the tax system has traditionally been designed to foster capital investment through lower corporate and capital gains rates. Thats why the corporate tax rate has shrunk as a total piece of the pie in that graph. But (I think) with W2 jobs outpacing the business startups and corporations over the last 50 years, that graph is now a bad thing now that payroll taxes are taking up a larger piece of the total tax revenue pie.

Since I believe there's a consensus that corporate tax revenues are too low, what if we did something really profound to raise total revenues -- like made the US a tax haven and nation-wide free trade zone?

No, let's just raise corporate taxes. It's worked so well so far.

The consensus is:

I didn't have dick with the former tax structure

I won't have dick with the future tax structure




just sayin'

I always thought it was funny that the goobermint actually thinks corps will just take increased taxes lying down. Like these corps are sitting around thinking "yes increased taxes, its for the good of all and we are more than happy to pay it!"

Corps have the money and the wherewithal to avoid tax increases, taking the money out of the US is one way.

Corps dont take this sort of thing lying down and why should they, why should anyone?

The answer is simple: I'd raise corporate taxes another 5%-10% so they'll shift their profits overseas even more aggressively.

The answer here is also simple. Don't buy any Apple products....
Or other companies products who don't support American workers and the American economy

Yeah, let's all fight the free market!

That will turn out well.

But I thought Apple was a bastion of progressive free thinkers, free spirits, and washed in a sea of liberal blue? So now they are just another greedy tax dodging corporation ?
