As a small business owner,

Yawn.


I'm well aware of corporate taxes, and that I will pay them while the largest corporations pay no taxes despite billions in profits.

Yawn.


Once again, you are either unable to grasp, or unwilling to acknowledge the fundamental reality of attempting to tax a corporation. As long as you insist on basing your position on a false premise, there is little point in addressing the resulting errors and fallacies in your position.


"Look, I'm wholly unimpressed by your data-less assertions about jobs and taxes. I can look at the data just like you can (and should.) Our most prosperous times as a country were when our taxes were basically at their highest. The foundation of our middle class was built when the highest personal rates were over 70% for the richest Americans."

You should learn the difference between "data" and absurd political propaganda. Simply not true.


"The reason we struggle internationally is that we, for no good reason, are competing with slave labor. Worse, we only tax imported Chinese goods 2%. But when we make a product and sell in China, they slap a 20% tax on them. Why are we doing that, and who does it benefit? Hint: It's not the American citizens. It's just a tiny handful of greedy businesses that benefit. Is that who you represent? Sounds like it."

Once again, you are either unable to grasp, or unwilling to acknowledge the economic mechanics of free trade.

And is it NOT just the labor rates, it is the regulatory and tax environments.

Industries that are heavily automated are going overseas just as fast as ones that are heavily affected by labor costs.


There is no tax rate that will make us able to compete with people paid pennies an hour. The math is way, way, way off for that, and you know it. Worse, we have American corporations lobbying foreign governments to abandon their plans to raise local minimum wages. We literally meddle in the internal affairs of other nations to secure slave labor. It's time to end this nonsense and make it clear who we serve. Is it the average worker or the tiny handful of greedy rich?



OK, I give up. I wish I had taken more psychology in college. Your post is interesting in it's obsessive, manic adherence to false premises, and your astounding lack of understanding of very simple cause and effect relationships. Does the left wing Orwellian hate propaganda really confuse you this badly, or does it just make the blind party allegiance more appetizing for you? I have to go do something productive at the moment, but I might come back and look at this later, as it may shed some insight into the flawed reasoning processes of those suffering from liberalism.
