As for taxes...I don't have the time to post specifics right now...but take some time and look up the income, sales, etc tax rates in other countries.....you'll find we rate average to low...
And just to clarify...I'm not advocating for large government...or that I want to pay any more in taxes than I already do...I'm just sayin'............ |
Many would argue, that this is the very reason we are the successful country we are in spite of our "problems" The biggest contributor to our companies leaving and our jobs getting outsourced is our ridiculously high corporate tax. In the Anheuser Bush deal, the difference in corporate tax gave the buying company over 25 million dollar advantage over AB. That was corporate tax alone....
low taxes = more consumer/business spending = more gov revenues. It's worked over and over again. The problem is when the gov gets that revenue they just out spend it instead of balancing the budget... Dorks.

Dammit Dragon,
Quit roping me into this conversation...
