Is it time to lower the Corporate Tax Rate?

If you cut what the Govt. spends by 40 or 50% it can easily work. Thinking about taxes without spending doesn't work.

 

-- Taxes. Ryan would create a top corporate and income tax rate of 25 percent. Current top rates are 35 percent.

Might I add I'm not a Paul Ryan fan because of this:

Paul Ryan on Bailouts and Government Stimuli
-Voted YES on TARP (2008)
-Voted YES on Economic Stimulus HR 5140 (2008)
-Voted YES on $15B bailout for GM and Chrysler. (Dec 2008)

-Voted YES on Head Start Act (2007)

Paul Ryan on Education
Rep. Ryan went along with the Bush Administration in supporting more federal involvement in education. This is contrary to the traditional Republican position, which included support for abolition of the Department of Education and decreasing federal involvement in education.

Where do you get this? Better yet, what government programs do you cut to get this magical number of 40 to 50%? If you're like Ryan, you cut the programs that the elderly and poor rely on.

Regardless of what you cut you're still taking money away from people who simply don't have it to give with a Flat Tax. The only people who benefit from such a tax are the rich. In fact, cutting spending would make it even worse because now these people who are taxed to death can't afford to live, you just removed all of their social programs that gave them the bare necessities that allowed them to get by. You just created an underclass that's pissed.

It's not about fair; It's about the kind of country you want to live in. I don't want to live in a country with starving, sick people. If I did, I'd move to Mexico.

 

if he disagrees you should probably just put him on ignore list

 

looks like a big pile of cocaine on his desk. is that the way America is going to get out of debt? Didn't Reagan try that once? :yelwink2:

 

You won't have to move to Mexico because the USofA is going to replicate it if the GOP takes the White House and Senate.

 

This country has never and will never be like Mexico. More spending doesn't equal a better place. More govt. doesn't equal a better place.

This whole govt. welfare system is ridiculous.

Cut the services, Cut the taxes, and more people will be better off.
