McCain's Solution for the Economy: Tax Breaks for Wal-Mart

[theRebelBull]

Listen here son... lol... do you really think tax cuts are going to be enough to get employers to hire more employees? Do you know how expensive it is to maintain and employee especially in these times? Do you know those tax cuts will go straight into debt of those companies which will in the end not STIMULATE the economy but actually add additional debt resulting from those tax cuts, as for the current debt the tax cuts will merely cut it down by 5% or so.

Wal-Mart supplies so many jobs for Americans....if you give them tax cuts they are able to keep giving Americans jobs! Simple economics.

[ibilldavis]

As much as I hate Wal-Mart, I hate Barrack Obama more. Sorry, I have no choice but to vote for McCain.

So, in other words you support walmart and other companies that act as they do. Because with mccain, you WILL get more of the SAME from mcsame!

Walmart & other huge corporations like them have been the death of our economic infrastructure. They avoid appropriate taxation via legislative loopholes they've helped our so-called Reps in Gov create, they lobby Congress to keep minimum wage below a living wage, they work most employees part-time so that they can say they've "created jobs" when their real motive is to deny workers full-time benefits, they've squashed or bought out the competition, & shipped manufacturing jobs overseas.

[FriedDaisy]

The stats the MSM feds us concerning unemployment are a lie. The info used to generate figures are based on the number of people collecting unemployment insurance in a given quater. Those numbers aren't an accurate account of how many people are actually unemployed because it takes two weeks of unemployment before you can collect, benefits are often denied & many folks are too intimidated by the process to ever file. None of these unemployed persons are counted in published unemployment stats.

[FriedDaisy]

Have you heard, "We've created millions of new jobs?"

It's an attempt to make us feel less or un- concerned about the jobs that have been shipped overseas or which have completely disappeared over the past few decades.

The so-called jobs "created" are just a restructuring of what's left and what used to be full-time w/ benefits positions. Most "new jobs" are lower paying w/ fewer or unaffordable benefits, part-time and/or temporary w/o or w/ unaffordable benefits.

It's unpatriotic for large corporations to get tax cuts while the country is at war. I guess the rich are just looking out for the rich as usual.

[lighthammar]

both candidates work for lobbyists. The voting machines are still rigged. McCain will win regardless. Deal with it.

I don't know what problem they are referring to, but I don't think tax cuts are bad. Unless those taxes are not apportioned correctly. Maybe that is what the problem they are referring to is.

"but I don't think tax cuts are bad"

Who does? However the thing is that you will not be getting tax cuts under McCains administration unless you're a millionaire.
