My question is: Are the business owners willing to take pay cuts to keep workers?

If they already have more than enough, then why not take one for the team?

I honestly have no idea what your response means.

Yeap. Tax it.

[whoo689]

are probably at least 2-3 MILLION

25k out of 3 million? Not a whole lot. Sure, every bit counts but come on

[whoo689]

The only people in our low-tax system who will BENEFIT ENOUGH TO REALLY "BE ABLE TO INVEST A LOT" and create HUGE NEW WEALTH from tax cuts... ARE PRECISELY THE ONES WHO ALREADY WERE WEALTHY TO BEGIN WITH! so... Why didn't they INVEST A LOT beforehand?? With all that money they ALREADY HAD

I mean, a guy whose profits are only 250k getting a tax cut of, say, 5% or 10%. That's only an extra 25k, at best. And considering the PROFIT is 250k, his OVERALL REVENUES, even for a low-margin industry

[whoo689]

The real issue is ELASTICITY (a well-known economic term). In other words, how much economic activity is "boosted" or "reduced" DEPENDS LARGELY ON WHAT PRODUCT OR SERVICE IS TAXED AND HOW MUCH! It's all about PROPORTION, really. It's not a given that, "If you tax Product A, we'll lose such-and-such amount of wealth by default." It DEPENDS

But, of course, Republicans, being the mental slobs they are, DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT! They don't WANT to make the effort to actually look it up.

[whoo689]

This is simply a REPUBLICAN TAUTOLOGY, nothing more or less. But REAL STUDIES (including one featured in NYT not too long) show that TAX CUTS DON'T CREATE MUCH GROWTH IN AND OF THEMSELVES! How COULD they?? Growth can only happen when there's SUFFICIENT DEMAND FOR YOUR PRODUCTS, and people can afford em. You're not gonna just INVEST A BUNCH OF MONEY INTO A POINTLESS ENTERPRISE and HOPE that people will eventually "see the light", right?
