Ask Mexico if it works. Ask China if it works. Ask the economists at the St. Louis Fed if it works:
We find that states with greater economic freedom – defined as the protection of private property and private markets operating with minimal government interference – experienced greater rates of employment growth. In addition, we find that less restrictive state and national government labor market policies have the greatest impact on employment growth in U.S. states.
Further results suggest that labor market freedom and a smaller state government, which are two components of overall economic freedom, are important determinants of employment growth across U.S. states, with the former factor the more important”
Yes Mexican workers are paid about 1/4 of our workers, but our workers are about 300% as productive. Raising Mexican wages 40%, not the 100%+ that the $15 an hour people want here, would mean our workers have a better value than Mexican workers.Comment -
Very true-wife is a hotty
I watched that video and heard what Warren said and I can't believe how much she has lost her mind in the last couple of years.
Reagan had a bad economy?

I can tell you don't understand economics. china has to artificially buy their own products so they don't implode. Mexico wtf . I 'm mexican and that is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Josh lay off the drugs and get an education.Comment -
darrell if it wasn't for social security surplus paying for all the govt spending in the economy. In his autobiography Ron Reagan couldn't understand why trickle down economics. To put it in 5th grade language for you. If you bring in 1500 thru work but you spend 2000 a month. You better have a big bank account to keep living.While johnson brought s.s. into the budget. Reagan raised it to 12.5 from 2.8 %. Also he started taxing s.s. If you take out the s.s. money brought in reagans budget went at a deficit.Comment -
Here we go. Repubs are already sticking the working man in the back. House bill wants employers to give time
off in exchange for overtime pay.
Anyone who voluntarily works overtime isn't for the days off, it's for money! Dumb fuks!Comment -
I've worked for a huge investment management company for 15 years and while Trump helps us as a business I'll tell you the truth - helping rich people hurts the economy. Yes helping small businesses is huge and it important to keep their taxes low but rich individuals never really pay taxes anyway. They open shell accounts at the end of years and move money around to avoid taxes. And their investment are a lot of times in emerging markets or china, that doesn't help the US. Poor people spend every dollar they earn in the US. Helps the economy tremendously. It's bad for them because they never save but still it stimulates businesses. Now people hate giving poor people handouts, so what is the alternative? Find the ones abusing the system? How do you do that? You would have to hire more workers to check in on individual cases and to pay them raise taxes. Trump is like every other idiot I see. He gives easy answers with no specifics on how to fix problems.Comment -
That's a great post.
What todays libs do not realize is large tax cuts was originally the idea of the greatest democrat of all; John F Kennedy. Reagan's tax cut that led to the greatest economic expansion in US history came from Kennedy.
But todays libs like kelly and chico are no where close to guys like John F Kennedy. Kennedy and later Reagan knew massive tax cuts would lead to great economic expansion, and did. Great economic growth benefits everyone especially the unemployed and under employed. Libs today do not care about the under employed. They are a nuisance and deplorable and that's one reason they keep losing.Comment -
[quote=chico2663;26940184]I understand it fine, it's you that doesn't get it. Every country buys some of their own products. At the end of the day, business is leaving America due to it being too expensive to make a profit compared to other countries. All supply side will do is lower costs here and allow us to undercut other countries.Comment -
I never said only conservatives are working, but when it comes to wanting free stuff like health care and college tuition, it's liberals that are demanding that stuff. Lowering taxes and cutting spending will make it harder for liberals to get what they want, which is free stuff.Comment -
far left or far right people seem to the be most unreasonable and selectively take things literally depending on whether it suites their committed life-long political narrative or not. Not mentioning any names of course.

GOP only wants to save money by cutting things that help people.
When it comes to destroying the environment and dropping bombs,
they suddenly have no spending or income concerns.
I don't vote Democrat either, because they don't fix anything
and keep the bad system going, and push obscene agendas.
They both suck and are embarassing to any normal person capable
of intelligent thought.Last edited by Snowball; 05-03-17, 01:52 PM.Comment -

I seem to remember Obama drop bombs daily. Was there a point?
The governments number 1 job is to protect us. We didn't even have an income tax or free giveaway programs for the first 150 years. They could do away with all the giveaways and just worry about defense, like what made us a great country to begin with.
The US now has multiple generations of families that have never worked. Not a single family member, ever. Redistribution is the cause. The government should do what it can to make the country as a whole more prosperous instead of taking from those who work and giving it to those who just game the system.Comment -
josh what do you do for a living? We spend more money on corporate welfare than we even think of giving to the poor. I was a partner in a business that was billing 3 million now it is up to 5 million. I built 3 agencies up to 15 million a year, In other words I have real world experience. Not like you boy bacon who works at the local factory. Not like brooks who thinks as a business owner that you can get workers comp insurance in 24 hrs.Comment -
I appreciate both sides of this one. (my 2 cents lol)
I understand Crony Capitalism. I think GE even escaped without paying any taxes a couple of years ago.
However, something about ERD cards (I think that's what they're called in some states) ending up at casinos, liquor stores and strip joints rubs me the wrong way.
A safety net for those who deserve it is, IMHO, not an unworthy cause. Only thing is, IMO, those who deserve it are about 5% of those who get it.Comment -
IDK, do you know?
How many conservatives do you know who are gaming the system?
You know as well as I, companies don't leave because taxes are high, it's wages and benefits.
Our sec of labor thinks the min wage is too high, as you do.
Why not move overseas and pay a fraction of the labor costs, bring in your goods with no duty and quadruple
your profits? Just have a little 350 sq ft office here and reap the profits.
I hope your boy puts a stop to that, but I doubt it, because he's one of them. Fox watching the hen house.Comment -
"The “nation-state" as a fundamental unit of man’s organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state.” ~ Zbigniew Brzezinski, Between Two Ages, 1970Comment -

All this talk about the poor killing us yet it is the trump red states that kill the country and of course the most poor and the most handouts.

I'm against all corporate welfare. I would like to see corporate welfare ended and the corporate tax go to 0%. All it does is transfer money from profitable companies to their less profitable competition. You expect me to believe you never found ways to cut costs when you were building those businesses? Even if it meant relocating?
Yeah, the dems front runners were people that were running on a platform of free stuff.

Companies leave because of costs being too high. Taxes, wages, and benefits are all costs. It is possible for a country (USA) to have higher wages and benefits than another (N. Korea), but not go to that country due to higher taxes (100%) and 0 property rights.
Moving overseas has costs, shipping around the world has costs, American workers are much more productive than Chinese workers.
It's funny, in Connecticut they decided to make the rich pay their fair share, hiked their taxes twice since 2011, and they've seen deficits blow up as the wealthy simply moved to a lower tax state. That is the idea we all agree with, people will put money is places where they will get more of it.
My boy was Gary Johnson.Last edited by guitarjosh; 05-04-17, 03:01 AM.Comment
