We need government now more than ever

[Billy000]

1) Regulations do not inhibit job growth significantly.

Possibly the dumbest thing I have ever read on this forum ^^^ You liberal cowards just refuse to admit you are the freaking problem you and your stupid ass agenda and ideology. Thousands of pages of regulations and laws so damn convoluted you have to hire consultants to comply with the shit. Taxes so high that basically businesses have two choices, close the doors or ship the jobs overseas to stay in business. Its a death of a thousand cuts with you lib fanatics.

Does government regulation really kill jobs? Economists say overall effect is minimal.

"Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that very few layoffs are caused principally by tougher rules.

Whenever a firm lays off workers, the bureau asks executives the biggest reason for the job cuts.

In 2010, 0.3 percent of the people who lost their jobs in layoffs were let go because of “government regulations/intervention.” By comparison, 25 percent were laid off because of a drop in business demand."

Progressive taxation is the ONLY way to fix it.

. Progressive taxation is the ONLY way to fix it.

The needs to be some consideration for midmarket employers who want to pass a business down to the next generation. The progressive taxation you ask for has pretty much caused many family owned businesses to sell out to multinational corporations who in turn move the jobs to China.

Much of it due to an inheritance tax.

In a time when the odds are against the middle class and poor, we need GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS.

1) The wealth disparity in the US Is one of the widest in the world. The child poverty rate is the worst in the developed world.

2) Lower wage jobs greatly outnumber higher wage jobs. That means millions of people have NO CHOICE but to accept shitty paying jobs. We must raise the minimum wage to a reasonable level that republicans and democrats can compromise on. Corporate profits are at an all time high and wages have remained flat in the lower classes for decades. Do you really think the private market will raise wages on its own? Get real. Think of what higher wages would do to welfare statistics like food stamps or TANF.

3) The price of pharmaceuticals and healthcare in this country is insane. There MUST be caps in place to prices. Poor people (who again are very hard pressed to find higher wage jobs) cannot afford basic cancer treatment. More socialization in our healthcare system is the ONLY way to fix this problem.

4) Our infrasture system is crumbling. Progressive taxation is the ONLY way to fix it.

MOre triple fail from the Failmaster.
Government isnt the solution to our problem.
Government is the problem.

We already have the largest, most expensive government in the history of the world, not to mention more laws, regulations and "programs" than even the most imaginative gub'mint worshipper could ever dream of. Advocating more government to solve these problems is like suggesting curing lung cancer by smoking more cigarettes.

Billy's a typical pinhead lib... they see failure and demand more of it.

You moron, government is the problem, not the solution. Let me count the ways that government fucks up our economy and YOUR paycheck:

1. Compliance costs incurred by business so they do not run afoul of government regulations, thereby increasing the costs of good and services to offset these costs.

2. Keeping the interest rates too low, thereby keeping the value of our currency too low.

3. Deficit spending rather than balancing the budget, causing the value of the dollar to stagnate and necessitating a heavy tax burden.

4. Over spending.

5. Failing to cut the capital gains tax rate so as to encourage asset trading, thereby increasing financial transactions that will provide capital to business and increase the number of taxing events, which will increase tax revenues. The capital gains rate should never be more than 10%.

6. Fostering this whole class warfare sentiment that pits the population against business interests.

7. Allowing China and any other country to manipulate their currencies to cause a devaluation of our currency in the global market. We should sanction the hell out of China.

8. Allowing people to swarm across the border to compete with YOU in the labor market, thereby keeping wages low.

9. They keep increasing the marginal rates for income taxes. Nobody with money can save or invest because the tax burden is eating up disposable income that could be reinvested into our economy instead of being pissed away by the federal government.

10. Pissing away our tax money on shit sorry "investments" like solar energy.

Those are just 10 ways the government screws with YOUR earnings. Yet, you want MORE government involvement in our lives?!? You are crazy!

WITHOUT FALSE PREMISES, DISTORTIONS AND LIES, WHAT WOULD THE RIGHT WING EVER HAVE?

Warren Buffett: ‘It Is A Myth’ That U.S. Corporate Taxes Are High


Buffett, in response to Santorum’s piece, noted that is is actually “a myth” that America’s corporate taxes are high. “Corporate taxes are not strangling American competitiveness,” Buffett explained, even bringing a chart to prove his point:

The interesting thing about the corporate rate is that corporate profits, as a percentage of GDP last year were the highest or just about the highest in the last 50 years. They were ten and a fraction percent of GDP. That’s higher than we’ve seen in 50 years. The corporate taxes as a percentage of GDP were 1.2 percent, $180 billion. That’s just about the lowest we’ve seen. So our corporate tax rate last year, effectively, in terms of taxes paid for the United States, was around 12 percent, which is well below those existing in most of the industrialized countries around the world. So it is a myth that American corporations are paying 35 percent or anything like it…Corporate taxes are not strangling American competitiveness.

"Trickle down economics"?

You mean keeping the money that you earned rather than giving it to some stupid corrupt official, elected by special interest groups, to spend it for you on wasteful, corrupt, inefficient, and unnecessary government?

Great idea to give the money you earn to somebody else to spend for you, dumbass
