Hillary Wants to Invest in $275 Billion in America

One of the best ways to "Make America Great Again" is actually to invest in America:

That'd be nice, but the Corporate States of America would rather invest elsewhere, especially in those communist countries rather than here. In 2014 alone, $4.92 TRILLION.

Why on earth would anybody want to invest in OUR nation? Where's the profit in that?

I've already answered the question several times. Are you an amnesiac too?

YES ... I disagree with it. Wall Street on the other hand DEMANDS it until your guys tell them to stop. And now, on to "corporate inversion" which is ANOTHER thing your kids are doing shit about. Look up "fiduciary responsibility" ... if one company does it and yours doesn't, the stockholders can toss your ass out the door. Only a change to the law will make this stop.

No.

That's NOT the question here.

The question here is:

"Do you agree with companies investing overseas but not domestically?"

Answer that question.

Finger pointing, "well your side does it too" is what elementary school kids do.

So you don't agree with investing money in America?

I guess our roads and bridges will continue to rot and crumble and our corporations will continue to invest overseas as opposed to in America.

That's not "Making America Great Again" and instead that's "Making Corporations Wealthier While Duping the American Voter".

Then we need to raise taxes, in a fair progressive manner, to pay for these investments.

The infrastructure will return far more than it costs. Can't say the same for tax cuts and pointless military invasions.

I'm absolutely okay with that.

He was asking if $19 trillion debt is too high and I agreed with him.

However, he favors slash and burn cutting where as I favor a combination of cuts and tax increases.

Might I remind you that it's you who has the ethics problem. It's you who works for a company that avoids taxes in just the way you are complaining about. It's you who comains that companies do it but then say what your employer does is exploiting loopholes in the tax code. If you really believed what you say you'd have some seld respect and quit. I have no such issues with my employer.

Lulz. Problem is his approach leaves a lot of vulnerable Americans in the lurch. We have to take care of our own, first and foremost. Still, interest rates are minimal, so the payback will amount to a whole lot less than it would if we wait any longer.

Then your state taxes will go up because the amount of aid to states will go down. I know people who work for the government and while agency budgets are flatlined for five years, Congress is increasing the amount of grants to states and cutting the requirements to prove that the grants are being used for their stated purpose. To cut taxes and cut the debt means these grants to states will have to be cut. With less revenue coming in states will have to raise taxes or cut services like retiree pensions from transit agencies. I think all CTA retirees should have their pensions revoked and if they were too dumb to invest in IRA, 401(k), etc. too bad so said. As a taxpayer why should Illinois residents have to pay for those capable of working but voluntarily choose not to and want to sit at home on their computers living on their government handout?

You're ingoring FICA, sales tax, and the basic cost of living above a subsistence level. Subtract all that out and the family with 50K in income barely has anything left to live on while the family earning 200K has plenty of spare money.

Which is precisely why a flat tax will never work and if implemented it would immediately be a political hot potato.

Candidates always use the idea of a flat tax as something that sounds "fair" but most aren't even stupid enough to try to implement it.

FYI, my pension plan is not connected to any Illinois municipal workers plan. Unlike state workers, workers contribute to it. 9% towards the pension, and 3% towards health care trust, which subsidizes retirees insurance premiums. Yes I do pay toward my insurance premium.
