- paulgb 8y agoI feel differently about people cutting the immigration line by paying a tax than by loaning money to a high-end development. It's not about what it cost them, it's about where the money goes.
- jp555 8y agoWhere does the money go as tax? Isn’t most of it paid out to private businesses that supply the government? Maybe payroll is a bigger expense?
- Scoundreller 8y agohttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_spending_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_spending_in_the_U... But the government could also cut some other tax, putting a small amount of money into everyone’s pocket relatively equally.
- conanbatt 8y agoThat 0.0001% reduction in income taxes...
- Scoundreller 8y agoBetter than giving a lot of money to a very select chosen few.
- daniel-cussen 8y agoMuch more than that. Comes to around $16 per wage earner.
- conanbatt 8y agoYou can get more by seizing all the property of foreigners directly. After all the US has a strong military.
- Scoundreller 8y agoIsn’t tax vs investment a qualitative issue? We’re talking about direction, not number of dollars.
- conanbatt 8y agoTax dollars go everywhere and anywhere (and often nowhere). To the visa buyer its irrelevant, it has the same cost wherever it goes.
