If Blue states are so anti-business, then why are so many prominent businesses headquartered in blue states? A large chunk of tech companies are headquartered in California, and Washington.
This is kind of nonsensical. If rich people were so unconcerned about taxes, because they'd just pass them on, then why do they fight taxes so much? There's this very common fallacy when people talk about money as if it's some kind of stagnant number. Money moves around. When governments give food stamps, they are indirectly giving that money to grocery stores, they pay their employees, etc. Those employees buy cars, services, etc. Money moves around. Even if rich people get every single dollar back, these programs are shown to have very good effects on the economy, and how much people are able to get - what kind of life they're able to live.
Plenty of liberals don't favor open borders. Obama deported millions. The issue is the inhumanity. Illegal immigrants are treated worse than murderers and rapists. And there's a lot of misinformation on how illegal immigrants affect the economy, housing, lies about how they collect government benefits, etc. |
Corporations have to spend a lot of time and effort restructuring their business to account for corporate taxes. In the short run they take a hit but in the long run it is the middle class who gets punished. When the government give food stamps, they are artificially increasing the price of food significantly and taking middle class tax money. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Illegal immigrants do hurt the economy overall. For example, they are undercutting hard working Americans and a lot of illegal immigrants work under the table. Also, a lot of their families are still back in Mexico where taking care of them is a lot cheaper than here in America. Giving them an unfair advantage.
Biden was Obama's puppet and created one of the worse situations for illegal immigration we have ever seen.
