End Corporate Income Tax - Washington Times, November 30, 2004:
The idea and practice of the corporate income tax has been dying slowly for the last two decades. The corporate income tax is a highly destructive tax that greatly distorts proper economic decision-making, taxes the same income more than once, is endlessly complex, and provides a declining share of tax revenue in most countries. For instance, in the United States, corporate income tax revenues fell from 4.2 percent of gross domestic product in 1967 to only 1.2 percent of GDP in 2003, though there was minimal change in the tax rate.So apparently there isn't a lot of money in corporate taxes to begin with.
Those who oppose eliminating the corporate tax will say we cannot afford the revenue loss. They say such things because they do not think beyond the first order. Think about it for a minute. If you eliminate the corporate tax, corporate profits will increase, causing corporations to hire more workers and/or raise wages and invest more in new and better equipment, and/or increase their dividend payouts. All this will cause the price of corporate stock to rise and the government to receive more in capital-gains tax revenues. The government will also receive more tax revenue from the increase in dividends paid and workers hired. If we look at the experience of other countries who have greatly reduced corporate tax rates, like Ireland, it is clear the additional growth in jobs and profits ended up providing the government more, not less, tax revenue.

Still trolling Palin threads, eh?
Whenever you hear that, you need to remind them that it had nothing to do with not being able to take the heat. She’s been taking heat since September 2008.
I see that. NP ((Bikkuri))!
The prospects if Gov. Palin decided not to run, are frightening.
That was 45 minutes?! It felt like 5 :O
“Where’s the announcement?
You show up on enough Palin threads to have caught the kerfuffle over the September 3rd announcement rumor. That got squashed by her organizers the same day that Rove claimed she’d announce today.”
I got caught up as well. She didn’t announce today and that’s okay. I’m not disappointed. She’s got until sometime in October, I think; she’s in control and “prepping the battlefield” as it were.
I can wait and meanwhile I’ll enjoy watching the Lame Stream Media and the political Left and Right heads exploding all over the place... they’ll be crying: “It’s not fair, it’s not fair to the other candidates.” I say screw them... they’ve ALL screwed us for years.
The “announcement” will happen when it happens.
I love it!
May...be ..... ;)

How ‘bout them apples ??
VOTE .. IF YOU HAVEN’T!
According to the PDS Posse, we're all "cultists" because we're actually enthusiastic about such a person potentially becoming our next president.
Sarah: "We'll keep it classy. We won't tell them to go to hell."
I don’t know anything more about the Rush tea delivery than what we saw. One of the speakers introduced a lady in the audience who he said was handing out the Two if by Tea that Rush had delivered to the event. Way cool, El Rushbo!
Seriously. I don't give a shit anymore how many people were there. That speech was amazing. Has any other candidate said the words "I have a plan" ?
Blown away. And waiting for Constitution Day.
You won’t see any of Sarah’s supporters asking for “Palin Money”, that’s for sure.
Nobody on the rope line asked her to pay their Mortgage or fill their Gas Tanks either.
what he said (...and well said, by the way)
“She sounds like she might actually DO the things she promises :).”
That is what scares the fuzz out of them!!
I’ve never made a prediction, at least since Governor Perry announced. Before that, I told a couple of friends that I hoped that the two Governors were communicating.
We discuss current events at FR. Always have since on Delphi. (where I lurked - still hadn’t learned to do more than hunt and peck type, then. And I thought “Delpheye” was “Delphee.”)
