How is it America is in debt and doesn't have enough money?

[Penelope]

Manufacturing has doubled with fewer people.

Corporate profits at a 13 year high.

Yet Republicans insist we have to cut taxes on corporations because, because, well that parts not clear.

So if business is doing so fantastic, why shouldn't they pay their fair share? Aren't they Americans too?

Because we are one of if not the highest taxed industrialized country in the world? Lowering the encumbrances of government (tax burden) will spur foreign investors to bring their money back home and invest their money here and invest in new developments creating new jobs. Plus the Middle Class gets to keep more of their own money. Other than that, I can't think of a single reason why.

Why do you have to go and start lying. Why does your kind always have to lie?

27 giant profitable companies paid no taxes

Our high corporate tax rates give companies an incentive to hold money offshore?

Who could have seen that coming, eh?

And when you lower it , they will not pay any. A cheat is always a cheat.

And when you lower it , they will not pay any.

Why won't they pay any?

Because a scorpion stings, that is what it does, a crook steals, that is his nature. It will never be enough.

It takes a long time to undo the damage that the obummer inflicted on this country. He had eight years to screw this place up. Give the trumpster some time.

Look at what was handed to Obama by the GOP and then look at what Obama handed Trump and say that again with a straight face.

I have and I can. obummer was crippling this country. He had set up all the blocks so that when the shrilary got elected they could have destroyed this country. Trumps election foiled that plan.

Describes the shrilary to a "T". A "public servant" with no actual accomplishments to her name, somehow amasses a fortune of over 250 million dollars. And she wanted more.

I agree, we must minimize what the government steals.

It will never be enough.

Tell me about it. Fucking government.

Foxconn and Toyota/Mazda are coming here. We do not need a Inc tax cut,

nor do the wealthy need a tax cut. They want a 14.5 % tax cut, how much are they going to cut the 10-15 and 25% and we do not want the standard deduct raised, or no tax on inheritances. We also do not need an increase in HSA's and free inheritance of (just another way for the elites to sock tax free money away)

If Obama hadn't save America's auto industry, no car companies would ever move here because there would be no manufacturing structure.

Bullshit.
We could have saved the auto makers without handing billions to the UAW.

People! All these companies are doing is using the legal mechanisms made available in our overly complex tax code! They don't write it, Congress does. You would use it too and they would be foolish not to. Trump is trying to lower the taxes and simplify the code, so I can count you in as being a Trump Tax Supporter to help eliminate a lot of this crap? Of course not. You complain just for the sake of complaining; Trump is doing many things that Bill Clinton said decades ago; when he said them, you were all for it, now that Trump says the same stuff, he's an idiot.

We have more and more baby boomers retiring and Republicans will defend the fund. We need to strengthen Medicare and social security. You're on your own till 65 then after that you should be able to retire.

 

[deanrd]

But we can spend 800 billion per year on defense and go to war every 5 fucking seconds. BUT, we can't maintain our roads, science institutions, educate our children or much else. Conservatives use this bullshit as a political tool but they don't stop the things that cause the damn debt in the first place. It is all bullshit.

All that defense spending and wealthy Republicans make a fortune.

Why else would they do it. They don't love this country. They are for everything the country is supposed to be against. They think education is a waste of time. They practice voter suppression. They are against freedom of the press. They are racist. They only want to let in a "certain kind of immigrant".

Yes, we want immigrants who are hard workers, will be a benefit to this country, and who aren't violent criminals.

Then what's wrong with cutting food stamps and welfare if Obama did such a great job?

Obama did do a great job. Considering what he was given.

You do know what he was given, don't you?

I'm of the opinion that taxes on business profits as a way to generate revenue for governments is a bad idea, here is why.

Businesses aren't "people" and we shouldn't treat them as such. "Businesses" are organizations made up of people who do work for that business in order to supply goods and services to trade for financial compensation. Earnings are used by those that represent the businesses interests either internally to maintain or expand the business or paid out of the business as profits to someone.

When you tax a business it simply becomes a cost that businesses must incorporate along with all its other costs and is incorporated in the price of a particular product. That means that consumers pay the tax, not the business.

If you believe that people should pay taxes, then the taxes need to be paid when the money is taken from the business and paid to a person as a salary or any form of compensation. We should incentivize the use of corporate profits to expand business and invest in workers.
