That wouldn't actually raise that much money, even if they currently paid no taxes. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 09/03/2010 01:44:28 AM
and just sales tax those darn kids and their little trust fund too *cackle*


However, trust income is already taxed at higher rate than the regular income tax.

The vast majority of wealth and income, because of our overwhelming numbers, lies with the middle class. That is where, in the end, politicians will always get the money for their schemes. They may foment against the rich, but the know where the money is to be found.

A simple proposal. Tom - 08/03/2010 10:26:32 PM 417 Views
Wouldn't that pretty much screw over what existing business there are? snoopcester - 08/03/2010 10:47:20 PM 187 Views
Not really. Tom - 08/03/2010 10:58:13 PM 191 Views
I don't think that deals with my objection. snoopcester - 08/03/2010 11:27:48 PM 186 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 181 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 162 Views
No, it would have to be new NET jobs. Tom - 08/03/2010 10:59:24 PM 170 Views
uhm, not that you don't have a reasonable idea LadyLorraine - 08/03/2010 10:59:32 PM 193 Views
It's Obama's fault because he can't grasp how jobs are created. Tom - 09/03/2010 12:46:02 AM 168 Views
but does not Congress write/pass legislation? LadyLorraine - 09/03/2010 01:33:25 AM 159 Views
Let's not be naive. The President has the power to introduce and direct legislation. Tom - 09/03/2010 03:00:05 AM 152 Views
that's fair enough LadyLorraine - 09/03/2010 03:12:18 AM 157 Views
A good President gets rid of gridlock Tom - 09/03/2010 03:38:52 AM 148 Views
More government hoop-jumping is not a long-term solution to anything. LiterateDog - 08/03/2010 11:31:11 PM 186 Views
Ultimately, no corporate tax would be a good thing. Tom - 09/03/2010 12:47:34 AM 182 Views
That would have been my suggestion. LiterateDog - 09/03/2010 01:06:41 AM 166 Views
or we could just throw out most taxes all together LadyLorraine - 09/03/2010 01:36:02 AM 160 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 180 Views
And that is what most economists prefer Roland00 - 09/03/2010 04:48:53 PM 157 Views
