The Eternal Thread - So NSG, What's Going On?

[New England and The Maritimes]

Taxing people could be said to be necessary for a complete economic recovery.

Of course, that depends on how much.

With the high unemployment we have, and the damage he did the the rainy day fund our state had, you've have to tax all the wage earners at 85% to get out of this hole.

Massachusetts will come out of this just fine. Taxes on all levels should remain at the same marginal rates for wage earners, should be raised on capital gains, and should be extremely heightened for large corporations, while the gains there should be lowered for smaller business owners.

From there, we simply rely on credit and let the growth of the economy fill the budget naturally.

[Coffee Cakes]

Then we won't be digging out of it for a decade...

Did you just advocate high taxation?

It would appear so, but that was more a comment on the current policies of those in office up here.

Who the fuck are you?

[Yuktova]

Indeed we do.

Hmm. I think I should run for governor one day... Under my own party, of course.

Can't do worse than Mitt and Deval.
You have my vote.

Thanks!

I'll prolly run under the Scientific Party or something. It'll mainly focus on improving agriculture, using the "Finnish model" of education (low stress, co-operative learning, individualized tests, ect.) make higher learning more affordable, make healthcare cheap and affordable, ect.

I admire the optimism.

As far as the policies, I disagree with drastically increasing taxes on corporations, but do support a small hike... and a small hike in capital gains taxes... I'd say I like about half that plan. Not a bad start.

I don't know, we should kill him fast, or at the very least torture him to learn the location and helaht of the real CC.

I myself wouldn't go under any party. I would be an independent, not running under any political card but my own personal beliefs.

When I say extremely, I mean that in the context of policy. Most corporations which make tens of millions or higher have negligible marginal rates. I support drawing around 20% of their operating profits and using the windfall from that to lower taxes on smaller businesses. As for capital gains, I support raising it to about 35%, which is in line with average income tax for wage earners.

That's what the Scientific Party is. It doesn't exist...yet...

Something I noticed: increasing taxes on corporations on a state-level seems to drive them away. Increasing taxes on corporations on a national-level won't do much.

As long as you don't raise taxes, count me in.

Eh, I prefer running on my own accord. I would trust no one as I strive to achieve my ultimate goal: the position as ruler of America.

That's one reason why the South isn't hurting quite as bad as the rest of us.

Nice try, but you'll have to be more convincing than that.
