Wouldn't that pretty much screw over what existing business there are? snoopcester Send a noteboard - 08/03/2010 10:47:20 PM
What companies there are with manufacturing facilities would be unable to compete as they pay corporation tax... and I'd guess that any company left with a decentish sized manufacturing facility would probably be a decent sized operation able to put pressure on the odd congressman or senator at least. Probably not an easy sell to left leaning Democrats nor to anyone from a state with manufacturing industries that would be screwed.

Not really. Tom - 08/03/2010 10:58:13 PM 193 Views
I don't think that deals with my objection. snoopcester - 08/03/2010 11:27:48 PM 188 Views
Sure it does. Expand or die is pretty much what it says. Your objections are noted, and ignored. Tom - 09/03/2010 12:43:53 AM 176 Views
"Expand or die" I like that Isaac - 09/03/2010 01:32:19 AM 183 Views
I'd be fine with corporations not paying taxes if they didn't have so many rights. Ghavrel - 12/03/2010 03:05:24 AM 152 Views
Noted and ignored rather than addressed? Punishing past success seems a strange idea though snoopcester - 09/03/2010 10:54:25 AM 165 Views
Wouldn't all the current manufacturing businesses just spin-off mini-factories? Aemon - 08/03/2010 10:54:32 PM 163 Views
No, it would have to be new NET jobs. Tom - 08/03/2010 10:59:24 PM 172 Views
uhm, not that you don't have a reasonable idea LadyLorraine - 08/03/2010 10:59:32 PM 195 Views
It's Obama's fault because he can't grasp how jobs are created. Tom - 09/03/2010 12:46:02 AM 169 Views
but does not Congress write/pass legislation? LadyLorraine - 09/03/2010 01:33:25 AM 161 Views
Let's not be naive. The President has the power to introduce and direct legislation. Tom - 09/03/2010 03:00:05 AM 154 Views
that's fair enough LadyLorraine - 09/03/2010 03:12:18 AM 159 Views
A good President gets rid of gridlock Tom - 09/03/2010 03:38:52 AM 150 Views
More government hoop-jumping is not a long-term solution to anything. LiterateDog - 08/03/2010 11:31:11 PM 188 Views
Ultimately, no corporate tax would be a good thing. Tom - 09/03/2010 12:47:34 AM 184 Views
That would have been my suggestion. LiterateDog - 09/03/2010 01:06:41 AM 168 Views
or we could just throw out most taxes all together LadyLorraine - 09/03/2010 01:36:02 AM 162 Views
That wouldn't actually raise that much money, even if they currently paid no taxes. LiterateDog - 09/03/2010 01:44:28 AM 169 Views
It's why the personal income tax is the primary source of government revenue. Tom - 09/03/2010 02:58:20 AM 181 Views
And that is what most economists prefer Roland00 - 09/03/2010 04:48:53 PM 159 Views
