Yeah.... If your mentality is punishment, but taxes aren't to fund the federal government.

Slomove, Isn't it interesting tht you note a rising inequality despite an increase (inflation adjusted) in welfare spending by 16x in 40 ish years? As per the graph, the complaint you have is correlating with an explosion in the size of government. Does it look like that complaint you have is going to change? Free markets don't guarantee equality, but allow for all to be better off in real terms. Who cares what the distribution is if the case by case outcomes are better than the current trajectory. Also, what is the deal with the trade deficit. It is no different than you buying items from your neighbor an he decides to accumulate financial assets. It is nothing that needs to be regulated. And we especially don't need export suvsidization (see ex-I'm bank). We also can NOT pay off the national debt. You must understand the monetary system to comprehend why. The alternative, which I favor, is free market money. (Fat chance of that though)

Which country are you talking about?

If this were unhampered, there would be jobs for any that were willing and able. People need to align their skills with jobs. This can't be planned from the top, it just needs to happen. $USD is created by the government when it spends. Loans create deposits, etc... No, banks do not care. Fractional reserve banking means that it is in their interest to extend credit. Optimally. I don't know everything about this topic. But, I do hold the view that we should have free trade. No tariffs. No export subsidies. True competition amongst states, countries etc.... If it is cheaper for a company to operate in Nevada to sell into California, then California has decisions to make to rectifiy this. Without government taxation and legal tender laws, there would be no U.S. Dollar. Now I am glad I asked the questions I asked. I see common ground between us. Good one.

There is a lot of information missing there. Any business that survives, while another does not is likely to be more efficient. That more efficient business continues to employ people. Their wages continue to be >0. A business operating in China will be taxed accordingly by China. How is this no taxation? Why does the business become evil by choosing to only pay foreign taxes and keep those dollars overseas? USD is useful beyond our borders. I was a bit off on this comment earlier. But there are many things this person can claim. I do not want you to think I am defending the current system or tax code. We've had these same allegations against "big business", most notably around 1900. Government has exploded in size. And you say that the eggs are getting less and less. What is your solution in light of this? You think this is a problem. I don't. It is a problem for you, and you don't have to accept one of these jobs. Despite the alarms you raise, there are many that walk in there and ask for an application. It is always a chance, just to what degree.... I'll take your figures at face value. What does "the company" do with the 80% of the revenues? I kind of see what you are saying, but I am being very specific. Everyone wants more money if the company is highly profitable, but no one wants to share in losses when the company is failing. Even when I am making no money for the company, I get positive pay. For that period of time, my company is in the red. No commission is not reliable. I changed careers due to having a job that was 80 percent travel. I would be home up to 1 week at a time, but it may be longer.......2 or even 3 weeks. I was personally unhappy with that uncertainty. I moved on. Someone else took my place. What do you consider the $USD you have right now? Is it not "in the economy"? When is it in the economy? When you buy something? And then what? Is it then removed from the economy again? Should those same dollars never stop flowing? When you are on Ebay, do you wish those offshore dollars were bidding against you on items? Thanks for being civil. :grouphug:

:rofl:

Too practical.

Contrarian argument? LOL. That TED talk is the antithesis of contrarian. Now for some long forgotten contrarian logic. :rant:

Not accurate. They pay taxes in the country they are operating in and cannot bring the dollars home without paying said taxes. There is no requirement to pay income taxes first. The employee isn't paying for anything in this scenario. Is it also evil when I or others take deductions when filing our taxes? My tax rate is 2x what my effective tax rate is. Am I evil? Right. So is larger government the solution? (more power for which a corporation can purchase) They would. Your cost of employment is your wage. Add up all benefits and all income earned. Include the taxes that the employer pays on YOUR behalf. Include all of the insurance the employer must also pay for you. Artificial demands for increases in benefits, wages etc. will be offset in some way. And they ARE able to deduct those expenses. The rate is set at a level that is expected to be met. This includes the ability to, on average, achieve profits. Any employee starts by costing the employer money. The employer takes a chance by hiring anyone. Sounds like a great deal to me. There is no such thing as equality. No one is forced to apply to these jobs you highlight. Everyone wants profit sharing. How about loss sharing too? :puke: Most want stable, reliable income. They decide to not take risks to achieve this. The capitalist starts on day one with all of his money invested. Not only does he expect to regain the invested funds, but to earn a rate of return. This pursuit of profits precedes the hiring of employees. :grouphug:

Have fun, looks awesome guys!

Now that is a pretty stalker. However, if I was just going to use one for the street..... I'd just get a Superformance S1. Cmon guys, use her for what she was designed for!!!

Crap. Oh well.... I'm slammed at work and school plus my car is still being finished. Can't wait to have Bruntonia make some friends.

nice
