Brandstead to raise taxes

Posted in: Muscatine

 You can't be serious, right????  Never had an econ. class, huh?  Never heard of the Laffer curve?

 

I'll assume you really don't know the answer and I'll offer one explanation:  Because the small business (or large business) has less of their income confiscated by the government as taxes, they are able to invest more $ in their business and hire more people.  All these people are now paying taxes, where before they weren't.  Wallah: resulting in more tax revenue.   In addition, because more people are employed, purchases and income is increased across the board.  More people employed = more descretionary spending = increased incomes = more taxes paid. 

But if this notion was correct, no tax would be the solution, because more people get employed, purchases and income are increased across the board.  More people are employed = more discretionary spending = increased incomes....

 

Or maybe we can agree tax is needed? If so, the question changes to what extent.

 


So, you are suggesting that Big Business - the evil of obama's world - shouldn't pay any taxes? He is currently on a rampage to raise taxes on those evil Rich folks in direct contrast to his big "we are working together for compromise." 

So the biggest business since obama began his term is the U.S. Gov't. Job growth is DC is phenominal and housing market flourishing - so no wonder the washington crowd thinks the recession is over and the job market is improving. Get out in the real world and see what the hek is happening!

 

Funny these liberals are concerned for who is representing us in Musc Co. Everthing that goes on in the county effects most of us. But they seem to forget that they have a Demoncrat Senator from Burlington (Courtney) that has jusrisdiction of nearly a third of Musc Co. Why aren't they posting their same complaints to him and about him? What has HE done for jobs and the economy in his portion of our county? NOTHING! That's what! Just like bow-tie Nathan when he was in office. But poster Repub, and the likes, don't seem to want to address Reichert's and Courtney's failings in our county.

LMAO!  Ha Ha!  TP obviously didn't read my post in its entirety; or, if he did, it's beyond his comprehension.  I think it just kind of whizzed past him!    Cracks me up!
