I know two people who will open little factories......as soon as Obama is gone.

Your statement on post # 71
if a business relocates outside the USA, what jurisidiction does the US Government have to tax them anything over 0?

Relocates is not the same as located and you change the subject when you do that. If you want to pull a rabbit out of the hat, find a rabbit to put into it first. Pulling a dog out and calling it a rabbit fails in all but laughter.

I didnt at all change the parameters, I said relocates and stick with that statement.. You seem to want to make lots of accusations, not really have a discussion, nor backup any claim you make..

Why are you here again?

Tax cuts do not lower unemployment and they have absolutely nothing to do with inflation. Inflation is tied to global oil prices.

Nope. You have to get in there and fight and claw with the best of them, not just watch them work and DEMAND a COLA annually with lots of benefits....we just can't afford it....
The U.S. government can afford anything it wants to. We "afford" what people elect their officials to believe we can afford. We can "afford" the largest employer in the world (U.S. military), which employs thousands of workers. You ready to lay them off, too?

As Air-Tran used to say, "Go, there is nothing stopping you"........

Response???? Deafening sound of crickets....
You have no metrics by which to base your accusations. What is a "bloated government"? How is it costing "more than it should?" If you can answer those questions, we can gladly move to a more involved discussion.

A fallacy of reasoning that depends on intentionally saying something that is known to be false.

Yes, you do.

You can disprove my claim by posting sanitized versions of your income tax returns showing you do not take any tax credits or any tax deductions.

You're going to make Vlad in Romania pay a tariff on Chinese imports made by companies under US ownership?

How's that work?

Do the marines land at Vama Veche and overthrow the Romanian government, or do you just carpet bomb Romania?

What about the 1 Billion people in India?

Are you going to nuke them? If you nuke them, then who will be left to pay the tariff?

What's really sad about this, is you don't even understand 5th Grade Math.

Is $5 Profit * 6 Billion People greater or less than $5 Profit * 350 Million Americans and O Canadians!?

No, your thread is about taxing, um, "Wealth" (snicker).

You're the one who moved the goal-posts.

Why did you not mention that foreign companies in foreign States pay less in taxes, and are subsidized by their governments....you know, "corporate welfare?"

Oh, I get it.....it's not "corporate welfare" when the French government gives Peugeot $Billions in subsidies.

That has nothing to do with Capitalism, but thanks for misleading forum members.

Capitalism is a Property Theory.

The only relationship between Capitalism and Markets is that under Capitalist Property Theory, Capitalists respond to the demands of the Market faster than any government bureaucracy ever could, and also meets the demands of the Market, even when government refuses, because it will not profit.

The classic example is the Soviet Union and denim jeans.

Hot Russian chicks wanted to wrap their butts in blue jeans, but the Soviet government didn't make a high enough profit off of blue jeans, so the Capital was assigned to more profitable ventures. People like me would always carry Levi's that we bought at the PX when we went through Soviet Checkpoint Magdeburg or Soviet Checkpoint Marienborn (to trade to the Soviet soldiers there).

The Economic System determines prices.

In the Free Market System, the Market sets the prices based on Supply & Demand.

In the Soviet-style Command Market System, a bureaucracy like the government, or the American Hospital Association, dictates the prices you will pay, irrespective of Supply & Demand, you know, like a $55,000 appendectomy that really only costs about $2,800.

I would agree that you need to learn Economics to stop misleading people.

You can have Capitalism and Command Markets....your medical care is based on that.

Oh, that's right, that's another question you refuse to answer because it debunks your premise.

That's subterfuge.

In 1984, Debbie inherited 100 acres of land that her grandfather farmed for decades. Each acre had a theoretical value of $200, resulting in a total theoretical value of $20,000.

Your incessant demand for her land caused the theoretical value to increase to $22,000/acre, resulting in the total theoretical value being $2.28 Million.

What crime(s) did Debbie commit?

How was Debbie standing on your back? How was she forcing you to do anything?

Why do you refuse to answer such a simple questions?

What are you trying to hide from forum members?

In 1992, Rob's family scraped together $5,000 as a graduation gift for Rob. Rob used the $5,000 graduation gift to purchase stock.

Your incessant demand for the products made by the publicly traded corporation whose stocks Rob owns, caused the value to increase to the theoretical value of $1.6 Million.

What crime(s) did Rob commit?

How did Rob force you to purchase the products manufactured by the publicly traded corporation whose stocks he owns?

Did Rob use Remote Viewing or the Vulcan Mind Meld?

More subterfuge.

Maybe when you come to understand Opportunity Costs, there can be a fruitful truthful discussion.

So, you're not up to the challenge.

I get it.

Someone said something that you want to believe, and because you want to believe it so badly, it must be true, and it makes you feel good, in spite of the fact that you are unable to support your position with any facts.

Not evading....
