America was warned that globalism would negatively effect us.
We didn't listen.
Now we pay the price.
Eh, if it gets bad enough, there will be a revolution to off set the difficulties. The worst thing that could happen is to have millions dead, but that's the worst case scenario.
Over the last 4 years there were 26 major U.S. corporations that paid zero federal tax, and others, like Wells Fargo went from paying nothing to paying rates like 3.8 %. So I don't know where you're getting the idea that corporations are paying high taxes.
You are already there - because that IS the level on which the right operates and bloviates. I fully understand the ignorance of your party and why we are here today.
Spouting gibberish about rats doesn't make you appear wiser. No offense.
Right!
Please explain what the dems have done in the past 50 years to ensure jobs stayed here.
Seriously, I have no idea why you folks worship these corporations and cheer them on. Eventually they, you and I will all suffer from it. But you're too wrapped up in your almost sexual mania for these guys to see it.
Never met anyone that worships capitalism.
Your resentment toward anyone that prefers capitalism (freedom) over other economic models is effecting your ability to think straight.
That's fair, as long as we're not giving tax breaks and pork to companies who choose to hire off shore. If they're making record profits, the demand is there and they're hiring--it only becomes an issue when they're not hiring HERE, but we're still giving them freebies.
There is like a million different ways to increase profit without a increase in product demand.
Companies will only hire people if their is enough work to justify the position. Period. It does not matter if they made a thousand dollars profit last year or a billion.
All this talk about tax rates around the edges is nonsense. You can give all the tax breaks you want to hire people. Aint no one gonna take it. It costs far more to employ someone than you will ever save in taxes.
Raising taxes does not create one job though, as some people seem to think.
I said I'm a free market guy. That means I believe the free market is the way to go for everyone.
I never said I live in one.
And monopoly over money is bad. That's why private corporations should start printing it. it would be nice to have 4 or 5 choices of what money to use.
You should read a book called "Good Money" by George Selgin. It's on Amazon. Plenty of private companies have coined money over the years. Matter of fact, it's pretty safe to say the Industrial Revolution does not happen without the private sector making money. Your theory that you can't have a free market with private money does not match with historical fact.
George Selgin is a senior fellow at the CATO INSTITUTE, a well-known right wing "think-tank." There's no purpose in picking up this dude's book. By knowing he's associated with the CATO INSTITUTE, we already know what he thinks.
Yep, so crush the hell out of the small business owners like Obama wants. Then have the ignorance to wonder where the jobs are.
It's funny how the people wait around for Obama to create jobs.
I'm all for small business owners. It's the big corporations that have sunk our country.
