I'll suggest you read the book Ordinary Men. Pretty eye opening on the issue of just following govt orders and "doing my job". Hopefully we have more people like this sheriff stand up for us before we ever get to a point like that. I know it sounds far fetched. But a lot has happened in the...
It would be nice if the various state wildlife departments and government in general would start with the premise of "doing what is best for the future/kids". Unfortunately it seems like in most cases they just do what is politically expedient, easy, and generates the most $ in the short term.
I think we should stop using labels meant to keep Americans divided and from seeing the big picture. Everyone in the know knows that it is the elite "lizard" WEF folks that ultimately want to take our guns and put citizens in concentration camps. :)
Would you understand the reasoning if doctors spent 90% of their time focusing on diseases that were the rarest in nature and unlikely to affect any of their patients?
Taxes are inherently regressive. If a business makes something YOU need gets taxed at a higher amount, YOU will pay more for their product. Taxes hurt the poor more than the rich. I'm just willing to acknowledge that and try to make it simple to understand and cut out the complicated IRS bs...
This is why I think a flat sales tax is more fair/equitable. High wealth/income people buy the most stuff. They would be taxed the most. Not perfect but everyone would have skin in the game. Even folks that might be getting paid under the table would still pay sales tax.
My point is that the working class pays the bills either way. When corp taxes are raised 10% do you think corporations cut their profits, executive bonuses, etc... 10%? They do not. They pass along the additional cost to the consumer as much as the market will allow, they layoff workers to...
I think what is current is what is best because the market has already adjusted for it. How does raising expenses for Walmart, Lowes, Ford, GM, etc... benefit the working class?
Today's rates are not ideal. They are artificially fabricated for politics. The market should set the rates. Taking them away would cause more harm at this point, so I say leave them alone and use other tools such as interest rates and regulatory controls. Maybe quit printing money like a...
I'm not suggesting that at all. I'm saying the corp tax rates are a political tool. Much like min wage. Leave them alone and work on other economic tools.
Who on this thread is arguing to cut corporate taxes? I haven't seen one person. Yet you and Buzz have referenced that multiple times.
I'm not in favor of cutting or raising corp taxes. Much like the minimum wage, it is more a political tool than an economic tool. Helps to divide...
