She isnt a liberal. Try understanding who is what before making judgments.
Suurreee she's not.....
Nope, I'm a moderate. I watch the republicans and democrats make fools of themselves. The two most corrupt parties in the history of our nation.
People have actually been lamenting technology eliminating jobs for many decades. Technology also increases productivity and reduces prices for consumers and makes American companies more competitive versus international and that increases jobs. Jobs don't go away, they move. And as people have more money, they buy more services, which creates service jobs.
What is anti-job is fighting job loss and driving up the cost of employees. If companies go offshore for cost, they should not be incented ed to do it to escape Obamacare, payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, overtime rules, the minimum wage and so on. The left lament the job loss while pushing companies off shore. Then they fight growth industries like energy and finance because they are evil.
The US would be fine if the left would stop helping. The Republicans are sad and pathetic, but at least they aren't driving those things.
Exactly. For decades now the U.S. government has been imposing more and more mandates, restrictions, and requirements, all of which add costs to doing business, on U.S. commerce and industry while taxing corporations at one of the highest rates in the world. And at the same time they threaten business with even more regulation, higher taxes, higher minimum wages, and push unionization. As the business climate becomes ever more restrictive and profit unfriendly, of course those wishing to do business are moving their businesses elsewhere to more business-friendly environments.
And I swear we have become a nation of idiots with our fearless leaders wringing their hands and desperately grasping at anything that would force those businesses to stay here while refusing to see that it is their own meddling that has created the situation in the first place. And their own convoluted ideology won't allow them to take any step to reverse it.
Our corporations pay less in taxes than ever before in history. Many of them pay no taxes at all.

A moderate is a person too chickenshit to admit they are a liberal.
Oh, a classic error on your part. Democrat and Republican are names of political parties.
Liberal and conservative are ideologies.
"Moderate" is nothing.

Silliness.
Our corporations include millions of small companies whose owners scraped together their life's savings, borrowed from friends and family and the bank and bought a piece of the rock hoping to turn it into better living than their parents could provide. The gov't dramatically changes the rules in midstream to satisfy those who neither bought nor risked ANYTHING. Peeps just like ... you.
Businesses don't pay taxes regardless of rates or shelters. They pass the taxes on to their consumers in the guise of higher costs. Right there in Microeconomics 101.
So go ahead and demand high taxes for businesses. It'll feel good, but don't bitch about how much stuff costs when you do.
You got the first one almost right.No....Incorporation exists for a number of reasons.Actually, corporations were created to protect against liability for damage.
While what you say may be true, the single minded pursuit of wealth doesn't require incorporation.
1. To protect the officer's or board member's PERSONAL assets from liability
2. To sell stock in the company
3. To permit stock holders to have a say in which the way the company operates. Gives shareholders a say by vote or proxy.
A more in depth explanation...Articles of Incorporation | Nolo.com
The protection of a corporation was created to shield anyone with an interest in the company including share holders and employees, not just officers. Plus, we clearly see cases today where corporate officers don't go to jail even if the decisions they made would result in jail time were they to do the crime as a private citizen - so it covers more than assets.
While making public offerings has restrictions, any number of people can put money together and take actions without incorporating using any form of decision making they want - be it a single person, magic 8-ball or whatever. And, they can let people buy in or sell out.

Tax breaks, no taxes and the CEOs making 500 times what their workers make. Yeah, things are doing great here in the good ole USA where the minimum wage has the lowest spending power history and the top 1% has increased their earnings by more than 200% while the middle class and poor has stagnated. Yep, lower taxes are going to help that because, well, we've lowered them so much already and look how much it's helped!
<ever feel like you're talking to morons?>
That's what we hear from people who've never run a business and have never taken an econ course. What really happens when costs (like taxes) go up, management has to look at the costumers' choices. If they can go elsewhere or if they can do without, then profits get cut. If the profits are cut too much, the company folds and the investors go elsewhere.... When you hit a business with a tax, they don't pay anything because they pass it to consumers as just another business expense. ...

Large companies find ways to a zero tax rate
Corporate giants such as telecom firm Verizon, drugmaker Bristol-Myers Squibb and power management firm Eaton, all reported effective tax rates of 0% during the past 12 months. The findings underscore that while many companies bellyache about the top federal income tax rate of 35%, in reality, many pay much less than that, says Nick Yee of Gradient Analytics. "Investors hope company management is doing everything they can to generate profit, legally," he says. "But the tax code is gray, and there's often no set guidance."

You're missing the point. When you hit a business with a tax, they don't pay anything because they pass it to consumers as just another business expense. Raise taxes on businesses results in higher costs to consumers. So why push for higher taxes on businesses when the end result is higher costs to already strapped consumers?

Liberals all think they're moderate. Liberals love to say that. So far I have only seen you argue with the left. It is what it is. And your post I was replying to included a ridiculous liberal stereotype of Republicans, a pure DNC talking point. If you're actually a moderate, why are you in bed with socialists?
