Title: How do tax hikes help the economy grow and stabilize???
Post by: tonymctones on December 10, 2010, 10:52:43 AM
according to straw man this is the tenent behind his not extending tax cuts for the "rich" rhetoric and since he will not answer this question for himself(who knew, right?)

I figured Id open it up for others who believe this to be true to elaborate on.

So please if you feel the same way he does, explain...

The far left attributes the the boom during the 90's to th tax hike Clinton enacted, not the dot com revolution that Clinton had nothing to do with and thankfully did not scuttle.

another Q - how much have the cut taxes really helped shit in the last few years?  LOL

billionaires getting sweet rates have been moving jobs overseas.  some BS right there.

you keep/move jobs to USA, you deserve the break.  But if you lay off 5000 workers and move your firm to India, go screw yourself, you do'nt deserve a break.

Its very simple and I have laid it out DOZENS OF TIMES.  Its not just taxes, its also everything else that the far left and nanny staters have bogged down our economy with.

Admirable that you concede taxes are a PART of the problem.
A big part?  A small part?

Of course I agree with you that UE and welfare need slashed.

exactly anybody who thinks the sole reason businesses move their operations over seas is b/c of taxes is an idiot...there are so many different reasons that taxes are but one slice of the pie...

240 the tax rate in Singapore is I think capped out at 20 or 25% so even if we use your myopic view we would have to lower our rates below the rates of other countries in order to keep that business here....

you think the left is going to accept that?

Another question I would like to ask is how do tax hikes help revenues get up to 25% of GDP? That is where are spending is and revenues have never been that high.
