Why The Conservitave Platform Isn't Even Wrong

"if tax cuts for the wealthy and more money for the rich led to job creation, we would be drowning in jobs"

I swear I'll hate the fucking GOP until the day I'm rich! -bdr

and i hate how taxes stop businesses from growing, every time a business guy makes an extra 50g he also gets punched into a higher %tax range. so instead of opening another shop, he must pay higher taxes to the government... so that they can ummmm spend it wisely

taxes don't keep businesses from growing. that line of thinking is pure LOL and lets me know you have no idea how a business operates.

you know what my father in law, who owns several businesses, says about returning to clinton era tax levels? he says you'd have to be stupid to turn down an extra $100k because of $4k more taxes. and it's true.

businesses grow if there is demand for the product. the economy as a whole grows when aggregate demand increases. aggregate demand accounts for more than two thirds of our economy.

so when you put an effective tax raise on the middle class, the powerhouse behind aggregate demand, in order to give a tax break to a business that pays the lowest effective tax rate in the world, you are simply shipping money to the top, not growing business.

of course, if you bleat fox news talking points in super-simplified fashion like you do, this would never occur to you.

I agree, that's a big problem. I consider it less wise to give an already rich business subsidies than invest in a new technology.

It's amazing how few know the difference between an investment and a handout. NASA was an investment that is still paying big dividends to the private sector, nice to see how the repay the US taxpayers who made it. Moving everthing offshore?

With all due respect Bucky, it sounds like your father in-law is as ignorant as you when it comes to taxes.
Look at the figures he uses, an extra 100k in income only nets him $4k in more tax liability? Are you friggin serious, Hell, just a week ago you were trying to convince us all you were paying an effective rate of 25% on only $28k a year, now your father in-law tells you you'd pay 4% on an extra $100k, you're either the dumbest resident know it all on RIU, or a straight up liar.

Get your fact straight Bucky, a business owner with an average taxable income of $200,000 annually that makes an extra $100k the following year, his tax liability will go up approximately $25,000. That would make his effective rate on that extra income around 25%, the same effective rate you paid on 1/4 of the income. LOL

Only a retard would do a ten minute Wikipedia search on how to run a business, then turn around and give critique.
Before you tell another poster he has no idea how a business runs, you may want to know yourself.
