It’s Very Simple, States Should Cut Taxes To Boost Economic Growth
American Legislator ^ | 11-25-13 | Ben Wilterdink

Posted on 11/25/2013 1:08:21 PM PST by ThethoughtsofGreg

There was a strong trend of states cutting taxes this year, with 18 states passing significant tax cuts into law during the 2013 legislative session. With one-third of the United States cutting taxes, it is clear economic growth has become a top priority for states that want to dig out of the dismal economy that followed the recession.

The 2013 tax cuts range from a nearly complete overhaul of a state’s tax code to a few small changes. The year’s biggest tax cut was enacted in North Carolina as part of a comprehensive tax reform package. Ohio also passed major tax relief this year, and the final deal gave Ohio room to claim the biggest year-to-year tax cut enacted in 2013. In the wake of the major tax cuts made this year, three distinct trends can be identified:

People are moving to lower-tax states

Some states choose to fill budget shortfalls by increasing economic growth and expanding the total tax base. Rather than driving up rates on a small number of overburdened taxpayers, these states create an environment where people and businesses can flourish.

Your personal experiences with high school electives really are irrelevant.

Are the personal experiences of everyone that supports homeschooling irrelevant?The SAT and ACT are private.

Administered by public institutions.

Why are you making this personal? Are you are government teacher?

Do you consider WestPoint a "government school"

Are you a liberal Marxist?

Now who is making it personal? I simply made an innocuous statement.

This a debating technique see often on Free Republic used by these two groups.

Interesting observation, given your questions.

You are now on my mental snooze list.

I have concluded that you are not discussing this topic in a spirt of goodwill.

Which is better? High school shop electives or actually having a few years being **paid** real money to work in a real shop, a real business, with skilled workers who have real work experience? If given the opportunity ( which they are forbidden now) many teens would find the real world shop experience a good choice.

I can't think of to many businesses that would bring someone on with no experience. When I was administering military contract all of the shops I went to wanted people that had at least minimal training before letting someone operate a Lathe, Milling Machine, etc....

Is it wise to let someone be an accountant that has never seen a spread sheet?

How much would it cost a company to train someone from scratch?

Everyone requires at least some minimum prior training.

That would be you that is trying to stop discussion. BTW you spelled "spirit" incorrectly.

All of a sudden you are promoting the EXACT same thing I was advocating last year. I suppose it is better to be late to the party than never arrive at all.

You are on my permanent snooze list. Personally, I consider these continuing posts to me to be stalking and bullying.

I agree. Posts made to me that are mean or not in agreement
I also consider to be stalking and bullying and they should all stop.

I'm a victim too and demand that considerations be made.

Everybody listen up! Don't post to me unless you are nice and agree with whatever I say.

We'll show 'em, wintertime! You betcha.

HG I agree with you completely 100%. If we are not all in lock-step agreement we might end-up like those revolutionary radicals, Washington, Jefferson, Madison.

What might happen if people are allowed to express an opinion that varies in the slightest from our great and powerful leader, Chaos I tell you Chaos!

How do you know or dictate what "others" may conclude?
