What we really need is less subsidies AND less taxes. Let the companies sustain themselves fairly.

What about the companies that hire people, but don't pay high enough wages for the person to support themselves with a full-time job? Personally, I agree. Subsidies should not be given out easily. I don't think we need less taxes, I do think we need simpler and harder to evade tax laws. Overall, I think companies should be able to both survive and allow their employees to survive without outside assistance, if they are unable to, they shouldn't be in business.

The caveat is I believe subsidies are necessary for certain products/services. There are certain things that simply cannot be profitable, but greatly benefit us as a country. For instance, ensuring everyone has access to high speed internet, power, telephone, etc. There may not be the ability to make a profit there, but it is important for us, as a country, to ensure certain basic necessities to everyone.

This is the mentality that has led to this country's downfall. GIVING RICH PEOPLE MONEY DOES NOT EQUATE TO CREATING JOBS.

How often to people have to keep parroting this stupid bullshit?


Fossil-fuel subsidies are the real job killers *|*Labor Network for Sustainability

They discovered that despite generating $546 billion in profits between 2005 and 2010, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and BP reduced their U.S. workforce by 11,200 employees over that period.

In 2010 alone, the top five oil companies slashed their global workforce by 4,400 employees — the same year executives paid themselves nearly $220 million. But at least those working in the industry as a whole get paid high wages, right? Turns out that 40 percent of U.S oil-industry jobs consist of minimum-wage work at gas stations.
You were saying?

The ignorance in this country is outstanding. I can see how and why people are enslaved so easily. Create a lie, repeat it enough to where it becomes their truth and way of life.

You spouting this crap is worse than G1 speaking about the stigmatas.

So you gave gotten all of your jobs from poor people?

Successful people are exactly the people who are in a position to employ people and penalizing them is only going to hurt the potential people they could employ.


The lack of common sense in this nation astounds me.

Nice sidestep. Why don't you just admit you were wrong? It's much easier than continuing a lie you've been told your whole life.

You still believe in trickle down economics right?...lol

Companies and the wealthy are the ones hiring people. They are not the people pumping money into our economy. The middle class and the poor are the folks who pump money into our economy. When they get a pay check they use it to purchase goods and services, they do not have the luxury to tuck away that money. Companies on the other hand are attempting to be as cost efficient as possible, they don't actively look to spend surplus money.

I'm a firm believer that more money being spent by individuals will drive demand for products, thus creating jobs. I don't believe giving a business more money to spend will motivate them to create jobs. If companies are forced to keep up with demand and their services are slipping as a result, they will hire people to handle the demand. Empower the consumers and your economy will be active. Empower businesses and they will look to use the money as efficiently as possible. Efficient use of funds does not equate to a strong economy.

Re: Pics For Sharing & Debating

I can't admit what's not true.


Face it, Government cannot solve every problem. Leaving it up to the private market will always bring better results?


Don't believe me, get an insurance quote right now.



Glad you can still laugh at yourself like a 12-year old girl on Facebook. "lol"

So I showed you exactly where it wasn't true, yet you still deny it? Apparently you haven't kept up with economics or have the slightest idea about it. You continue to parrot the same exact bullshit I used to because it was drilled into my head from childhood on.

GE made 14 billion in profits and paid 0 taxes the previous year. They still moved jobs overseas and cut jobs.


This was known even back in 1998 and it's gotten worse.

Corporate welfare - November 9, 1998


Can you even bother yourself to do some research?

https://www.creators.com/opinion/dai...n-finland.html

Think by Numbers » Government Spends More on Corporate Welfare Subsidies than Social Welfare Programs


For fucks sake man, educate yourself.

Stop swallowing your party's bullshit whole. CRITICAL THINKING. Try it sometime.
