Price too high revenue goes down, price to low revenues not maximized. Tax rates will always be a moving target that need to be raised or lowered (and a whole lot of other things) to maximize revenues and encouraging productive behavior, without disturbing the economy as a whole.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-81784351504268698392017-03-01T21:25:39.633-06:002017-03-01T21:25:39.633-06:00I think they are very loose and misleading with th...I think they are very loose and misleading with their numbers, but the point is taken.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-62801286140745289422017-03-01T21:12:23.040-06:002017-03-01T21:12:23.040-06:00It was a simple google search:

Even if others might show numbers different by 20 or 30%, the point is taxpayers help, in various ways, to subsidize big business.<br /><br />Lowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-77120460038222944612017-03-01T20:41:59.940-06:002017-03-01T20:41:59.940-06:00I'm tired of hearing about tax cuts.

I just want corporations and other businesses to pay their fair share.

Google shows me this: <br /><br />In fiscal year 2015, the federal budget is $3.8 trillion. <br /><br />Hard to believe that almost 1/6 of the total budget goes to subsidize those four industries.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-38357178359797370052017-03-01T20:28:21.573-06:002017-03-01T20:28:21.573-06:00Thank you for the pass Professor Hagy. ;) Thank you for the pass Professor Hagy. ;) Lowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-44135828883125132272017-03-01T20:24:49.642-06:002017-03-01T20:24:49.642-06:00There is no rule which says you can not end a sent...There is no rule which says you can not end a sentence a preposition with.
