Second most powerful Lobby in DC endorses Fiorina

At this point , expiring tax cuts or tax increase will keep unemployment where it is.People just will not hire in the face of uncertainty.

If you give the rich tax cuts, they can go out and buy another yacht.

Business have the right to make bad decisions.

Of course they do. That's why Fiorina was eventually fired. Let's not forget that at many corporations, the executives are not the majority shareholders (there are a few notable exceptions). So the money a CEO might "waste" is not their money at all, it's the shareholders (owners) money. But it's good to be King (or Queen) of a corporation, especially when you can use "excess" corporate money for executive compensation. That's another good way to "utilize" the savings from sending jobs overseas: a variety of tasty bonuses for executives.

Back when Fiorina was running a corporation, Greenspan probably recommend that companies not give wage increases to the peons. That might create price inflation. Can't have that. They had to get creative with ways to dispose of excess cash. Yachts are a good option.

True, but if they tax the hell out of the rich, they won't tax me. The rich need protection from criminals, and protection cost money. The rich need to pay more taxes to be protected when the shit collapses, and to pay for these wars they started.

That's hard to do. They just create loopholes. And corporations work pretty good for that. Create a corporation, spend the money (expenses). The corp shows zero profits. You pay no taxes. (An oversimplified example).

Protectionists need to take some courses.

Why does it matter what people do with their money/ property? If you think "the rich" will buy more yachts then start selling yachts and take advantage of the new market.

If we create a corporatist society that sets up laws and regulations that benefit the rich and corporations at the expense of everyone else, can you really say it is their money at all?

How does raising the taxes of all "rich" people solve the problem of government subsidies to some large companies? Why not fight to end the benefits the government provides to corporations while fighting for low/no income tax for all (including the rich)?

Send all the manufacturing jobs overseas. We can build an economy based on serving coffee and building websites. We'll also make money by selling our homes to each other. It can't fail!

Taxes are going to go up across the board on everybody next year. The rich Republicans do not want Bush's tax cuts to expire; they want them to be permanent. Yet, it was the rich Republicans who wanted the wars that have finally bankrupted this nation. Let the rich Republicans pay for these wars by taxing them at 90%. When the SHTF, the rich Republicans will be targets fro kidnappings and other crimes. We will have to increase police protection for the Rich Republicans, and this cost more money, which they should pay for.

As far the yachts, I don't believe in trickle-down economics. When you cut taxes for the rich, they don't hire more people or give them raises, they spend it on themselves. If they hadn't started these wars, I wouldn't care.

The rich are the enemy. Why defend the rich? They are the ones who have got us into this mess. They should pay for their crimes by paying higher taxes.

This is correct. One of these evil rich people provides me with a job.I do not want his taxes raised.If they are , it will have an adverse effect on me and all others that work at my company.

Well taxing them or not, is up for the local community or state to decide in my opinion. But I certainly support abolishing all such things at the federal level.

No, it won't. If you are a valuable employee, you will be fine. Your rich employer will have to scale down a little and go from driving a Rolls Royce to a Mercedes Benz.
