DR Did you already forget that not only taxes but greedy workers wanting pay raises, more stock options, more medical coverage, longer vacations, etc wanting to become middle class, driving the corporations foreign, lowering prices, fighting inflation and our brilliant Think Tanks saying this is normal progress we becoming a servicing economy and helping other countries aided by Free Trade Agreements with Level Playing fields. What is the difference to a corporation between high taxes and high workers cost? Let us not forget the progress of automation lowering and even eleminating workers cost. What a way to have a strong economy? Last but not least is the expenses of fighting wars we don't win? Comrade B the socialist economist In a message dated 9/23/2014 9:22:49 P.M.

When the financial sector was booming from 1987 through 1989, workers were getting bonuses, overtime and stock options. When the financial sector suffered a downturn in 1990, it trickled down. There were no more bonuses, overtime, stock options and their were layoffs. The economy would be much stronger, possibly even recover by NOT taxing corporations. Exactly the oppasite of what socialists want. We should have a fund (not government funded) for socialists willing to take a course in economy. Remember, in Stanley's words: No taxes on Corporations and they will buy huge yachts. Of course, that provides jobs and money for the yacht builders, and who builds yachts? The workers of course. Stan, are you against yacht yard workers having jobs? Our hero Sam Gompers wanted a "Single Tax" - one tax, that's it, maybe tax on land owned, or as some propose now a "Consumption Tax". I'd support that. Corporate Income taxes hurt most of all the consumers and the workers. David
