Can socialists in this country explain how taxing American corporations/companies more is good?

Republicans want to destroy this country and suck the dick of the people that are offshoring all of our jobs.


Oh brother. You people. You listen to some idiot, that knows almost nothing, and mindlessly repeat it.

Ok, so let's actually look at reality. Why does Wisconsin suck? Because of tax cuts? You moron. You mindless ape.

Wisconsin

Wisconsin's 2016 Business Tax Climate Index Ranks 43rd
Wisconsin ranks 43rd on the Tax Foundation's State Business Tax Climate Index. The Index compares the states in five areas of taxation that impact business: corporate taxes (32nd), individual income taxes (43rd), sales taxes (13th), unemployment insurance taxes (36th), and taxes on property (33rd), including residential and commercial property.

43rd.

Meaning, out of 50 states, there are only 7 states that are worse for business.

This includes corporate taxes, 7.9%, Sales tax 5%, and property tax that averages $1800 per person.

Wisconsin's individual income tax system consists of 4 brackets with a top rate of 7.65%. The top rate ranks 9th highest among states levying an individual income tax. Wisconsin's state and local tax collections per person were $1,258 in 2013, which ranked 13th highest nationally.

Wisconsin's individual income tax system consists of 4 brackets with a top rate of 7.65%. The top rate ranks 9th highest among states levying an individual income tax. Wisconsin's state and local tax collections per person were $1,258 in 2013, which ranked 13th highest nationally.
Over all tax collection was 13th highest in the Union.

And as for this ignorant mental case you posted.... here's the facts....

View attachment 85474

Wisconsin's economic situation was worse than Minnesota, and the US average, long before the tax cut, and longer than Scott Walker was ever elected.

Wisconsin has been, and still is, a business hostile State. Left-wing policies have made, and continue to make, Wisconsin noncompetitive to the rest of the country.

If that wasn't enough, the left-wingers have been against the logging and paper industry for decades, and Wisconsin's primary industry, is the paper industry, which between the digital age, and the growing paper imports from China, the paper industry in the US is staggering.

Paper Cuts: Wisconsin's paper industry battles the threat of digital, China as a paper power.

And lastly.... Trickle down is how the world works. The only reason there is even ONE JOB in Wisconsin is because of Trickle down.

Everything is trickle down. Everything. Not one single job would exist, without trickle down. It has always worked, and continues to work. And for you, or any other left-winger to even attempt to deny it, only signifies that you are completely and utterly unqualified to talk about the economy, and likely not mentally stable to enough to talk about any topic.

To see how foolish this stupidity is from the left, just consider the counter claim. Are you seriously suggesting that job growth would drastically increase if we just taxed the companies and people leaving Wisconsin at a higher rate? You really think that makes sense in left-tard land? How dumb can any human being be, and still breath, let alone type something this moronic into a forum?

If we just jack up taxes on companies and the public.... why jobs will just pop into existence from all the companies leaving.... yeah brilliant.

Wisconsin ranks among top states people are leaving

Just jack up those taxes dude. Everyone will turn right around "I love paying more taxes!", and head back to Wisconsin. Only the dumbest of left-wing-nuts would post this crap.


As you well know, people are leaving Wisconsin from the major cities, such as Milwaukee, run into ruin by Democrats for decades.
The detail I state is the point. The point is your source didn't show what you claimed and you tried to add in things the source doesn't include.
The rich don't pay enough, the middle class and poor too much. What a gd idiot...

Specifically, how is that possible since the lowest 47% of workers pay no income tax?
''As you well know, people are leaving Wisconsin from the major cities, such as Milwaukee, run into ruin by Democrats for decades."

There is white flight from the cities, but you'll find they go to the suburbs. Just typical US racism...And blacks have voted for Dems for years- they know racists are mainly GOP.


If Republicans are racists [LIE], how are things working out for blacks by blindly following Democrats?

Racist_zps8e02fabb.jpg


What have Republicans done to make the lives of minorities better? They vote Democratic because at least Democrats are active in their neighborhoods and provide programs to help them

Republicans finding a few minorities to run under their banner does not absolve them of racism or the racists who flock to their party


Republican%20Civil%20Rights%20Accomplishments_zpskmfvrvzt.jpg
 
Yep, that's socialism and the greed of socialists like Mertex.

Ironic she says the rich always want more, isn't it?

Another trickle down sucker, Kaz......bwahahaha.

It's not trickle down, it's flood down. What you want is trickle up poverty. When a poor guy gives you a job, let me know

What happens when workers are actually paid a reasonable wage?

Is it trickle up poverty? Do their employers and stock holders actually become poor or do they just surrender some of the wealth they have been holding back?

