Fine jack up da taxes to 99% ..hell nationalize everything.. Lets be Cuba :rolleyes

You're really good with hyperbole and strawmans. We all know they don't pay the rate now, that rate only effects small businesses that don't have the fancy accounting techniques. It's a shell game and you know it.
 
If people get over taxed no one reinvests...its simple.

How much of someone's wage ya want ON TOP of onerous regulations? 50%? 60% :lol
 
Want to lower taxes for corporations, that'll make it less that what they pay now because we all know they only pay a small fraction of what they're supposed to pay.

I'd actually like an embargo on all goods from U.S. companies who get funny and move their "operating base" to another country. Without U.S. consumers, majority of these companies wouldn't survive.
 
:lol u cant hold corporations hostage..

Thats not how real life works.

Da ones that can afford to leave they will, others will go outta business. Simple.

You know who gets screwed? Consumers & employees.
 
If people get over taxed no one reinvests...its simple.

I know you live in a echo chamber, but they DO NOT pay the effective tax rate now.

What would you say if we closed the loopholes? I have an idea, but I'd to hear it from you.

I told u pages ago to close da damn loopholes and lower da entire rates.

Yey people hear wanna keep jackin up da rates..thats fine, let em all leave or go outta business :lol
 
Lemme ask you something.. How many poor people have gotten me a job?

Da answer is zero

If u dont reduce da burden for businesses to create & prosper, how does it hire people? 8o

Da answer is it wont.

My mother used to own a business (a Tire shop), you know what Happened when regulations got too onerous? She shut it down and let go of all her employees.

You dont kill da goose that lays da golden egg.

Da private sector MUST be da driver of GDP growth, along with disciplined government.


I agree to an extent. This notion that every business has to thrive without any gov oversight is BS. Do that in third world countries. Not land of the free. The workers makes the business run. Can't afford accordingly? Then you cease to have business. Can the gov oversight be too much? Yes, of course.

You mean like how drumpf has been spouting this about apple?

On Apple

“I think we’re going to get things coming. We’re going to get Apple to start building their damn computers and things in this country instead of in other countries.” -Drumpf

On Ford

Trump has regularly bashed U.S. companies for manufacturing their products elsewhere. A regular target ― including in his Monday speech ― has been Ford Motor Co. with Trump threatening a 35% import tariff on any cars made in Mexico (while simultaneously calling himself a “free trader”).

Is he admitting that the candidate he is endorsing is living in a fantasy world? 8o

“I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created. I will bring back our jobs from China, from Mexico, from Japan, from so many places. I’ll bring back our jobs and I’ll bring back our money.”

-Drumpf

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is threatening a floor fight over rules and platform planks at the party's summer convention if the Democratic National Committee stacks the committees with supporters of Hillary Clinton.
Sanders writes in a letter to Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz that the makeup of the standing committees should reflect the level of support that he and Clinton received in the primaries and caucuses.
He says many of his supporters have not been included and notes Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy will be in charge of the convention's platform committee and former Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank will run the rules committee. He calls both "aggressive attack surrogates" for Clinton.

Trump would LOWER taxes so they wouldn't wanna leave in da 1st place... Nice try :lol
 
How low would he have to push them though? If it is still more profitable to produce your stuff overseas, companies won't stop, all they will do it say thank you for the lower taxes in America.

And one thing supply side economics has proven to do is explode deficits, ask Reagan, Bush and the entire state of Kansas about that

But I guess conservatives are only deficit hawks when a Democrat is in office

Ya keep pissing off Bernie he's gonna run 3rd party :lol

Its called you ask them what would it take to keep manufacturing here. This is why we have a chamber of commerce.

Low wages to the tune of a couple of dollars a day, maybe?

Payroll constitutes the largest expense of businesses; that's why they lay people off first when profits are threatened. They don't go to their accountants to figure out how to pay the IRS less.
