Scenario: Corporate subsidies end. Prices skyrocket because the cost of doing business has skyrocketed. Will the poor and middle classes be okay with that?
Look, I'm here to try and teach you something....now pay attention to us adults.
Why would I buy into your rhetoric that's been proven wrong over and over. The thread title/topic was about a 15.3% flat tax, NOT 5, 10, OR 15 PERCENT or a left-right issue.
Stop screwing around trying to change the topic.

That sort of doesn't make any sense though. How would prices skyrocket if businesses are already paying 15% now? How would the cost of doing business skyrocket if subsidies were removed? after all, that is a form of a government handout which is what some people would like to see if entitlements were cut.
LOL. How is it proven? You think by showing your out of context work you prove anything?
BUT. Let's just assume it is correct. Then so what? You want to take more from the middle class and lower class to lesson the burden on the upper class? Is that what you want?

Would that be the same government services and benefits that foster welfare-dependency by handing out freebies to the poor, thereby incentivizing a 3 times higher birth rate among the welfare-dependent than everyone else with the following results ?:
Nutritional assistance program 47 percent of beneficiaries were children under age 18.
8 percent were age 60 or older.
(Table A.21).
So can I assume you CAN't answer my question and are DEFLECTING.
Did you know that in the country Sudan the birth rate is 4.3 children per woman despite the lack of welfare benefits. Did you know the trend is similar for birthrates among the poor throughout the world despite welfare benefits or not....

Of course not. That's why it is a good idea to have a strong government in these modern, global times.
Ending so-called "corporate welfare" would increase the cost of doing business, resulting in higher prices for goods and services. Econ 101.
And ending welfare for the lower class will just make them poorer and create only more instability. Ever open a history book and see the basis of most rebellions and social uprisings? History 101.

It's not out of context. Look up the median income of the middle class and the top 1%. My math example is SPOT ON.