Workers are paid exactly their worth for what they produce for the company. That's one reason I chose to be self-employed. I decide what I am worth, no one else. Worked extremely well for over 40 years.

Which says nothing about the nationwide drop in wages at the worker level while corporations are seeing record profits

The profits a corporation makes has nothing to do with how much an employee is paid. No relationship whatsoever. Unless the employee has an ownership interest in the business or is also a stockholder.

Yes, there is a huge drop in wages, send your thank you note to Lame Duck President Barack Hussein Obama.
 
As a matter of fact, they are
Affirmative action has helped place millions of blacks in higher level positions previously reserved for white males. Jobs training and placement programs have helped minorities escape poverty. Minority small business incentives have helped upward mobility

But at least Republicans built more prisons

Gee, with all that, blacks have over a 70% out of wedlock birth rate. You are seven times more likely to be murdered by a black than a white. Democrat cities (such as mine) has seen deterioration and low employment. The cities that aren't totally destroyed yet will get burned down by yet another black riot. High school graduation rates for blacks are the lowest of any group in our country. In our prison systems, blacks make up 37% of the population while whites make up only 32%, yet blacks only makeup 13% of our entire US population.

If blacks consider Democrats their friends, then who needs enemies?

There is no question that our capitalists that Republicans crown as "job creators" have used up and abandoned our cities. Even Cleveland

How is this possible?

Cities%20of%20Poverty_zpskq9amdf7.jpg
 
DEFINITELY worse off than in France, Germani, Holland Switz, Scandinavia, OZ, NZ, Canada. DUHHHHH Dupes...
None And get 6 week vacations, free day care, free health care etc etc DUHHHHHHH.

i LOVE the word "free" ---- who pays for those "free" things?
Single pay health care. Tax payers. Here, free birth control is cheaper than no BC. And free HC is cheaper than our stupid system.

Who pays for "FREE"?
Taxpayers duh. It's cheaper that way for them.

So it is NOT "FREE". Those who pay taxes pay double the cost of whatever is being "given" to someone "FREE". Wonderful!
It's free when you need it. You always paid for the indigent, just in the stupidest, deadliest way...

I don't see taxes as good and I have only fear with thought of Trump imposing tariffs on imports.
 
There's your mistake ... workers don't "create" the wealth. They work for a wage .... they are a tool the employer uses to create wealth, no different than a hammer, or a printing press. Are you suggesting we should pay hammers a 'living wage', not? What do you think the 'living wage' is for a printing press these days.

Absolutely people should be paid a living wage. You want the US to turn into a third-world shithole?
What's a living wage?
$12+

Where?
All other modern countries....
 
this has got to be the stupidest post I've ever seen... you have no Idea where the money goes and whose spending it
...Well in general, anyone that is not producing, is a problem is this bull shit at its best ... or what !!! have you look at how much of these non-producing people cost the national budget each year ??? by your ignorant statement here you haven't looked ... you just responded to typical right wing propaganda ... .008 percent of the national budget goes to people on welfare .... 75% of the taxed dollars for the rich and the top 1% goes in their pockets ... from not paying their fair share ...by getting tax deductions they get ... now you're trying to say welfare people cause this 17 trillion dollar debt ??? how about republicans passing unfunded legislation ... could that have been the cause??? Naw its them damn welfare people HUH...

Unfunded legislation, like what for instance?

Not paying their fair share? The top 10% of wage earners in this country pay 70% of all collected federal income tax. If that's unfair, then what is fair?

.008% of our budget goes to welfare? You mean welfare checks or all welfare including things like food stamps and Medicaid? Would love to see your source on that one.

"A liberal believes that if you make money, you are not entitled to it, but if you want money, you are."
Ken Blackwell
are you really this stupid ??? really !!! are you ??? do you have your head so far in your ass that you have no Idea whats going on around you??? really, I being sincere here ... you haven't any Idea what bills did the republicans pass that was unfunded ??? no Idea at all hummmmm !!!

1 Percenters Pay 24 Percent and Top 10 Percent Pay 53.3 Percent of All Federal Taxes ... that means they pay the percentage of tax to the feds . the rich 1% pays 24 % of the taxes collected ... the 10% pay 53.3% of the paid taxes so you totals are off quite a bit off ... that means the rest of the tax base pays 46.6% of the total money collected each year... on the whole the rich 1% pay 10% you can document this ... the 10% are paying between 15% to 28% of the money they make ... of the two totals they are paying 53.3% of the tax collected... so when you said The top 10% of wage earners in this country pay 70% of all collected federal income tax thats not true ... but thats what you get for being uninformed

as for unfunded taxes by republicans ...I'll give you one for a starter ... then you do some god damn research for once in your right wing life... Medicare Part D .... pass unfunded by the republicans ... cost the american tax payer 500 billion dollars the first year... 2 years that's 1 trillion dollars to the national debt pile... not to worry thought obama care has allocated money for it each year to cut the cost in 2020 it will be totally funded ... thanks to obama ...but hey, obama has done nothing but raise taxes right!!!

