[quote=sdduuuude][quote=markmax33]Kcal – There are two types of business in America.
1. Crony Capitalism – where people get sweetheart GOV contracts, manipulate the GOV for business advanatages, etc. Haliburton is crony capitalism. The banks are crony capitalism.
2. Real Capitalism – that doesn’t prey on the taxpayer. Apple, Google, Facebook, etc are examples of real captilism. They created a product everyone wanted with ingenuity.
They should outright tax the crony capitalism companies 100% and they should leave the tax rate at 0 for the real capitalism companies. Unfortunately there is a push and pull to put everyone in these groups into the same tax bracket because they are making money. I see why the democrats and republicans are so split on this notion. The democrats see people getting rich off of BS loopholes and want those rich people to share what they effectively stole from every tax payer and the rich that made money legitametly don’t want to be taxed because they will have to kill jobs and won’t be able to compete as well at a higher tax rate.
The democratic position’s flaw is that they want to expand the GOV power which will eventually expand GOV contracts to the crony capitalism crew. This will reduce the competitveness of other businesses as regulations are added because the democrats feel they are getting ripped off and need more taxes. It’s quite a trap.
I’m not defending the republicans either, just explaining why the democrat mentality is flawed.[/quote]
I think you’ve hit it on the head, there mm.
Crony capitalism and union thuggery are the same thing in a different costume.
FLU – just because those companies are improperly valued by the market doesn’t meant they aren’t born from true capitalism.[/quote]
