thanks for typing out what i would of said but didnt feel like doing.
Capitalism at its finest hour.
Not only all that shit, the law itself as it is written is flawed. Taxes on business are based on the amount sold, not the net profit.
easier to explain if i put it in an example; if a business is selling lemonade at $5 a glass and they sell 25 glasses the income is $100, but it cost the company a dollar to make each glass so net profit is $75 yet the government still taxes as if the company made $100.
tell me that makes sense and is logical.
You are so frigging ignorant. The environmentalists killed fishing and logging?? salmon runs are in the crapper because billionaires are taking subsidies on water and farming. Average farmers pay like 10 times as much as big ag, and big ag then RESELLS the water! Logging? Timber companies had japan mill their timber, causing unemployment. Then decimated their own land with clear cutting. Have you seen what forests look like in or and wa??
You might be right that 66 and 67 are bad for business, but your views on fishing/forestry and logging make you look like a idiot!
It is true that throwing money at the problem does not AUTOMATICALLY solve the problem, but if say schools could actually have smaller class sizes, more class time etc, it would diffenitely help.
I think the issue is not whether having %x more money will help, but whether more money will actually be gathered. If the government took %100 of what everyone made, instead of say %25, would they gather more money? Obviously people would say screw that, I am not working just to give it all away
The argument that the top %3 are paying most of the taxes is bull**** anyways. Like I just posted, take someone who makes a billion dollars versus someone who only makes $10,000, tax them the same percentage, which is regressive and penalizing to the poor person, and the person making a billion dollars will constitute over %99 of the amount taxed.
The one valid point the person who brought up that bull**** argument made is if you raise taxes by say double, it does not mean you will get double the revenue. The more people are taxed, the less they will work, or they will move.