and you are right ... if you make a lot of money in this country you aren't entitled to it all... you have to pay taxes ...you don't get to keep all the money you make ... because this country runs on taxes to make it work .... you selfish bastards use all of the benefits this country has to offer, but when you see a black person, a brown person, or anyone thats not you, you feel we are being over taxed ... you feel that you aren't getting to keep your hard earn money ... this country doesn't work that way ... if you don't like paying taxes or your fair share move to a country that doesn't tax ... then you can keep that hard earned money of yours

finally I see you right wing nut jobs do this you trying put all the programs under one window ... let me enlighten you ... welfare is one program .... food stamps is one program... section 8 is one program all design to help people in need ...
welfare can have people on section 8 and food stamps ... people working 2 to 3 jobs can be on food stamps and section 8 ... people working can be on section 8 ... people working can get food stamps ... you trying to put all the programs in a lump sum and call it welfare ...it doesn't work that way ... there's welfare, there's food stamps, there's section 8, all separate programs, all allocated so much money to them out of the national budget ... the .008% of the national budget goes to welfare...2% of the national budget goes to food stamps ... look it up its on the web ... section 8 is payed by the state and not the feds ... each state has it own percentage that the state budget goes to section 8 ... some states have stop section 8 housing ... on the whole 2.008% of your tax dollars goes to help people in need... the other % on section 8 is based on state by state bases ...

finally you people on the right are so uninformed when it comes to social programs... that you try an lump it in a single sum ... it doesn't work that way ... people on welfare can get into a lot of social programs design to help them ... under Bill clinton he pass welfare laws that say they can only be own welfare for 2 years after that 2 years they are taken off...

Then you wonder why we call you people the uninformed voters.

Welfare is welfare. It doesn't matter if it's section 8, food stamps, Medicaid, welfare checks, it's all welfare. It's taxpayers giving money to people to live on. And it's a hell of a lot more than .008% of our budget.

As for taxes:

Top 20 Percent of Households Pay 94 Percent of Income Taxes

$100K-Plus Earners Pay 72% of Federal Income Taxes

And from FactCheck.org:

But Medicare has three other parts: Part B (which covers physician services and medical supplies not paid for by Part A); Part C (Medicare Advantage, which provides benefits through a private insurance company); and Part D (which is the prescription drug benefit). Medicare Parts B and D are financed through the Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund, or SMI, which is supported mostly by general revenues and premiums paid by beneficiaries. Part C includes Part A and Part B, but is coverage offered through private plans rather than traditional Medicare.

Ryan’s Muddy Medicare Claims
I am sick and tired of you trying to make the rest of us feel guilty because the top 20% allegedly pay 94% of income taxes collected. Have you guessed WHY? Surprise, surprise…. it is because they own more than 85.1% of the wealth in the USA. That leaves the vast majority of us (80%) scrambling for the 14.9%. 80% of the US population does not generate enough tax money to fund the government. SO I don't feel sorry for the top 20% having to pay the bulk of the taxes collected. They have the money. The bottom 80% do NOT.

Reaganism and the new bs GOP undoubtedly cut the amount spent on garbage collection, like everything else for the nonrich and the country. To save the rich and giant corps.

Sure he did. Now run along, I think I hear the nurse calling you.
You are clueless about the big picture, dupe. BTW, listen, stupid. I'M TALKING ABOUT REAGANISM, NOT REAGAN. He would have given up on this fleece the nonrich crap a long time ago. Idiot.
Reagan cut taxes on the non-rich to zero, dumbass Prior to that everyone had to pay income taxes, no matter how little they made.
 
The power grid and communications get no help from the gov't? Your ignorance is so powerful....lol

government subsidies for power grid and communications - Google Search

Your Google search turned up one grant of $35 million for developing the smart grid.
This says 8 BILLION.
Smart Grid Investment Grant Program

How much for wind, solar, and nukes? You dupes are amazing....

"Smart grid" is just part of the green energy boondoggle. You haven't helped your case with that example.
 
US corporations added $8 trillion in wealth under Obama. Hard to argue that they need government protections, deregulation or special incentives to keep the money train going

Hillary needs to listen to Bernie and Liz Warren and put a stop to the gravy train...they obviously don't need it

What does "added $8 trillion in wealth" mean? Is that the increase in their profits, gross revenue, pure bullshit?
Corporate assets

In other words, the stock price. It doesn't reflect any tangible increase in wealth. It's pure inflation.
 
Go ahead and explain why that is a good thing for the country.

