Trump falsely states USA is the most highly taxed nation in the world

[EdwardBaiamonte]

You don't understand the Founders very well at all Bubs, they DID believe in taxing the rich

dumbto3=100% lying stupid liberal fool. In the beginning there was no direct Fed tax on the individual because it was thought to give the Feds too much power and control. So, there was an excise tax only so that you could avoid the tax altogether by just not buying the taxed items.

That is 1000 times different from today where Marxist class warfare liberals teach the rich got that way by stealing from the poor.

Are you folks aware that Walgreens inverted a few months ago?

Last year they raised a big stink about companies ducking U.S. taxes and Walgreens said they " wouldn't do that ... for now " and everybody went to the bar and forgot about them.

All the protests went away.

Business as usual.

And then Walgreens fucked the United States of America and inverted and ducked American taxes.

==============

Maybe he meant corporate taxes...

From the article...
America has the highest corporate tax rate in the world among major economies. Its top rate of 40% has encouraged a number of companies to “invert.” In an inversion, a U.S. company buys a foreign subsidiary and moves its headquarters (on paper, at least) to that country to enjoy a lower tax rate—a practice that Fortune has called positively un-American.

If not the highest we are at the top...

Walgreens did what they were supposed to do, i.e., make money for their owners and customers, not for liberal bureaucrats to waste!! Would anyone invest in a company that tried to pay the highest tax possible in order to support the crippling welfare nanny state.

[Jeffersonian libertarianism] is a doctrine that owes its visibility to the obvious charms it holds for the wealthy and the powerful.

dumbto3 is back being dumber than ever!!!! The 700 million that China just pulled out of poverty with capitalism were not wealthy and powerful!!!

See why we have to be 100% positive that liberalism is based in pure ignorance? Is any other conclusion possible???

Weird, you put up a quote supposedly of what I said, and then spout nonsense? Oh right your Ed the talking douche

When the United States became independent from Britain it also rebelled against the British System of economics, characterized by Adam Smith, in favor of the American School based on protectionism and infrastructure and prospered under this system for almost 200 years to become the wealthiest nation in the world. Unrestrained free trade resurfaced in the early 1900s culminating in the Great Depression and again in the 1970s culminating in the current Economic Meltdown.

Closely related to [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercantilism']mercantilism, it can be seen as contrary to classical economics. It consisted of these three core policies:

1. protecting industry through selective high tariffs (especially 1861–1932) and through subsidies (especially 1932–70)
2. government investments in infrastructure creating targeted internal improvements (especially in transportation)
3. a national bank with policies that promote the growth of productive enterprises rather than speculation

It is a capitalist economic school based on the Hamiltonian economic program. The American School of capitalism was intended to allow the United States to become economically independent and nationally self-sufficient.




Frank Bourgin's 1989 study of the Constitutional Convention shows that direct government involvement in the economy was intended by the Founders.



The goal, most forcefully articulated by Hamilton, was to ensure that dearly won political independence was not lost by being economically and financially dependent on the powers and princes of Europe. The creation of a strong central government able to promote science, invention, industry and commerce, was seen as an essential means of promoting the general welfare and making the economy of the United States strong enough for them to determine their own destiny.

Don't understand who the rich were AND who paid those taxes huh? I'm not surprised dummy

 

[SwimExpert]

Politifact says we are in the middle of the pack.Trump is dumb. Donald Trump says U.S. is 'most highly taxed nation in the world'

The United States is the most over-taxed nation in the world. Other countries get taxed more than we do, but at least they get something for it. We pay nearly as much, and they still can't even through in a bag of peanuts.

   • protecting industry through selective high tariffsia

2. !00% stupid and liberal. We have been moving steadily toward free trade because because most economists now agree that protecting and crippling industries is obviously not a good thing. Second rate products make a second rate country with a second rate military industry.

4. A child can grasp the concept just not a liberal.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

The goal, most forcefully articulated by Hamilton,

Hamilton was a Federalist, Jefferson formed the Republican party in 1793 to defeat the federalist ideas and they were never heard from in America again until the lib marxist influence.

Thanks, you agree, the few times we went more towards Adam Smith's "free market" BS, Harding/Coolidges great depression, Ronnie's S&L and Dubya subprime, the "invisible hand" screwed US!

market" BS, Harding/Coolidges great depression,

100% stupid as always!! Great Depression and recent housing bust were caused by massive liberal interference. Bernanke learned this from Friedman and used that wisdom to prevent recent housing bust from becoming another depression.

As a typical liberal you are far too illiterate to understand any of the above. Now time for you to try to change the subject so nobody will see how stupid you are!!

Q When did the Bush Mortgage Bubble start?

A The general timeframe is it started late 2004.

From Bush’s President’s Working Group on Financial Markets October 2008

“The Presidents Working Group’s March policy statement acknowledged that turmoil in financial markets clearly was triggered by a dramatic weakening of underwriting standards for U.S. subprime mortgages, beginning in late 2004 and extending into 2007.”


Another form of easing facilitated the rapid rise of mortgages that didn't require borrowers to fully document their incomes. In 2006, these low- or no-doc loans comprised 81 percent of near-prime, 55 percent of jumbo, 50 percent of subprime and 36 percent of prime securitized mortgages."

Q HOLY JESUS! DID YOU JUST PROVE THAT OVER 50 % OF ALL MORTGAGES IN 2006 DIDN'T REQUIRE BORROWERS TO DOCUMENT THEIR INCOME?!?!?!?

A Yes.




Q WHO THE HELL LOANS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO PEOPLE WITHOUT CHECKING THEIR INCOMES?!?!?

A Banks.

Q WHY??!?!!!?!

A Two reasons, greed and Bush's regulators let them



FACTS on Dubya's great recession | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

 

[sakinago]

But I just can't figure out why companies want to move out of the us, to conduct business elsewhere? We need to start forcing them to stay in the us right?

REALLY? You mean you can't THINK and realize since "free trade" has allowed them to chase lower labor costs, creating my wealth for the "job creators" AND the tax "burden has been DRAMATICALLY dropped for them, THAT MIGHT have something to do with it?



NOTE ANYTHING HERE?

So force them to stay in the country right?

Or we could elect guys who BELIEVE IN Gov't AND their policies that CAN make US great again, unlike EVERY CONservative/GOPer for 30+ years? You know since the wealth IS already in America, we could have laws that benefit SOCIETY as a whole AGAIN? Over the plutocrat class?

How about people who believe that goverments only role should be to empower the individual and protect from threats foreign and domestic. Not empower those who line their pockets and get them elected. You want to speak of robber Barron's like that's unfettered capitalism at work, but forget they used and influenced power quite frequently, pretty much wrote the book on it.

Myths and fairy tales Bubs, ONE nation to EVER use that Randian BS? EVER? lol


Unfettered capitalism ends ONE way, just like the game monopoly!

Oh does it, walk me through that, when that happens without help from the govt.

Gov't doesn't allow unfettered capitalism which like Communism and libertarianism is a failure!


Neo-Liberalism/Conservatives is/has destroyed the American Economy in favor of the so called "Job Creator"... In reality are "Job Exporters"...

I would love to see a 90% tax on any individual making a$100,000,000 dollars or more a year. I'm not anti rich but I am anti money hoarding, tax dodging, and legislative manipulating country destroying fool. Pay your fair share!
