[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Let's see... A Reaganomics tax cut seems to benefit businesses, because they generally generate a great deal of revenue, and thusly, taxes. so... Business profits rise. Business expands into new building in another location (because you spend money to make money, to get new markets). Business hires 250 new employees. Employees buy new products, thanks to influx of pay. Other businesses profit, expand, hire, etc. If there's more job openings than employees, as happens in a near-full-employment era like we have right now, then salaries become competetive, workers benefit. meanwhile... CEO buys new yacht. People must be hired to maintain, pilot, etc. that yacht. These people profit as well. OR... Taxes go up. Business which can no longer afford to pay taxes, and still make viable profit, closes doors, lays off workers. New companies cannot afford to start up whilst simultaneously paying new higher taxes. Workers go on welfare, unemployment, or what-have-you government program, thus becoming dependent on Government. Government pays for these programs through taxing the rest of us even more. Downward cycle continues. I dunno, seems pretty simple which one works to me... This example is most obvious in Southwestern Pennsylvania since the steel mills closed. Communities without industrial and commercial development DRY UP and DIE. Apathy and crime rise, as does welfare dependence. Almost no new high-employment businesses start up, because of the combination of high taxes, worker apathy, and crime. I mean, the biggest employer in this area right now is &%$ing TELEMARKETERS, for Chris's sake. [/QB][/QUOTE]
