But when you have a bad economy that is shrinking, then you do in fact just get the crappy jobs. Economy isn't doing well now is it? Which leaves us with crappy jobs. 2. If you want to pay the people of tomorrow, then you need to create goods and products that can create the money supply. Otherwise, you're just printing money which will render their pensions useless during hyperinflation. Its happened before. You can't print money into a prosperous economy. We don't have a properous economy or else a lot of governments wouldn't be in the mess they are in now. But my idea isn't to print a vast amount of money, but rather an amount that can be distributed without causing an inflation penalty 3. If someone wants to work hard and become ultra-wealthy.....Why should you dis-incentivize them from doing that? The more you tax someone, the less motivation they are going to have to work hard and become rich. That creates huge problems, as many of the wealthiest also (tend to) contribute a lot to the economy. Because you live in a place where you pay a government to run the land. They're the ones in control and if they need more money from the rich, then that's what they have to do. Rich don't like it then move to a place with no government. 4. You prove you don't understand why jobs are being shipped overseas. Yes, they are cheaper over there, but why are they cheaper overseas? If the simple answer was wages, then why did the jobs exist here at all in the first place? Would you like the real reason as to why jobs go overseas? Its not wages. Its regulations and overhead. Right now, it costs an average manufacturer about $15,000 USD in compliance costs per worker per year. If your job has 100 factory workers, then that means you have about $1.5 million USD in compliance costs every year you are here. That forces companies to significantly evaluate where they do business. This is why a country like South Korea is doing so well: Despite having a very modern economy, they are continuing to outpace virtually everyone else. Why? Ease of business & tax code. South Korea is one of the easiest in the world. It makes for more businesses and better ones too. So the fact that Foxcomm pays 2 dollars an hour vs a job that would cost here atleast 16 dollars an hour isn't a deciding factor? Most problems today are because of all this outsourcing. I doubt that paultry overhead is nothing compared to the circular problem of making money off of people buying things. Things people can't buy if they have no money, people have no money cause they have no jobs or poor paying jobs and are just getting buy, a huge manufacturing sector is practically outsourced causing these lack of jobs. This is a huge causality problem that can be easily solved if business men weren't greedy. Oh and jobs existed here before hand cause there was no free trade, it wasn't cheaper to make something over seas cause of the large taxation. That's not the case anymore. |
