That’s only the third time this week someone has posted Marx (or Engels) to me on an econ thread, and then run away like a pussy.
go ahead and explain how encouraging corporations to keep/build manufacturing facilities here in the states is going to put the smaller auto-parts companies out of business because, from what I have seen, they started going out of business about the time we started encouraging companies to send their manufacturing facilities elsewhere and I live in an area formerly dominated by the automotive industry so I have seen it with my own eyes many times. You want to build your cars in Mexico you can sell them there as far as I’m concerned.
He could very well become the next President. Americans have had enough of the professional political class.
Hey, you were the one who said you were going to educate me about the glories of free-trade supported by every globalist/marxist organization on the planet. You're free to do so whenever you want to. I ain't doing the heavy lifting. Too early in the morning!
You want to make my stuff more expensive? Like some sort of tax? Tell me more..../s
Oh no, you're going to have to pay a little more for your plastic crap now made by new employed American hands instead of funding the genocidal death machine known as the PLA.
Dozens of Mom & Pop shops here in Detroit. Gone. Whoosh. Like they never existed. Like the dinosaurs.
As far as you living in an area formerly dominated by the auto industry . . . I live and work near Detroit. And for seven of the nine months of this year, I've been working 60hrs/wk. Mandatory overtime.
You didn’t answer the question.
It is about making America So attractive they want to have their businesses here. I got to see a Consulate General from the Czech Republic a few years back on a dais helping pitch their products. So I looked @ their tax code, and at the time they were talking about changing all their tax rates to 19%. It was no wonder they were kicking butt....
They didn't do it, however, it doesn't mean we can't and not go as far as Ireland ( 12.5% business tax ) but something to this effect...
* 15% Flat Income Tax
* 15% Cap Gain and Dividend, and yes Tax it once at the source like Steve Forbes mentioned eons ago is an option.
* 15% Business Tax no deductions, 100% expensing up front year one. ( yes depletion needs to be addressed)
* No Death Tax, zero zip nada...
Well, on conservative bulletin boards, when someone parachutes in with a comment such as #18, they should probably elaborate on it just a bit. But if you can’t do the “heavy” (LOL) lifting . . . .
I'm sorry. Maybe it's just because I work for an auto-parts manufacturer. In any case, my comment about the "free lunch" should have covered it.
That was essentially Trump’s argument as well: lower taxes, less regulations, and an actual trade policy that protects American jobs.
“Under free trade the trader is the master and the producer the slave. Protection is but the law of nature, the law of self-preservation, of self-development, of securing the highest and best destiny of the race of man. [It is said] that protection is immoral…. Why, if protection builds up and elevates 63,000,000 [the U.S. population] of people, the influence of those 63,000,000 of people elevates the rest of the world. We cannot take a step in the pathway of progress without benefitting mankind everywhere. Well, they say, ‘Buy where you can buy the cheapest’…. Of course, that applies to labor as to everything else. Let me give you a maxim that is a thousand times better than that, and it is the protection maxim: ‘Buy where you can pay the easiest.’ And that spot of earth is where labor wins its highest rewards.”
~ President William McKinley
Structure of power thingy? So please enlighten me as to how it is beneficial in any way to lose the jobs the businesses that supported the workers and truckers and everything else that prospers because of the plant being ine U.S.A. along with the cities not collecting taxes on the property....you do not understand ...when they leave the domino effect of job loss is brutal and the taxation of incoming goods should betaxed to make up for the loss....fk free-trade...and espeially globalism....so tell me where I am wrong?
The money line of this thread!
Nevermind busting the Hedge Fund guys cohones, they get the Flat 15% too.... Enough of the Class Warfare...
From an economic perspective, it is not beneficial at all . . . leading to the next question: how much more do you expect others to pay in order to save the jobs you deem worth saving?
How would you get put out of a job because an automotive company was encouraged to set up shop right beside you as opposed to Mexico? Explain it. Because I don’t see it happening that way. The way I see it, the more people with good paying jobs you have, the more people you have that are in a position to buy a new car which means an increased demand for new cars and new car parts. It also means more people funding the military, SS/medicare, the VA, etc. It also means more people looking to buy a home which means housing prices recover. All good things if you ask me.
On the one hand nobody wants to see auto plants move to Mexico.
On the other hand, nobody complains about the auto plants that moved to Windsor.
On the third hand, if we want to stem the tide of illegal immigration, Mexico needs to develop an economy that can provide jobs.
Yep. so, true.
