How will raising corporate taxes and forcing unions on companies keep and attract jobs here in the USA?

Question

Can one of you smart Hillary supporters explain that to me? I listened to her speech, I don't get it.

Answer 1

It won't but what difference does it make. They send jobs overseas and still get tax breaks here. I say off with their heads.

Answer 2

um um um    Power to the People!

Answer 3

It's basic economics.  Increase the cost of something, increase the demand for it.  Look at increases in the minimum wage.... no unskilled workers ever get the boot when companies are forced to pay more for their unskilled labor.

Answer 4

Well bubba, that's a democrat issue and Hillary isn't the nominee; so maybe you should ask that of Obama supporters.

Answer 5

Come on don't you understand Liberal math?

Answer 6

Gosh all Friday....where have you been?  Corporations don't pay taxes, at least not enough to impact anything important.  If you noticed that since the decline of unions corporations have been making so much money that don't know what to do with it.  Mostly they use their tax breaks and cheap labor to buy out other corporations to increase market share.  They don't add jobs here so why this big defense of these bloodsuckers?  We're talking about buy outs that cost dozens of billions.  Meanwhile the consumer base in the US is falling apart.  If it wasn't for credit who woujld be able to buy anything except the basics?  Way back in the fifties and sixties corporations paid a 90% top rate and a union worker could afford a stay at home wife, a couple of kids, a nice house and two cars.....try that today!  The right wing blather about corporate taxes and union labor is just goofy hot air.  Some of us remember when workers were paid well and corporations still made huge profits...taxes or no taxes.  Responsible globalization had some merit, but now its just a cult run by Warren Jeff type people.  Turn this thing around and quick or the US will be the next 3rd world country...I kid you not!

Answer 7

Nobody is raising the corporate tax rate.

As for unions, when 50% of our workforce were unionized the middle class had a bigger share of wealth in this country. As union memberships declined, the portion of wealth controlled by the middle class has also declined. See the relationship?

Answer 8

Um....sorry, can't come up with anything.  It will only encourage companies to seek for workers elsewhere.  Also, taxing oil companies will only make the oil companies raise gas prices.  I might not be a Democrat, but surely they understand these most basic of concepts.  I don't believe that they are really that stupid.  Therefore, I can only conclude that there is some sinister agenda behind these decisions.

Answer 9

No Democrat has talked of raising corporate taxes.  Obama has talked about eliminating the Bush tax cuts and raising tax on individuals making over $250K.

Also no one has ever advocated forcing unions on companies.  Now giving employees an option of joining unions, free from the threat of job loss, is entirely different.  Mandatory union membership would never be, and never has been required.

I think you don't get it because you have some extremely selective hearing and poor interpretive skills.

Answer 10

You obviously were listening to another speech.  

but, I agree, you dont get it.

Answer 11

IT WON'T! Hahahahaha. they are sooo dazzled by her talking, they don't even listen to the actual words coming out of her mouth...

Answer 12

corporations are not paying their fair share.  The amount of tax revenue from corporations is lower now than it was 70 years ago.  Yet corporate income is far higher than it was 70 years ago.
