Xenophon
Gone and forgotten
Serving fast food all day broke him, as it did so many others.I wonder how Sealyboby sees folks he disagrees with. He seems to have the impression we are red clawed long toothed monsters looking only to destroy people, nature.... civilization in general. Not for any good end for ourselves, but just for personal amusement.
The decision to hire an employee or not depends on the marginal value the employee brings to the enterprise. A targeted tax break like the one he lauds here is not any better than a general tax break to the employer. The employer looks at how much comes in, vs how much goes out. 5000 to hire an employee might be a cool thing, but changing the tax code so that you can get a better break on equipment that might make the hiring of 5 employees worthwhile has to be passed on, as taxes have to be raised to pay for the targeted break. At best, it is a wash, but in likelyhood it is a huge net loss to other factors that might be more useful for employment in the longer run.
