Corporations don’t pay taxes, their customers and employees do.
A simple truth that is never propagated to be understood by the populace. Sarah has the right idea about not giving in to what amounts as her view of blackmail, but just how out of balance is the desire of politicians to inflate services of a normal nature that cost a business owner so much more for the same than it does for say a homeowner and factory worker?
The problem is that they use it like a class warfare club but the only people being hit are the employees and customers who actually pay for it in the long run. Businesses are simply tax collection devices.
International markets are not free markets. That’s why so-called free trade agreements have hurt us. That is why canceling these deals and finding ways to offset their impact on American companies is crucial.
We’re told a Mexican worker will work for $2.50 an hour. Do they really at that rate mirror the lives of American workers making 25.50 an hour? Do we make 10 times more and live the same lives, in the same homes, driving the same cars, and having the same schools, hospitals, infrastructure?
I would say not. Places I’ve seen were impoverished in terms of the working class...Panama, Vietnam, Bahrain, Poland.
The idea is that Americans are to be brought to those serf levels. When our pay matches their 2.50 then our companies will stay in America. That’s the message I’m reading in the tea leaves.
And they have sold this with supposed prosperity coming from free trade.
There is no free trade. Don’t believe that lie. In the meantime American merchandise confronts massive obstacles in other countries proving the lie of free trade. More significantly, flooding our markets are products made at slave wages underselling our middle class wages and WE buy them, cutting our own throats and killing our own workers’ jobs who are producing those same products in America.
Does anyone ever look at a shirt and ask how that can cost only a few bucks and still have a profit margin that makes shipping it from asia, producing the material to make it, and paying decent wages to a worker profitable? It can only be done via complicity of leaders undercutting our own businesses.
It raises the question of prosperity versus accumulation. If I have 3 drills that last 2 years versus one drill that lasts a lifetime which is prosperity? If I have 10 cheap shirts intead of 5 quality shirts, which is prosperity?
The objective is to build prosperity, quality, and longevity. To participate in such a market, I would charge others a premium.
After all, they are already putting covert obstructions on us and underselling us with a serf people who have had the ability to aspire driven from them by their overlords.
“Corporations don’t pay taxes, their customers and employees do.”
That’s an ignorant statement made on the Internet by those that think it makes them seem in-the-know.
That retarded statement can be carried forward by saying those customers have companies that make money so they don’t pay taxes either, that their customer’s customer’s’ customer’s customer’s do. Which leads to the liberals claiming only the poor pay taxes.
The fact is corporations do pay taxes. Any idiot with an ounce of common sense knows this and understands the consequences.
You might as well claim like Obama that “they didn’t build that”.
