More ways to save money and increase revenue.
1) Corporate taxes. No sense in corporations paying 0 taxes on 14 billion in profits. (GE) NO sense of Google paying 2% tax rate back in 2010 when they score billions. (a few examples below)

I also think they should lower the overall corporate tax, and close ALL the loopholes.
2) Subsidies to oil industry or any other corporation. I think this is self explanatory.
Also, you have to cut spending, and I'm fine with cutting spending across the board. The one interesting point to note though, infrastructure spending helps out the economy.
That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure I can (and will) think of more. |
This is the problem. You call the rich scumbags because they work hard and pay the taxes they legally owe. So what do you call the poor who don't pay any taxes and actually receive a refund after paying nothing into the system?
I guess you also must know those Corp. profits are passed down to the stock holder and they have to pay taxes on the profits.
