Are there any economic beneffits from global corporations ?

[Toddsterpatriot]

Selling things too cheaply? Why is that a problem?

Let's see; solar panels, steel, and cars, were product dumped in the US, all propagated by Republicans.

That's awful. Democrats prefer their products to be expensive?

When I save money on products, I have more money to buy other things or invest.
I guess you're whining about cheaper oil.

I am not completely against free trade, it has its benefits,.

you're not a good student are you?? Yes free trade has its benefits, such as we'd all starve to death if we had to grow our own food!! Do you see why we think liberalism is pure 100% ignorance?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

, specially if the removal of tariffs and free movement of labour is planned.

dear free trade requires the removal of tarriffs. Do you get it?? It isn't free trade if you have tariffs to restrict freedom.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

I am mostly against global corporations because they tend to offshore the profits to fiscal paradises.

OMG???? dear you just said you were opposed to tariffs!!!!!! Well a tarriff on money makes it harder to ship money across borders!!! OMG!!!!

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

In other words : let them do whatever they want. Is that supposed to bring beneffits for the society as a whole ? I don't think so.

dear, why not present an example where freedom to not pay corporate taxes, to merge, and to donate would do some harm?? What does your fear teach us??

They can fund more innovation and which people want. What this does is the demander(the people) go in buy it and the supplier is able to develop new products through the reality that they have the cash to afford the r&d. A global corporation will hire hundreds of thousands if not millions of workers and will have a huge impact on the economy of the nations it supplies jobs to.

dear no one disagrees so why did you bother to write that??? Slow???

Tariffs scare you?
How about taxes?

"Foreign profits held overseas by U.S. corporations to avoid taxes at home nearly doubled from 2008 to 2013 to top $2.1 trillion, said a private research firm's report, prompting a call for reform by the Senate's top tax law writer.

"'The new numbers ... certainly highlight what is one of the key challenges for tax reform. I do think there need to be some reforms in this area,' Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden told reporters on Tuesday on Capitol Hill.

"Under U.S. law, corporations do not have to pay income tax on most of their overseas profits until they are brought into the United States. These earnings can be held offshore for years if they are classified as indefinitely invested abroad."

What would Aristotle say?

Oh, but free movement of labour is something which you have repeatedly said is something you do not accept. And labour is just another commodity.
See how conservatives are 100% hypocrital ?

Sure they do. Why else would the import millions of illegal aliens and approve millions of H1-Bs?

It should be noted that some of these are currently taking place. That is, several top U.S. and multinational corporations receive significant tax cuts, merge to dominate various industries, but donate sums that are very small compared to what they earn.

Aye,
But a huge corporation employ more people than two or three local corporations?
Three corporations will surely be less efficient, as the big global corporation can benefit from the economy of scales to a greater degree, but, there will be more competition and it will be harder to avoid taxes.

oh baiamonte , as allways too slow , I already presented the case of the VOC.

I only benefit from lower oil if I have a job?

And labour is just another commodity.

If you're pushing for a temporary guest worker program, just come out and say it.

too 100% stupid and liberal as always. Both sides believe that countries can have borders,i.e., be countries. A child would not walk into that swinging door, but you just did? You have no shame.
