What do you think will become of the USA when leftist regain full control?

Campaign reform, like Tort and Medical cost reform, are great ideas but we're talking about having the foxes vote on how best to guard the chicken coop.

 

The only thing I like about California's political system are proposition laws voted on by the public. We should consider having some national ones.

 

I'd support it, but the same problem remains.

 

Yes. But it might be something public pressure could motivate legislators to do. The major problem in Congress is that the law makers want partisan laws. If both sides of the politcal spectrum can't determine that something is to the benefit of the country, it shouldn't become law. Fortunately it sometimes works out that way. Most of the time, law makers are counting prospective votes to see if their partisan approach can happen.

Let the people vote on the partisan ones. There is more common sense in the public.

 

Again, I'd support such an effort.

 

You say Reagan, Bush41, Clinton, Bush43, Obama, and Trump ran deficits. You also mention that Clinton had surpluses (two, and both rammed down his throat by Gingrich). I agree. What's your point?

 

I said business can deduct from taxes normal business expenses. You retorted that business can so deduct normal business expenses from taxation. Huh??!!?? But then you implied that business can finance capital projects with tax free money: so I repeat, NO, they cannot.

Rather than bold unsupported assertions, want to answer my question and try to explain exactly how trickle up works? Trickle down works all the time. It is how we built the middle class through automobiles, steel, railroads (kind of....), electricity, computers, airplanes, washing machines, etc. ad infinitum.

 

I’ll excuse you once for not being able to read, but not twice. The recovery act under OBama allowed tax exemptions for monies used for many capital expenses. It’s a basic and fundamental move in Keynesian economics to promote small business and job growth during recession recovery. Guess you can’t read the references I used. If you did, you wouldn’t keep saying I said it’s a normal yearly tax incentive.
Generally, it shows how out of touch you are with the economy as major businesses were experiencing record NET profits without tax cuts. The tax cuts have not resulted in the kind of investments they were suppose to and never will. They just created a huge deficit that will eventually drain money from the private sector and cause another recession within the next term. It did with EVERY major tax cut. Climbing out when Dems take over will necessitate further deficits which at that time, I expect you to whine even more.

Btw, most states and localities will automatically increase taxes and local fees ( including property and sales) to make up for the lack of federal grant monies and property tax exemptions. Your and small business tax burden WILL NOT GO DOWN when these fking tax breaks take full effect. And, prices will essculate next year as Trump tariffs take effect and the usual mini inflation just prior to a recession will take place....recessions follow republicans like puppy dogs.
