BigDrop Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 10 minutes ago, Horsefly said: The fundamental law of capitalism is the more money in the hands of workers, the more customers businesses will have. Thus, job creation comes from additional customers and meeting the increased demand for products and services. Yes. And I will add this: if America puts any tax on a product manufactured offshore a significant percentage of that tax will be passed along to American consumers. The more expensive it is the less likely it will be purchased. The fewer products purchased, the fewer jobs sustained. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a cum lauded graduate in economics and have a graduate degree from a top 5 b-school in finance You? i gave you an report from the Cato institute; you gave me a poster You get 100 economist in a room and they will rarely agree on solutions. Trickle down only works for people that have money. Ask any person without money if they feel trickle down works. Ask the rich, they will say it does. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out it's complete hogwash. Cut taxes means bigger deficits. Less social programs means more crime. Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also a proud graduate of top military organization in the world, USMC boot camp, MCRD, San Diego. Add to that USMC Scout/Sniper school, Basic Reconnaissance Course, Jump School, Scuba School, Pathfinders, Jump Master, The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Education, the FBI National Academy, also currently ranked as a 7th degree red/black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and I can still pierce Lady Libertys ear on a Morgan Silver Dollar at 300 meters with a Remington-model 700, .308 caliber. Thanks for asking. Now, are we finished comparing peckers? And BTW, consumers create jobs, not CEO's. I'd think a big time economics nerd would know that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
954gator Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'll say one thing...our system is shit. They divide us so easily. Both sides are to blame. All effort is spent on winning elections and not on doing the jobs they are elected for. Once again, I say both sides. Divided we fall, united we stand. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll remember this bullshit the next time I see his ass refer to Obama as "Barry" or "Hussein" or whatever other BS name he has for em. One clearly has issues to bow down to a man like Trump but step on someone like Obama. Common sense tells me everything I need to know about little Jimbo.

See obama -- biggest taxer and deficit creator in history -- raise your hand if you think that's a coincidence your assumption in cause and effect on social programs is interesting, but I'd contend the opposite -- would be interested if you had any support for your assertion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you can shoot, fuck, and kick ass Ill concede yours is the bigger dick, but not sure what that has to do with economics if we're just throwing resumes out there, I've added stuff in the last 30 years too i know a lot of people that went to school in Corvallis -- they're all very nice a big time economics nerd knows when they're engaged with someone who is in over their head on the subject PS. I respect your service very much PPS. Stop shooting Morgan silver dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
