[quote=Chico23231;1201637]The irony is this...if the government mandated it, you would love it. Since corporate America is doing it...its criticized.
This is serious competition component to the 15 raise....but lets not talk about it. Wages are rising and there have been articles about the holiday job hiring frenzy where higher pay this season was gonna be an issue for demand of those jobs. Warren Buffet knows what he is talking about and often the liberals will highlight he opinions. But its funny when the bias media doesn't push one of his strong view points on the economy: [url]http://fortune.com/2015/05/22/warren-buffett-minimum-wage/[/url][/quote] You just love to make this shit up don't you chico? Find a post from anyone that says a company willing to pay it's workers more is wrong??? Funny you quote Warren Buffet yet when it came to the Tax cuts and he was speaking out about how he pays less in taxes than his secretary how much screaming did you do then?I'll remind you none. Lets just read more about what Warren thinks. [url]https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/01/14/warren-buffett-on-tax-reform.aspx[/url] But don't expect the tax cuts to benefit everyday Americans While Buffett acknowledges that Berkshire's bottom line will be helped by the new tax law, and he predicts the stock market is likely to rise, that doesn't mean he thinks the GOP's tax-reform bill is in the best interest of the American public. Buffett recently wrote an article for Time magazine in which he explained why trickle-down economics doesn't really work. The whole idea behind the GOP's tax-reform bill is that the massive tax cut for corporations will "trickle down" to the American public in the form of more jobs and higher wages. And the early indications are that this is somewhat true -- several high-profile companies announced bonuses for their workers or higher minimum wages in the wake of the legislation. However, Buffett points out that historically, trickle-down economics hasn't had the promised effect. He gives the example of the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans. Between the first version of the list in 1982 and today, the wealth of the top 400 has multiplied by a factor of 29, from $93 billion to $2.7 trillion. Buffett says that at the same time, "many hardworking citizens remained stuck on an economic treadmill." He added: "During this period, the tsunami of wealth didn't trickle down. It surged upward." |

BUT your point is right it's not enough, and Congress needs to stop living in tax and spend environment.[/quote] Thank you for being capable of a meaningful discussion. When I'm a pain in the ass at least I'm funny. Chico and G1 need to take it to the kids table. Agree that the higher GDP growth is driving higher tax base. Unfortunately though the part of the GDP that has grown has been heavier on the corporate side of the ledger, which has led in part to corporations performing stock buybacks, which increases stock prices and those capital gains get taxed. But not at a rate as high as you'd get by taxing wages / regular income. We're seeing wages finally rising some, but not at the same rate as corporate earnings and stock prices. Trump's position on China of course is leading to tariffs, which of course pads the federal coffers. I'd be interested to see how much of an impact that's having on our deficit. In other words, without it how big would our deficit be? So that part of his approach has to be thrown in the mix. Overall I'm not a fan of protectionist practices but a source of tax revenue is a source of tax revenue. Overall my concern is our economy feels really strong right now but that strength isn't sustainable. When interest rates eventually rise the impact on our federal budget will be large. Tough choices about our fiscal spending loom and people will eventually feel a lot of pain, it's just a matter of which Americans will bear the burden, and when. |

Re: Winning
How the government should work: individuals and corporations are taxed at a fair/competitve rate and spending bends to what reasonable and fair tax money is available.
How it actually works: government spends trillions more than we have, tells us all that we need to pay more, creates class warfare among americans, has an uncompetitive corporate tax rate, and the politicians get rich off of lobbyist money, bribes, pork, etc. Talk about a crime family. Legalized mob. |

No, Obama didn't walk in to a slow growth stable economy in his first term. We have agreed on that. In his second term he did have a more stable economy to work with and gdp remained stagnant for the most part, with the NYT even going so far as to say that there was a minirecession in 2015. As for tariffs, they were and are part of the trade negotiations, a tool to bring other countries to the discussion. short of China, I don't think the rest of the tariffs went into effect for more than a few months. But - and this is why your comments are smoke and drivel. You repeat your few mantras over and over with no real intent to discuss, i believe just to derail honest conversations with others |
