Unfortunately for us common folks here in the U.S. our political leaders and their bureaucrats from the left run our businesses offshore through taxation policies and crazier and crazier regulations. Trust me when the countries these companies go to get around to more taxes and regulations and we get smart enough to relax ours they will be back.

 

Oh for shit's sake. What a load of bull shit!

 

Do you even think about what you write? How many "rich" are there? How many lower and middle class are there?

 

According to the Economic Policy Institute, in the United States the effective tax rate on capital income is 30%. That is nearly as low as it has been since 1947.

Corporate after tax profits as a percentage of national income is 11.4%. That is as high as it has been since 1947.

American Companies are moving jobs to low wage, low tax countries, not because they have to, but because lax American laws allow them to.

 

Bull manure is worth more than what the Republican Party has to offer Americans who are not rich.

 

In 2006, there were approximately 116,011,000 households in the United States. The percent of all households with annual incomes exceeding $250,000 was 1.93% .[21] About 12.3% fell below the federal poverty threshold[22] and the bottom 20% earned less than $19,178.[23] The aggregate income distribution is highly concentrated towards the top, with the top 6.37% earning roughly one third of all income

That my friend is pure unadulterated bullshit. The Republican Party has much to offer the American people. They might not meet your criteria for political ideology, but you are not representative of the American cross section, by a mile.

You keep suffering from the delusion that you are main-stream, you are an enigma politically. You use liberal talking points, heavy to the leftist-socialist side, while you hold onto discriminatory racial beliefs, which are usually attributed to the far right social conservative.

The American electorate is far more neutral politically, they tend to follow those who offer the most in matching their ideology, you couldn't be elected as dog catcher in Peoria.

 

My arguments are fact based and logical. Yours are full of emotion and insults, but that is about it.

President Obama is a moderate liberal Democrat. His health care plan is similar to the one Mitt Romney introduced in Massachusetts, and which has been popular there. Republicans pander to demented suspicions about where Obama was born and what he believes because they have nothing to offer the economy but more tax cuts for the rather small minority of Americans who have been doing very well since the inauguration of Ronald Reagan.

While tax cuts are the Republican panacea, Republicans have the nerve to complain about the deficit.

 

And that is a typical response from you.

 

Government spending and employment paid for with a 94% top tax rate got us out of the Depression.

 

Tell me how it is untrue. Your brand of political ideology has been soundly defeated time and time again.

 

You are incorrigible. Not to mention being crazy as an outhouse bat.

 

D.L. ...So your idea is to penalize the very people that really work hard and take a gigantic RISK to leave the warm womb of a 9 to 5 cushy existence to start a business? The great thing about our capitalistic system is ANYBODY who is willing to take the risk and work hard and intelligently, can be successful. You want to treat people unfairly, I ask you right now, is it right to discriminate? You want to drive everybody that is successful out of the country. You guys have already driven most of our huge employers out of the country. You guys keep on discriminating against the successful entrepreneurs and run them out and your tax base will shrink so much it will put a end to every liberal program. The question I always ask myself, is why are liberals so hell bent on cutting off their arms and legs? Do you think for one minute the government could run a successful business? So far in my lifetime any country that tried it has been a failure. Tell me, I beg you, why in the hell do you want this country to fail? What is in it for you? ??? I have a better idea, take a chance, sell everything you own, borrow money if you don't have enough and buy a one ton van, equip it with dog bathing equipment. Take it to a sign painting shop, have your business info painted along with a eye catching theme and become a mobile dog groomer. There is big bucks in that. It takes very little training. Bust your ass, treat your customers better than you treat yourself. When you have so much business, you can't handle it all, buy another van, hire a good conscientious employee and keep on busting your ass. Eventually if your business becomes successful enough you might want to consider selling franchises. Then if you get some free time you can go on the internet and encourage the government to regulate your business and encourage the government to treat you unfairly.

 

That sort of invective is only impressive to those who are not only of your persuasion, but who are lacking in general knowledge. I am confident that well educated conservatives find that is as embarrassing as I find it irritating.

 

Nice try in deflecting the truth, it isn't going to work this time either.

 

I have demonstrated on several occasions, documenting my assertions, that most Americans have benefited economically when the rich were heavily taxed.

 

I give up, you just can't reason with a "crazy outhouse bat".

 

Hey D.L. I'm serious about the mobile dog grooming business. It would get you out of the "bad' crime infested neighborhood. You really should consider it.

 

It is tiresome to have to keep posting the same facts, but someone has to do it.

Franklin Roosevelt was first elected in 1932. That year the unemployment rate was 23.6%, the top tax rate was 63%. (It had been 25% the year before.) The per capita gross domestic product in 1996 dollars was $4,901.

In 1944 President Roosevelt was reelected a third time. The unemployment rate was 1.2%, the top tax rate was 94%, the per capita gross domestic product in 1996 dollars was $12,380.

The United States taxed and spent its way out of the Great Depression.

Your only response to facts like these are cliches and insults.

 

What did I say that is not true?
