Yet ANOTHER progressive LIE

[P@triot]

Progressives masters are all over the media declaring that taxes have no negative impact on business, individuals, society, etc. Likewise, the progressive minions are all over message boards like this one parroting that exact same ignorant false narrative.

And yet...every single time progressives want to prevent something, block something, change something, or otherwise influence behavior - what do they do? They place a tax on it and proudly declare the impact the tax will have on forcing the behavior and results they are looking to achieve.

Wait...what?!? Their official false narrative is that increased taxes have no affect on commerce, employment, etc. In their infinite ignorance - they aren't even bright enough to realize they are proving to the world that they are lying:

Next month, San Francisco, Oakland, and Albany, California and Boulder, Colorado will vote on whether to place a tax on sugary drinks, such as a penny-per-ounce levy on soft drinks, sports drinks, iced tea, juice, energy drinks, and syrups and powders that can be made into beverages.

“Health advocates argue that raising the price on beverages sweetened with sugar will reduce consumption and ease the nation’s exploding rates of obesity and diabetes,” the report states. “The soda industry maintains there’s no proof of that.”

Hahahahahaha! Another progressive lie. Even the most radical left-wing lying propaganda machine of the Dumbocrat Party - MSNBC - must finally admit what a catastrophic failure Obamacare has been:

Well look at all of these progressive cities voting on whether or not to place a tax on something in order to discourage it. Wait....what? I thought the official progressive party line was that taxes do not negatively impact whatever is taxed? So then why would progressives advocating taxing these things that they want to discourage?!?

Even the EPA was finally forced to admit that fracking is completely safe (and because progressives live to rewrite history - it is important to note that this was the EPA under the control of Barack Obama).

Just think of the jobs, tax revenues, affordable energy, and wealth that could have been created over the past 8 years, during which Obama and the Dumbocrats obstructed progress out of their greed to grow the green energy sector that they are so heavily invested in.

All progressives can do is lie. Their Agenda is to bring an end to capitalism, and destroy white Christian culture. If people knew what their real intentions were, they would never win an election.

Stuff like this illustrates the extraordinary ignorance of the left. Their greed blinds them to basic economics, basic business, and basic common sense.

After a lengthy inquiry, the committee found that the company had avoided tens of billions of dollars in taxes by shifting profits into Irish subsidiaries that the panel’s chairman called “ghost companies.”

If the U.S. had the lowest corporate tax rate in the world, guess where every company in the U.S. (and most around the globe) would stash their cash? If you’re not a progressive - you guessed it. In the U.S. Instead of “losing” billions in taxes (as progressives see it), we would be gaining trillions in taxes. Consider the following:

Apple has accumulated more than $128 billion in profits offshore, and probably much more, that is untaxed by the United States and hardly touched by any other country. Nearly all of that was made over the past decade.

If we had even a 10% tax rate, Apple would have gladly brought that money home and we would have generated $12.8 billion in additional tax revenues.

Instead of losing tens of billions in taxes from Apple (as they stashed their cash overseas to avoid the highest corporate tax rates in the world), we could have gained more than twelve billion just from them. Lower tax rates would result in exponentially higher tax revenues to the government. But the left is just too greedy (and stupid) to understand that.

More proof that progressives knowingly lie about the negative impact taxes have on products and services...

Despite the steep new prices, Costco was there to remind customers who live in the Seattle city limits that the tax doesn’t apply to its nearby locations outside the city.

It isn’t such a shame that half of the left is so profoundly ignorant of basic economics and the other half is so unethical and devious that the egregiously lie about economics so that they can mooch off of society.

One would have expected gross revenue to plummet in February once the new tax rates were applied to withholdings for this year. My withholdings dropped already for the last two weeks in January but by February everyone should have seen the effects of the tax cut and revenue to the Treasury should have shrunk noticeably. After all, on some measure this was the largest tax cut in history. Yet compared with February 2017, gross revenue was nearly unchanged. It actually ticked up very slightly by $1.36 billion.

Conservatives have known this for decades and decades. It’s just basic math and it indisputably proves the Laffer Curve. Revenues to the government went up after the tax cuts (because more people were employed in a better economy thanks to the tax cuts, which provides the government with a significantly large pool of people to tax). Which in turn, proves that we unquestionably have a spending problem and not a revenue problem.

How about that? Revenue stays the same after massive tax cut

I’m confused progressives...you people have been adamant that taxes have absolutely no impact on businesses. That corporations don’t expand or locate based on taxes.

Amazon announced Tuesday it’s splitting its second headquarters between Long Island City, New York, and Arlington, Virginia, and the corporation will receive tax incentive packages worth more than $2 billion to build in both locations.

And yet here is the ultimate progressive corporation - lead by the ultimate left-wing lunatic - specifically locating to state’s granting them special tax breaks. Mind you, these are very progressive states who perpetuate the left-wing false narrative about taxes. And mind you, this is after Amazon stop construction in Seattle after the idiot left-wing city council passed a resolution to hit Amazon with even higher taxes than they previously had.

The entire left-wing narrative on taxes obliterated in one neat little story. It perfectly illustrates the difference between conservatives (who embrace reality) and progressives (who embrace blind ideology).

Sounds like the liberal solution to tax the rich....if you can afford this drink, you must be rich.

I got interested in Soros about 1 year ago and I will say it is hard sorting out the truth from the false. Sometimes the false has more truth than the facts. He has 100s of Foundations that he runs or give large amount of money to. The Democrts are one of the groups. This guy is pure evil to this Nations security. Needs jail time not fines.

Yet another example of the left caught in their lies about taxes. If lower taxes doesn't create jobs and generate tax revenue for government, why did devout communist Bill de Blasio give Amazon an exclusive, sweetheart tax deal to bring Amazon to New York? Oops.

“Walmart does not belong in New York City,” de Blasio declares, while defending the city’s generous tax breaks for Amazon.

And yet the left-wing minions are still dumb enough to believe every false narrative their masters have told them about taxes.
