We need to have the LOWEST corporate tax rate on the planet to stimulate business growth and investment... that will create jobs and reduce the cost of the goods that we produce. When we reduce the tax burden on industry, they can compete with other countries who actually subsidize key industries. Without our manufacturing base, there is no sizable pool of mid-level jobs between McDonald's and Professional level jobs.
You would think the global-warming crowd would realize that buying goods from communist china causes tons more pollution that if the manufacturing was done here because unlike them, we actually do have and enforce environmental and product safety laws... and each shipping container now costs about $8,000 each to ship from communist china. That's a lot of 'fossil fuels' folks.
Yep, lower the corporate tax rate, kick out the parasitic illegals and put America back to work. We can get ourselves out of ANY jam if our hands are untied and we are allowed to do whatever is necessary to get things done... I mean, we ARE America. I was born the very last year of the "Baby Boom". I am old enough to see what we can do every time we are determined to meet a challenge. I have seen America pull together and heal its' old wounds. I distinctly remember Reagan challenging all of us to do a number of things to get our economy going... We pressured our congressmen and senators to go along with the program and trickle-down worked wonders... I saw it happen.
I am actually going to use an MSNBC clip for this!
