Quote from hayman:

What I fail to hear any of these "pro-growth" strategies offer, is to ONLY provide Corp Tax cuts, if Corps create jobs in the U.S. In other words, create an American job, get a tax credit. Don't create a job in the U.S., no tax credit given. I don't hear anyone echoing this. To me, all these "pro-growth" strategies being offered, are great for economies outside the U.S., and of course, great for Wall Street.

As an Independent, and trying to be objective about this as possible, I only see these offered "pro-growth" strategies being helpful to Corporations' bottom line; i.e., helping the shareholder only. If jobs are created as a result of these strategies, then that's a bonus, in their eyes. They really don't give a rats ass about creating jobs first -- they want the stock market to continue its ascent, to help line their pockets further. That is the main objective.

Global companies like GE, which does 60 % of its biz overseas, would love a carte-blanche Corporate Tax Cut. That way they can continue to build more factories in Brazil, with their extra savings. Will this effect the bottom line for GE ? Sure will. Will it create more jobs ? Sure will, in Brazil. There may be some ripple-effect back to the U.S. with parts supplies and such, but the bottom line here is GE's stock will surge, and economies outside the U.S. will prosper. Now what if we said, we'll only cut your tax rate proportional to the # of American jobs you create ? You don't create American jobs, you'll continue to pay the prevailing Corp rate. Now doesn't this seem more like a "pro-growth" (that is, a U.S. pro-growth) strategy ?

ALL foreign aid, should be given as vouchers to purchase US made goods only.... Corporations should be given a window of substantially lowered tax rates on foreign earnings repatriated into the US. at the same time the tax rate should be increased on corporate earnings overseas and longer term tax breaks given to Companies that relocate overseas businesses back into the US.

Oh, is this your plan for running the government?

Yes, all great ideas, and part of what should happen. I don't hear anyone echoing this at all. I think everyone agrees that JOBS would solve a lot. Well, let's do something meaningful about it. Are there any candidates out there touting this ????????????

Wow...I'm glad Ronald Reagan came along before the internet was booming.

Why? The policies set in motion by Reagan's fiscal illiteracy are a major contributor to the current mess.

That's just another form of corporate welfare.

If you want to help, help.

If you want to promote domestic industry, do it with tariffs.

It makes zero sense to put restrictions on foreign aide with the goal of helping US companies while suicidal, irrational trade policies like MFN for China remain in place.
 
I'm a Ron Paul guy. I like Ron's bluntness and ideas. However, Cain has caught my attention. He as achieved a lot, he is straight forward and his Economic Plan seems to be a wise one. I have not crunched all the numbers myself, but I have not read a lot that can discredited him on the 9 9 9 plan, other than the idiot Bachman who said "Turn it Upside Down". She is still stuck in the Dogma wised tail of the the number of the best being 666, fucking idiot.
 
Quote from BSAM:

All you people who seem so opposed to Cain's 999 plan and the elimination of the IRS (as we know it); are you happy with the current tax code and are you satisfied that it is not rife with corruption?
how is Cains plan going to eliminate the IRS as we know it? They still have to deal with the 9% income tax just like they always do. Changing a rate and eliminating deductions will not eliminate the IRS or even change it.
 
Quote from Wallet:

And the best argument for scraping all income/ss/med tax and going to a general new retail/service sales tax only; exempting, prescription drugs and whole foods. I don't see minimum wage earners going out and buying a 30K new car.

Their basic foods, prescriptions and purchases on used goods would be tax free.
yeah but he's not talking 9% sales tax he's talking 9+9+9
 
Quote from oldtime:

and the way they were talking at the debate, not even food and medicine would be exempt, only used goods (which is the only good thing about it IMCO.)
 
Quote from Wallet:

There's such a thing as a manufacturer's statement of origin, MSO. New vehicles are given such in lieu of a Title, the MSO can be transferred only between New Car Dealers that share the vehicles make, i.e wholesale....... once the vehicle is sold outside those parameters the MSO has to be surrendered and replaced by a State Title showing ownership or a retail purchase. you'd tax it then.

I guess you love the existing IRS tax code by your lame debates
no matter what the tax code I can figure a way around it. I'm pretty sure I could manufacture a brand new used vehicle.