Keep in mind folks that the American socialists are by far the dumbest people on the planet.

Let us hear why American companies should be taxed more and why that is a good thing.
It takes money to protect those companies as well as build infrastructure.. If they don't want protection or good roads, let them move to Kenya or Uganda.
Does even the simplest of things have to be explained to Republicans?
look at companies they get a tax cut on research and development ... they get to write off their company fleet ... the gas they use ...the electricity they use ... then complain they pay to much in taxes... if you ever set down and look at what a company pays in taxes or doersn't pay, it will make you want to puke

PLEASE, share with us your infinite knowledge of SPECIFICALLY who pays corporate taxes.

As a Realtor, an Independent contractor, I too got to write off any courses I took, conventions I attended travel, mileage, computers, printers, software, postage, cell phone usage, home office and the list goes on. So what?

Billyrock wants the government to tax gross revenue, even if the company is losing money. How long do you think before our economy collapsed under that scheme? I would say it would take one fiscal quarter.

Supposedly, Democrats have been making the live of minorities better for over 50 years now. Aren't they doing great today?

Damn, that was perfectly stated ...
Excep Nixon, Ford, Reagan cut all that crap out DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

Really? When did Nixon, Ford or Reagan cut welfare?

Affirmative action has helped place millions of blacks in higher level positions previously reserved for white males. Jobs training and placement programs have helped minorities escape poverty. Minority small business incentives have helped upward mobility

Gee, with all that, blacks have over a 70% out of wedlock birth rate. You are seven times more likely to be murdered by a black than a white. Democrat cities (such as mine) has seen deterioration and low employment. The cities that aren't totally destroyed yet will get burned down by yet another black riot. High school graduation rates for blacks are the lowest of any group in our country.

Meaningless leftwing babble. How do corporations "use up" a city? All the cities that are shitholes have been run by Democrats for decades. Milwaukee has had a Democrat mayor since 1901.
 
They make a nice scapegoat.......

But in reality, corporations are sitting on trillions of dollars while they claim they are too poor to afford higher wages

So what corporation ever made that claim?

Companies don't determine what an employee is worth, the employee determines that for themselves.

Why should any company pay an employee more than they're worth? Because they have the money?
Once again, you substitute microeconomic solutions for a nationwide macroeconomic issue
You substitute babble and myths for facts.

All due to GOP (mainly) racist discrimination, white flight, manufacturing flight, discriminatory policy. Or you believe blacks are inferior, and are a racist yourself.

How can it be from "GOP discrimination" when Democrats are running all the shit holes? The cause of "white flight" and "manufacturing flight" is the desire of people with money to get away from Democrat policies. Since Democrats are running all these shit holes, how are Republicans responsible for "discrimination?"
 
Once again, you substitute microeconomic solutions for a nationwide macroeconomic issue

That seems to be your default response instead of addressing the issues one at a time.

Very few overpay workers be it companies, you or I. We all look for the people that will do work for the lowest price. Those who overpay workers are heading for the failure of their business or individuals who have nothing better to do with their money.
We are talking about a national economic issue and you continue with your simplistic mom and pop responses

Blaming everything on "the man" is simplistic."
 
i LOVE the word "free" ---- who pays for those "free" things?
Single pay health care. Tax payers. Here, free birth control is cheaper than no BC. And free HC is cheaper than our stupid system.

Who pays for "FREE"?
Taxpayers duh. It's cheaper that way for them.

So it is NOT "FREE". Those who pay taxes pay double the cost of whatever is being "given" to someone "FREE". Wonderful!
It's free when you need it. You always paid for the indigent, just in the stupidest, deadliest way...
People who work hard never need it. They can always find a job.

$100K-Plus Earners Pay 72% of Federal Income Taxes

And from FactCheck.org:

But Medicare has three other parts: Part B (which covers physician services and medical supplies not paid for by Part A); Part C (Medicare Advantage, which provides benefits through a private insurance company); and Part D (which is the prescription drug benefit). Medicare Parts B and D are financed through the Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund, or SMI, which is supported mostly by general revenues and premiums paid by beneficiaries. Part C includes Part A and Part B, but is coverage offered through private plans rather than traditional Medicare.

Ryan’s Muddy Medicare Claims
I am sick and tired of you trying to make the rest of us feel guilty because the top 20% allegedly pay 94% of income taxes collected. Have you guessed WHY? Surprise, surprise…. it is because they own more than 85.1% of the wealth in the USA. That leaves the vast majority of us (80%) scrambling for the 14.9%. 80% of the US population does not generate enough tax money to fund the government. SO I don't feel sorry for the top 20% having to pay the bulk of the taxes collected. They have the money. The bottom 80% do NOT.

In other words, he's a pinko professor. His graph is no more credible than Hillary's testimony about her email server.
