Why do Republicans attack Democrats, saying that liberals are not true Americans?
Republicans say that deomocrats are not true Americans. I disagree. Republicans are not true americans. They claim to love America, and that they support the war in Iraq. Too bad there were no WMDs in iraq. Republicans claim that they support the war, but only a small percentage of the voters have gone to iraq. Republicans claim that they have morals, but do nothing to stop global warming, something that could kill millions. Republicans are trying to stop stem cell research, a process that could save thousands of lives. They would rather stop abortions, even though, the baby at 3 months has little feeling. How's that for true Americans? How's that for morals? Lies every which way. Corruption is all that they know! Apparantly, republicans think you must be selfish, stupid, and foolish to be a "True American" True Americans pfft.
I have heard that although the US corporate tax is nominally one of the highest in the world, in reality there are many tax exemptions and benefits which make it in fact one of the lowest. Is this true?
Bear in mind that Corporations do not pay taxes. They act as collection agencies for the taxes. The end consumer of products or services pay the taxes.US taxes are extraordinarily high. During the 1950s the taxes were much higher. They were used to pay off the war bonds BUT the deductions were many and effectively reduced the tax level to one that could be tolerated by the economy.When "Tax Reform" became a fact of life the Corporate taxes were reduced but the deductions were eliminated. This was suppose to make the accounting easier and taxes "more transparent." The Net result was the Corporations collected fewer taxes and passed along the savings to the consumer.Over time the "Tax the Rich" and "Corporations don't pay their fair share" movements have driven the top brackets up to the point where American Corporations had to out source their production and reduce their overheads to be able to sell their products at a competative price.This has resulted in what we have today. Corporations that are reflagging themselves to avoid paying US taxes on foreign income from products not manufactured in the United States.For American Corporations that stay in the US the tax rate is very high. For American Corporation that are wholely own subsidiaries of their own foreign flagged corporations the taxes are lower, but not the lowest.The claim is false and is the product of liberal [OWS} slight of hand accounting that includes the income on the foreign flagged parent corporation. In point of fact the OWS lies and Elizabeth [Princess Fauxchaontas] fevered imagination.
Do liberals not understand income taxes or just dont like Trump?
I myself got out of some taxes for my gambling and stock investment losses. Also I assume a lot of democrats are on welfare and dont pay any taxes, so how could they get so high n mighty over nothing? Or am I overthinking it, maybe theyre just idiots that believe any drivel that suits their narrative?
Are liberal policies anti-business? What is a counter argument to the conservative ideology that lower corporate taxes grows the economy?
1. There is no 'anti-business'. There are some policies which are anti a particular sort of business, and so on. An Business with 10 employees and revenue in the low millions isn't necessarily going to be affected by the same sort of policies that would affect a 100k employee conglomerate. When someone says a policy is anti-business, we should always ask "anti WHICH business?"2. Conservatives who make these sweeping claims about macro economics often have no formal study of economics. That's not to say they're necessarily wrong, but a little intellectual humility about what are extremely complex issues would be nice. 3. "Growing the economy" isn't the sole political value (though I personally think it's a very important one). So, it might be the case that a little less growth is a price worth paying for some other putative good. For example, if it turned out that enslaving all conservatives for some lovely free labour maximized economic growth, we still shouldn't do it. 4. It's not very plausible that modern "liberal" governments have been anti business. The third way of UK New Labour (and contemporary Labour basically still is New Labour) and the German SPD was very business friendly. Same for the policies of the US Democrats (who are basically a Conservative party anyway). To say that New Labour wasn't business friendly is to be an incompetent witness to how the world is. 5. Lots of stereotypical "liberal"'polices are actually very helpful for business. Eg. Promoting an educated workforce through universal access to quality education. That's just a smattering of the approaches that can be taken. Signed: a pro business liberal
Are Republicans pro-corporation and anti-small business?
Seems to me that Republicans seem to encourage these big corporations over mom and pop businesses. I would love to have the option to go into an old-fashioned corner grocery store but now all there are are these giant corporations. You also get these mass media companies like Fox which own half of the televison channels. Now the Republicans are supporting the corporations like the giant insurance companies. I'm not saying that there aren't democrats that are supported by corporate lobbyists but generally to me the Republicans seem pro-corporation rather than small business. What do you think about this? I hope I didn't offend anyone with this. It's just my opinion. Thanks for any responses
