Ah, a Crazy Ron Paul Follower, eh? I didn't realize that I was dealing with a Libertarian Child with a child-like view of the world.
The reason why Reagan wasn't able to cut government was there was really nothing to cut. So he slashed taxes on rich people, grew the military, and wondered why he had tripled the national debt in 12 years despite walking back some of the dumber laws.
No, that's a problem, it's why we need to start treating campaign donations like bribery.
Wealth inequality is a huge problem, and not because everyone is good at business, but because when you don't have worker and consumer protections, along with progressive taxation, the wealth accumulates at the top. This is never good because, eventually, people at the bottom get sick of it. Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, etc.
I've been working since I was 16, and I got educational opportunities my dad never had. I still don't enjoy the economic life he enjoyed just being part of a trade union. So don't give me THIS bullshit.
Big businesses had the resources to send people to work from home, test employees, put cleaning crews on standby, etc. The company I worked for during the lockdown sent us home from April to June and had several sanitation operations running every time an employee tested positive.
As for small businesses, 50% of those fail even in a good economy.
I think big business needs to be kept on a shorter leash.
In other words, you don't know anything about economics.I'm not your intern or your economics professor.
Have you not read up on why progressive tax is superior?
That babyish troll tactic won't help you.In other words, you don't know anything about economics.
No specifics yet. I'll wait.That babyish troll tactic won't help you.
And the irony is that clearly you know nothing about progressive tax or economics.
You're right, no specifics from you. It's not the world's job to do any work to "disprove" the unevidenced claims of every nutsack on the internet. Not how the world works.No specifics yet. I'll wait.
Alright, I'll bite. Progressive taxation just pushes the wealthy to put more wealth into less taxed endeavors, like capital gains. If you then tax capital gains more, then the wealthy just start offshoring money. There's your start.You're right, no specifics from you. It's not the world's job to do any work to "disprove" the unevidenced claims of every nutsack on the internet. Not how the world works.
Not when those are properly taxed. And that's fine, because a degree of reinvestment is good for the economy.Progressive taxation just pushes the wealthy to put more wealth into less taxed endeavors, like capital gains.
The point is that taxing wealth more at a time when America has become a less attractive country to invest in than before is extremely foolish. The dollar has been steadily losing primacy, and there are numerous other countries that are either already a better market to invest in or are becoming that way.Not when those are properly taxed. And that's fine, because a degree of reinvestment is good for the economy.
So to that, the world says: so what? That's very basic stuff everyone already knows.
Also total nonsense. America remains the most secure investment on the planet. We are passing laws to STOP foreigners from buying up too much of America.The point is that taxing wealth more at a time when America has become a less attractive country to invest in than before is extremely foolish.
The laws we've passed are primarily with regard to China. We aren't trying to block most other foreigners.Also total nonsense. America remains the most secure investment on the planet. We are passing laws to STOP foreigners from buying up too much of America.
That is why white Christian nationalists/evangelicals need to quit voting in Republicans who write tax laws that benefit wealthy Republicans who do not give a fuck about the working and impoverished classes .Progressive taxation just pushes the wealthy to put more wealth into less taxed endeavors, like capital gains.
If you think the Democrats care about the working class, you're quite mistaken.That is why white Christian nationalists/evangelicals need to quit voting in Republicans who write tax laws that benefit wealthy Republicans who do not give a fuck about the working and impoverished classes .
It’s as if people who consume things need to be happy the rich provide them with material things and the jobs that make it possible and STFU about trivial things such as concentration of wealth at the very top.
