The rich have stolen over 40% of the value of our dollars and are now investing their stolen wealth in China. Foreign firms have been paying off politicians to lower wages of American workers to make America a third world country, but as long as Americans keep electing them why would they stop
hmmm the rich are doing what they can to make money, wow. perhaps we should kill all the rich people and take their money. as for the value of the dollar, it is the economic policies of the GOVERNMENT that hurt or help the dollars value, and that is reflected in the currency markets.

what we need is proper regulation, and proper government oversight, but little government interference in business, and a reasonable tax rate, and you can then watch business do what they do best, make money. and when businesses make money it is good for the people and the government both because business will need to people to work, increasing the tax base, to make their products, and provide the services. with proper regulation, business can start up or expand economically enough to make it worth the effort to take the risk on doing such things. we dont have to eliminate the things you indicated, just put some sanity back into those laws.

In the US it seems that the working man wants it all without doing nothing!
My question is why US is not competitive? Why US can't compete with China?
the reason china is kicking our butts, is because china has a business friendly environment. lower taxes, fewer regulations, and little government interference. if we were to copy what china is doing for business here, then we would kick the worlds butts again economically.

What we need are Politicians who put America first. Selling out to Hyundai or another foriegn company by lowering American Wages is selling out America. China is a "Business Friendly Environment" because it exploits it's workers and ignores the impact development is having. So if you will work for less than a Chinese factory worker go there.
A lot of European countries had(and have) a flat tax and it works pretty well!
Besides Russia that went to a flat tax because the government did such a poor job collecting taxes can you name another country in Europe that has a flat tax?
Without a rich person you would not have a computer or an internet connection.
Thank a rich person for giving you a job so you can eat, live and have things.
If anyone is getting away with murder it would be the lazy welfare bums who have now sucked 4 generations off those 47% who actually pay taxes into the system.
No America should go without paying taxes.
No poor bum has ever given someone a job.
Most people are simply jealous of successful, smart rich people.
Maybe someday you will be rich so we can steal most of your money away from you.
The rich pay what 85% of ALL taxes collected in America?

Well said.
You wont find a liberal who understands that.
They want to rich to pay for everything and they love those handouts without working and earning a living.
Liberals cannot run a popcorn stand without burning the butter or going bankrupt.

Ireland, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland and many other medium countries (I don't remember all). They introduced it to attract investors! And it worked! Anyway because of the crises some want to drop it (or already dropped it) and others want to introduce it!
