Walmart says it will kill plans to build 3 new stores if DC wage bill passes

Years ago when I got my undergraduate degree I had no idea the faculty were all liberals, with a sprinkling of socialists, Marxists, liberals and communists. I was too busy trying to find some girl to sleep with to notice.
When I got my Masters degree I knew that more of the professors were liberals, socialists and so forth. I was taking courses more technical and less subject to nonsense. Even my honors military history courses were bereft of the America-haters.

I survived. I thrived.

Not everyone is so fortunate.

What college did you go to!? I would love that school! Cuz 95% of my professors to share **** when they talk about their political affiliation or lecture!
 
When you compare federal receipts to GDP, get back to me. Then, we can have a real discussion.

Tax revenue goes up when the rate is lowered. This has been proven true over and over in our history. When you can refute that, get back to me.

Real Revenues per capita grew less during the period 1980-1988 (19 percent) than revenue growth in the period 1972-1980 (24 percent) and much less than Clinton's time in office.

Not tax revenues. You're confusing things.
 
You sound like Krugman now.

Clinton was affected by the .com bubble....forget about that?

Our economy is effected by bust and booms much more than tax policy. You're point about tax policy is not proven.

Yes it is. I'm talking about tax revenue and nothing else. You keep trying to throw in other factors unrelated to the tax rate.

The point is you can't use one factor or if you do it is a dishonest debate.
 
Cant believe this thread is still getting replies. how do you libs keep defending the actions of D.C. City Council's when them selves don't pay all their employees the so called 12.50 living wage? How can they justify those actions when they wont follow it them selves? just more left hypocrisy do what i say not what i do
 
You know - it just occured to me how funny this is:

A lot of businesses oppose Walmart's efforts to build in various places . . .they've gone to extreme lengths to keep them out.

When talking about taxes you can. The only thing dishonest is feigning talking about the tax rate, then throwing in other factors to argue against it.

Your example specifically showed a graph related to taxes and government receipts. Perhaps, you need to review.
 
I want to know why using a retail sales tax is better than a value added tax. Specifics please. TIA
I have already told you. If you plan to steal from me you come and look me in the eye.

A value added tax is intended to lie about the magnitude of the tax and its origins. It is a lie, a fraud, in short it is something a ruler does to the ruled.

Huh? Perhaps, you should read this What is a Flat Tax? (Surprise! It is a VAT) - Forbes only the so called 'Fair tax' allows deductions on capital--they should call it the unfair tax.
