Quote 1:
Well said, Steve, but you will never convince Bill on the FT because he has a convenient answer for everything positive on the FT. His answer always is "everything on the FT website is bogus and self-serving". All the research, all the economists backed papers with solid research, all the proven support, is bogus in the world according to Bill. He only offers his own vague and unsubstantiated opinions or quotes from other FT opponents that have been dispelled over and over in books and research papers.
But Bill will continue because he believes his own rhetoric. Let him have his say, maybe he will go away. |
Quote 2:
Well Joshua, it doesn't scare Bill, he loves our system! |
Quote 3:
Sorry Bill, you are wrong. Items made in other countries still have the costs hidden in them here form the U.S. businesses that sell the items and the employees that do such. Oh and as a side benefit of the FT, inports will be taxed, exports will not, for a change. So we can now stop importing and helping other countries economies and start buying good ol USA again! |
Regarding quote 1 and 2. I would appreciate it if you did not speak for me or tell others what YOU think I think. I am quite able to speak for myself - thank you.
I actually haven't read all the spin on the FAIR TAX proponents web site. I preferred to look up the actual bill that is pending in the US Senate. That bill is s1025. You may read it and compare it to what you are reading in someone else interpretation of it.
Regarding quote 3: Could you please describe what hidden costs are paid to workers in Mexico.
Are you telling me that Zenith pays social security taxes on employees in their mexican manufacturing facility.
By the way, I use Zenith because they were the last TV manufacturer to have a plant in the US but now have moved it to Mexico.
I believe if you refer to your research you will find that payroll taxes are part of the 22% hidden tax? Another part is corporate income tax but the income is only taxed if it is returned to the US.
