Because of lower tax revenues

2018-02-27 08:01:23 UTC  

@Deleted User They should move the federal reserve to trump tower

2018-02-27 08:01:33 UTC  

The solutions offered by socialism are usually much more radical than just changing the tax rate

2018-02-27 08:01:52 UTC  

Though different people will have different solutions

2018-02-27 08:02:07 UTC  

Which is why you have so many obnoxipus people with their (brand) of socialism

2018-02-27 08:02:11 UTC  

Like you noted earlier

2018-02-27 08:02:28 UTC  

so what you're saying is that the government won't be collecting enough taxes to sustain itself and that is the problem with low taxes?

2018-02-27 08:02:43 UTC  

No, that was for a specific example

2018-02-27 08:02:53 UTC  

Being up way too late and trying to think of something to write is like being drunk and trying to think of something to say

2018-02-27 08:02:55 UTC  

TBH

2018-02-27 08:03:10 UTC  

i wans to know how the economy will start to fail in the long term

2018-02-27 08:03:11 UTC  

alright im fucking out

2018-02-27 08:03:17 UTC  

what is the process behind that happening

2018-02-27 08:03:25 UTC  

I thought you said you read marx...

2018-02-27 08:03:25 UTC  

if the corporate tax rate causes businesses to come back

2018-02-27 08:03:27 UTC  

create jobs

2018-02-27 08:03:45 UTC  

what processes in effect will cause the economy to decline and unemployment to rise?

2018-02-27 08:04:00 UTC  

Its not that simple, also i just gave you an example of why it wont work

2018-02-27 08:04:20 UTC  

More than a trillion dollars expected to be added to the national debt

2018-02-27 08:04:46 UTC  

US already has a massive debt to gdp ratio

2018-02-27 08:04:54 UTC  

national debt makes more sense

2018-02-27 08:04:57 UTC  

you said deficit before

2018-02-27 08:05:04 UTC  

Yeah sorry

2018-02-27 08:05:05 UTC  

Edited

2018-02-27 08:05:10 UTC  

ya

2018-02-27 08:05:27 UTC  

Also, if the world didnt have USD as a reserve currency, US would be fucked

2018-02-27 08:05:29 UTC  

Calvin Coolidge presided over an economic boom by doing nothing, but as he passed the reins over to Herbert Hoover the economy basically imploded

2018-02-27 08:05:43 UTC  

well look i can get behind that but with all things considered we have to cut the government by a lot

2018-02-27 08:05:46 UTC  

@Nike @Brickiest Brick And don't forget that this is happening while, as you (brick) said, "businesses are coming back" from what is supposed to be a prospering time

2018-02-27 08:06:01 UTC  

the reason the government can't support itself is because it's too big

2018-02-27 08:06:16 UTC  

the government needs to find a balance between how much in taxes it takes in and how big it is

2018-02-27 08:06:16 UTC  

Ok...

2018-02-27 08:06:28 UTC  

I dont think it will work

2018-02-27 08:06:37 UTC  

You wont find a balance

2018-02-27 08:06:44 UTC  

What about capital accumulation?

2018-02-27 08:06:55 UTC  

You can find a temporary one

2018-02-27 08:07:12 UTC  

But the contradictions of capitalism will keep accumulating

2018-02-27 08:07:25 UTC  

i mean, at this point this is more of a criticism of democracy

2018-02-27 08:07:38 UTC  

because different presidents and different governments are elected

2018-02-27 08:07:46 UTC  

they change how the government works and operates

2018-02-27 08:07:48 UTC  

what about economic democracy
