@princess the problem with eating the rich is that would kill the economy and hurt small businesses

2020-02-28 16:55:17 UTC  

A better alternative would be audit the rich and audit the feds

2020-02-28 16:56:43 UTC  

Though I am for privately lifestyle and don't think people need to give out personally information on their lives. I do think audit of huge companies like Wal-Mart and amazon should be audit

2020-02-28 16:57:19 UTC  

Because those companies in most cases have a monopoly on a lot of product

2020-02-28 17:06:27 UTC  

@NobleBeing mega corporations hurt small business

2020-02-28 17:06:46 UTC  

We had more growth and equitable distribution when taxes were higher

2020-02-28 17:11:20 UTC  

Here's the problem of you keep taxes high on the rich they will leave with their businesses

2020-02-28 17:11:38 UTC  

That's why I think audits would be safer and more economic

2020-02-28 17:12:01 UTC  

High taxes is the reason why businesses left for China and Mexico

2020-02-28 17:12:30 UTC  

And if you keep taxing the rich they will just keep their money offshore

2020-02-28 17:12:39 UTC  

Then audit them

2020-02-28 17:12:45 UTC  

This is what a wealth tax lets you do

2020-02-28 17:13:04 UTC  

And no, high taxes are not why companies left for China and Mexico

2020-02-28 17:13:53 UTC  

Most of the companies people think relocated to Mexico (auto manufacturing) actually relocated to the American Southwest

2020-02-28 17:14:02 UTC  

And the ones that did relocate did so for labor costs

2020-02-28 17:14:14 UTC  

Those companies are still based in the US, most in Delaware.

2020-02-28 17:14:19 UTC  

Taxes before the tax cut before Trump cut them for businesses were over 30% and in China was 15% some rich people were even buying more

2020-02-28 17:14:36 UTC  

That’s not an accurate effective tax rate

2020-02-28 17:14:58 UTC  

And taxes were higher in the 70’s when these fortune 100’s experienced exponential growth

2020-02-28 17:15:02 UTC  

Like Microsoft

2020-02-28 17:15:19 UTC  

Plus Medicare is expensive but in China and Mexico where the law doesn't require you to have it is cheaper to employ people there then here

2020-02-28 17:15:38 UTC  

So you’ve shifted your argument from taxes to labor costs?

2020-02-28 17:15:51 UTC  

They are one in the same

2020-02-28 17:15:52 UTC  

Canada has universal healthcare, didn’t you just say companies relocate to Canada?

2020-02-28 17:16:20 UTC  

Ok, so if the government gave everyone healthcare, that would be a huge savings for corporations right?

2020-02-28 17:16:46 UTC  

No because now you just increase taxes to the average person

2020-02-28 17:17:01 UTC  

Canadians get taxed way more then we do

2020-02-28 17:17:31 UTC  

Oh, so corporations don’t relocate to canada?

2020-02-28 17:18:38 UTC  

Because Canada has too many red tape and regulations to get anything done plus you get taxed heavily

2020-02-28 17:18:54 UTC  

That's why people come here because there is more freedom economic wise

2020-02-28 17:19:02 UTC  

Mhm, what industries do you think relocate?

2020-02-28 17:19:11 UTC  

Yeah except that higher corporate taxes increase investment

2020-02-28 17:19:16 UTC  

For obvious reasons

2020-02-28 17:19:19 UTC  

I would stay in America or Russia

2020-02-28 17:19:27 UTC  

Lol

2020-02-28 17:19:47 UTC  

Russia’s economy is terrible

2020-02-28 17:19:54 UTC  

What industries relocate?

2020-02-28 17:20:03 UTC  

O sorry I read that wrong I thought you were asking me

2020-02-28 17:20:30 UTC  

China had iPhone moved over there and gm I think also moved to china

2020-02-28 17:20:37 UTC  

That’s not accurate

2020-02-28 17:20:39 UTC  

Gm is think is moving back
