Dan Mitchell discusses Taxes on Businesses

[Visfen]

hah, this is so retarded.

[Wormtail81]

Why are they taxing businesses? Is it really true that wanting them fail is wanting the country to fail? I feel like wanting them to succeed makes less sense.

[hugesinker]

It is incoherent to cut taxes before you cut spending. That's the reason why the Bush tax cuts were stupid.

[Wormtail81]

I agree with your first statement. We should definitely adjust fiscal expenditure first.

[DrPhucker]

@hugesinker

The tax cuts were not stupid. Remember, the federal government realized record tax revenues on several occasions during the Bush years. So you cannot make that argument. The spending, however, under Bush was stupid but nothing compared to the monumental disaster of what's happening today.

[hugesinker]

If you can show me a speech where the tax cuts are proposed as a reaction to increased revenue, I'll give you the point on that. But still, Bush was talking about renewing it after two new and expensive wars flared up. Increasing spending (foreign and domestic) and decreasing taxes is incoherent. They had no strategy to rescue our bankrupt country. Not that Obama has any plausible solution.

I've lost almost all faith in the Republican party. What we need are libertarians posing as Republicpukes and decrease the size of this monster called the government and kill this cancer called spending.

The government is doing what it does best. Using its reverse Midas touch. Everything they touch turns to s**t. What to destroy capitol? They have a department for that, actually several departments.

The Department of Edu. to destroy human capitol.

The Department of Agri. to destroy agro capitol.

The Department of Com. to destroy intellectual capitol.

The Department of Housing and Urb. Dev. to destroy real estate capitol.

The Fed to destroy whats left.

The gov has declared war on the people.

@XCritonX

Brilliant! The Midas Touch in reverse.

@LowcountryJoe2 That's not exactly a new phrase.

When will Cato tackle the very important issue of demon sheep?

[FlailingJunk]

What is the point of trying to restrain the federal government at this point? Is shifting the exponential growth curve a bit to the right really worth the time and effort?

[TheAwakenedOne]

What about human capital?

Should investment in America be encouraged, and investment outside America be discouraged?

Should government be allowed to out source jobs overseas?

LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

Carly was for Proposition 8, which has the government regulating our private lives - who can marry who. Not very FREE.

[MagnusIan]

Excessive taxation is a weight upon the shoulders of the productive memebers of society.

[whoo689]

Kudlow himself is a mere Republican, if you didn't know.

[whoo689]

Lol@Kudlow. Did he just say "my apologist"?? I'm sorry, Kudlow, but unlike you, Dan Mitchell is a member of a LIBERTARIAN think tank that supports freedom in all spheres of life. Hopefully Dan Mitchell himself is a libertarian, but I heard that he DID serve in the Bush Sr. and Reagan administrations, so who knows. He may just be a conservative.

[Roddyoneeye]

I Love that ad ! It proves that she's a desperate, dim-witted Politician. Even the left is laughing at it.

Hot damn, no Weller!
