Yes, well I take the term Conservative with a grain of salt when folks don’t mind if China gets our technology, specifically military grade technology.
I take it with a grain of salt when they don’t mind that we are funding the rise of China to be a global problem player in international circles.
Oh yes, they don’t like government involvement, but when you mention that corporations get tax incentives today to move jobs off shore, you’d expect them to say, yeah that’s bad. No, instead you get folks telling you there are no such incentives.
Good grief? LMAO, yep, well it takes different things for people to be impressed doesn’t it.
Yes I did list off a number of problems. And since the reaction to any suggestion there is need to change always focuses on “Protectionists”, I think it’s fair to ask questions that will cause folks to confront their own ignorance.
You see, it’s not the fault of protectionists is it. What has been taking place has been taking place over the objections to protectionists. And when China starts a war with it’s neighbors, the protectionists who tried to warn it was going to happen, will once again be the focus if they remind folks of what they warned about.
Look at our employment climate in the U. S. today. Think there’s any problems? Why no, and protectionists would be the ones that caused it if the subject comes up.
Okay smart ass...
Would lowering the corporate tax rate be government intervention to control the economy and individuals more?
Well, evidently so. Mase, buy a clue when you get a chance.
Oh, spare us. Seriously. Predicting something that will occur with near 100% certainty is the sign of a very, very weak mind.
Remind me again who said they don't mind if China gets our military technology? Or are you just tilting at windmills again? Sounds like you have a problem with government.
they don’t like government involvement, but when you mention that corporations get tax incentives today to move jobs off shore...
Sounds like another problem that government has created. Again, your problem is with government, not freedom.
And since the reaction to any suggestion there is need to change always focuses on “Protectionists”, I think it’s fair to ask questions that will cause folks to confront their own ignorance.
You're good with itemizing problems. You're not so good with solutions.....other than we must place more restrictions on the private sector and reign in liberty. That doesn't sound very conservative, but maybe I just don't know you well enough. I'm sure you mean well.
I don't blame protectionists for those problems directly. I blame those who would empower government even more to rectify their perceived problems. And that's exactly what protectionists propose. Their only solutions, at least that I've seen, involve bigger government and greater restrictions on freedom. You may or may not be a protectionist, but offering bigger government as your solution ain't much of a solution.
Look at our employment climate in the U. S. today. Think there’s any problems?
Lots of problems. You've pointed out another result of big government. I'm seeing a common thread here.....you?
Would lowering the corporate tax rate be government intervention to control the economy and individuals more?
I'm all for lowering the corporate tax rate so that more businesses will choose to locate here. Dramatically reduce regulation along with that and you might be on to something. Looks like you finally suggested a solution.....and, gasp, it involves shrinking government. I like it.
