Why don't you want to tax the rich?

Supporting Israel = not being for cuts?

The correlation is that the more Pro Israel the "Republican," the more big government big spending it votes for. W and Huck led the way there. But it is across the board. All of the big spending big government RINOs are also the most Pro Israel. The pre 1998 GOP which actually was fiscally conservative was not all bought and paid for by AIPAC. The current crew is, and the reason they keep winning is because the Fox News IQ<5 Pro Israel Christians keep voting for them. That's the biggest problem of all. America needs a fiscally conservative GOP. It hasn't had that since Fox News and W chased out the fiscal conservatives and brought in the Pro Israel RINOs. That's the reason the Federal Debt is up 7 fold. To be dumb enough to be a Pro Israel Christian requires a state of total math invalidity.

When will this happen?

it is happening right now

The free market determines the price a corporation can charge for goods and services

Corporations benefit from what we provide for education, infrastructure, defense….much more than the working poor

you are wrong as usual. we are talking about products where there is competition. we are talking about the tax code, written mostly be dems to protect their rich donors. no one expects you to understand, your indoctrination is complete, you are a dumb tool of your left wing masters.

Sorry Skippy but the free market will determine what you can charge for a product

You must constantly adapt to increases in labor, supplies and even taxes

Hard to tell exactly when tariffs were enacted, some got delayed, others got changed or went away while others went up. And the overall tariff revenue was expected by some to reach as much as $500 billion/year, but actually was quite a bit less than that. Somewhere in the range of $160-190 billion I think. Which is chicken scratch in our economy and really doesn't move the needle much. However, prices are going up for some things and tariffs is a reason for that, and by definition higher prices for the same thing is inflationary. I do not believe however that overall inflation is down since tariffs were enacted, some things yes but other things not. And there are other factors involved in inflation besides tariffs.

The rate of inflation is slowing. Tariffs have little effect on prices in general because consumers will refuse to buy causing supply to increase dropping prices

 

[Redfish]

Because you can’t get blood from a stone.
The working poor are struggling just to support their families. Why put an additional tax burden on them?

Why not tax where the money is?

should the poor also get free admission to sports venues and free food at restaurants? where does this shit end?

true, but tariffs only increase the prices of foreign goods, there are no tariffs on domestic goods.

you are only marginally correct, yes, supply and demand do impact prices. why does gold cost more that dirt, because there is only a limited supply of it.
But, gold from foreign countries now costs more than gold from the USA due to tariffs, and that's the whole point, incentivize people to buy american. why do you libs have such a hard time understanding that? oh, think I know, because you hate the USA

 

[Mac1958]

Either/or isn't going to cut it.

It's not making government more efficient or increasing personal income taxes on the top end.

It's both. Or we're just not serious.

[Redfish]

for the record, corporations do not pay taxes, the consumers that buy their products pay the taxes in the prices they pay. libs think that corporations should pay taxes out of profit. but it doesn't work that way.

The auto industry had socialism involved in its peak. When the gas crisis hit, Japan cleaned up. Their vehicles were found to be magnificent as ours were deficient. We could not compete. Even building smaller cars we were hamstrung from unions that cost a lot compared to Japan and our vehicles were inferior due to it. Chevy Vega, For Pinto, Chevy Chevette and Chevy Citation just to start. AMC cut their huge cars in half and put them on the road. AMC went out of business soon after. Citation was supposed to be the vehicle to put Japan in its place. Even with larger cars, this was the time for Detroit to improve those vehicles. They did not.

so you would let Israel be destroyed and taken over by the muslims?

Taxes are paid from profits. Losses are not taxed.

Thats not socialism thats the free market increasing demand

no they are not, accounting 101. taxes, per the tax code, are a cost of doing business and are included in the prices charged for the product.

 

[Dorian Mode]

If the left want more taxation to pay for their free stuff, I suggest shutting down all the waste, fraud and abuse that goes on with the democrap party. That will free up trillions. What I really think the left wants is for the billionaires to fund even more of the waste, fraud and abuse that always seems to follow the democrap party around. The democrap party and its voters are just one big organized crime syndicate.

 

[LibertyKid]

no they are not, accounting 101. taxes, per the tax code, are a cost of doing business and are included in the prices charged for the product.

Businesses, in general, pay no taxes for raw materials used for the production of a product. However, if that business sells to the end user, taxes are charged to the buyer of the good/service.
Even if the business sells to a distributor or wholesaler, taxes are not charged. The consumer is the one that pays the 'sales' tax. Raw material cost can be deducted at the end of the year.

Use taxes can be charged to a business for consumables or products that are used in the production of the product, so those consumables are probably added to the cost of product. But this can vary from state to state.

 

[Mashmont]

If you are opposed, why?

Why do you oppose aggressive taxation of people making more than $250,000+ a year or $400,000+ a year annually?

A few years ago, my daughter was sharing a house with four other girls. One moved out, so the remaining residences were going to have to cover the rent for her spot. My daughter was the only one of the four without a student loan, so the other three decided my daughter should foot the extra rent bill because she was without the student loan burden.

This is how leftwingers do things. My daughter stood firm and refused to go along.
