Would a previous republican administration have gotten elected; if they had been honest about price inflation for fuel that happens, whenever there is conflict in the Middle East?Yet, the national socialist right wing, blame Only the poor for "not paying taxes".What is the actual effective tax rate of firms?Luckily, Winston has explained this here to everyone in post #25 of this thread, so I don't have to. Read his post. In short, the less money is left in businesses, the less labor they hire. And taking profits is not investing. Like I said, Reaganian woodoo economics again. But let me blow your cover. You want lower corporate taxes because you live on some retirement portfolio instead of work. This corporate tax reduction nonsense is popular in America because the number of retirees there is higher than working people.
Hmmm, okay, let me give you a more civilized reply. The example of "investing" under reduced corporate tax went like this in post #25. Your corporation has $100 and can make a reasonable $7 profit. The tax is 40 %. So you can pocket $60 now instead of rolling dices for $7 in the future. Now if the tax goes down to 10 %, you pocket $90. The corporation loses the $100 with 50 pt% higher likelihood under the reduced tax. So labor and operations are toast.
Maybe, they are just capital slackers. Don't firms get to write off, labor costs; unlike Labor.
Hmmm this is interesting. I don't know the answer, I am only a maths student with a summer internship in investment banking. But I think the actual effective tax rate of firms is negative.
Mind control, I think. Still not as bad as in Europe with the socialist. I am speculating here, that the more people become rednecks and ghetto goons, the more they depend on government money, and the institutions that control the government allocate funds to them in a way that ensures conflict, which is in the interest of generating the types of votes necessary per business cycle. For example, it would be interesting to follow the money as per deregulation-regulation cycle, or as per corruption cycle, or as per immigration cycle. To start, I could pick the obvious gas prices at the pump, which follow two patterns, an election cycle driven pattern during republican administration, and a flat volume based pattern during democrat administrations. Looks like speculation strategies must switch around in cycles, which determine voter engineering and election management. Apart from gas prices, we could work out the speculation cycles of the credit industry too, will come out similar, I bet.
I think they can't do that. They must keep production of supplies at minimum, to keep it just equal to the demand level. That way, any temporary disruption, such as weather or a war, will cause a positive spike in their prices. This is a market requirement for every commodity. If they were able to get around this, then they would not be republicans.
