"Taxes take money out of the private sector and thus reduce the pool of capital for private sector job creation. Our taxes go to fund bankers and wars"
This is a nice bit of sleight of hand but in reality our taxes that go to the gov't go back into the private sector, and according to our national debt do so at a greater rate then we take it in. Bankers and the Defense industry are in the private sector. Tax money doesn't just disappear from our economy. Heck even Mr. Bogen probably doesn't complain when he gets a contract for providing A/V systems for schools.
- Ardit20 16y agoThere's private sector and then there's private sector. I am sure we all would agree that it is best to leave the money at the hands of the general population rather than take it from them and give it to a concentrated small elite. Besides, whether it is the private or public sector wasting money on wars it hardly makes a difference. It's the people's money and the people would rather keep it or see it used for more productive ends to benefit all and not some elite.
