I agree we need to be aggressively cutting taxation, and eliminating tons of laws.
Completely agree.
The problem however is, all of that taxation supports our government, which includes the globe’s most powerful military.
We send jobs abroad, we then support our own people who lose jobs, and the bring the stuff back here.
In the long run, we have destroyed America’s capacity.
We are ruining our very own country.
How will we continue to pay for the world’s biggest military force?
We need businesses.
Right here.
Sure America needs to tear down a lot of our strangling federal overlords.
But we are not helping things, by sending our industry to China.
China how has the second largest military budget on earth.
BECAUSE WE SEND OUR MONEY THERE.
You are either woefully ignorant of how the real world works or deliberately deceitful in this single issue crusade you wage on this board.
First of all - NO ONE IS SENDING JOBS ABROAD as if they received directives by the government to relocate. Industry has decided that in order to SURVIVE and stay profitable, moving overseas is their only option.
Our system and government makes running a business in America a LOSING and confiscatory proposition. Business exists TO MAKE A PROFIT. When that incentive is removed, there is no reason for a business to stay open in America.
Understand that fact of life yet or no? I assume you never owned your own business or created a start-up because if you did - this silly crusade of yours would have some substance besides Union-esque talking points being flung about like monkey poo.
No one works for free. No one invests in order to lose money.
But that is EXACTLY what America now offers businesses who operate in this country.
No business - no jobs. Capiche?
Business is looking to survive and make a profit ELSEWHERE thanks to a punitive government and tax system that INTERFERES with the free market. People BUY ON PRICE - always have, always will. FACT OF LIFE I think you would rather ignore.
Your solution seems to be a Fascist model of protectionism and cronyism. We already HAVE THAT.
America seems to have suffered a (major) disconnect with it’s own businesses.
Actually, it's people like you who have a MAJOR disconnect with how business exists, runs and operates. The thing that has CHANGED in America is that there is NO INCENTIVE for a business to exist and operate in America due to punitive government regulations and taxation.
You get that yet or are you stuck in a world of Union talking points?
You are in serious need of a Business and Marketing 101 course. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about.
If I had moved my business overseas instead of simply closing it - I tell you now, I see no reason whatsoever to bring that business 'home'. NONE.
This nation has been taught to hate business and the "rich". Government reflects that meme and punishes both business and the rich.
You have a poisoned country that bought into Marxist Socialism. There is no reason whatsoever for any business or wealthy industrialist to do business in this country just to be shaken down by government and his profits confiscated for larger government.
