You're the only one to say anything about investors.

Apparently you aren't aware that all businesses, in fact most businesses, aren't publicly held corporations having to cater to investors.

But then again, when all you Fairtaxers have "taxes on corporations" drummed into your heads ad nauseam how could you possibly not think that?

“Apparently you aren’t aware that all businesses, in fact most businesses, aren’t publicly held corporations having to cater to investors.”

And you apparently aren’t aware that all for profit entities have investors and they all want a return on their investment. The major difference between a publicly held and privately held business venture is:
1. publicly held entities have more rigorous reporting requirements, and
2. capital flows into and out of a publicly held entity more easily.

Nevertheless, investors always expect a return and capital flows into more profitable ventures and out of less profitable ones.

Geez, it’s fun debating economics and business with louie. He’s like the guy who brings a knife to a gunfight.
