No, I get that corporations have great incentive to maximize profits. But all the farming for lower corporate tax rates is already done. There are more than twenty countries with a 0% corporate tax rate, and yet we still have corporations here in the US. When Trump lowered the corporate tax rate, we didn't suddenly gain new corporations from other countries.

It's not that Democrats don't understand your logic. It's just been shown to be false. "Trickle-down" economics never worked, and the Laffer Curve is a silly mental exercise. Since Reagan, the national debt has increased to unsustainable levels, and all the easy spending cuts have already been made. If anything, raising the corporate tax rate to 29% isn't enough.

That is some backwards logic… or typical democrat logic.. just like in California, minimum wage gets so high the employer can’t afford to pay as many employees so guess what happens next.. unemployment for many.. this kind of logic is part of the problem that the democrats can’t seem to realize.. how many poor people have you been hired by. When a employer pays you to do work for him that is trickle down economics..

No, that's not how it works. If it were that wages were too high, the jobs would've left long ago. California's always paid more than other countries, and the minimum wage in other states is still lower, but the companies aren't all leaving, or even all paying the minimum. It's the job, and the pay is where the employer and employee meet.

As for poor people hiring, I've been employed by lots of places where they're worth less than $10 million, or even the $100 million point where the proposed wealth taxes would kick in. Except for the biggest companies, I usually have no insight of what the employer is worth. I had one job where my last paycheck didn't cash, so I guess that counts as a poor company.

Corporations not the government are responsible for high prices. Much of what people buy regularly is controlled by a handful of companies. These have been caught price gouging the American people with Krogers admitting it.
CEO's looking to keep their cushy jobs and especially their bonus's are responsible.

Regarding the 'failed immigration policies' of the Biden administration. There was a border bill but it was shot down by Republicans obeying Trump. Why take care of a problem when you can scream about it. Passing the bill would have made the Biden administration look good and that would have removed the only talking point the Republicans and Trump have. Fear and hate of those that different are the mainstay of Trump's rallys and speeches/intervies.

LOL yea right, after 3.5 years and 12 million or more illegal immigrants let into our country and bleeding our cities of resources that low income Americans can’t get because the democrats want to give those resources to the immigrants. And 6 months before the election the dems want to all the sudden secure the border. To little to late for their optics of concern over the border catastrophe..no bill passed since Biden has been in office has made him look good. His bidenomics bill that has burdened Americans is what’s killing our economy but they say they are proud of it…

CEO's have admitted to the gouging. Republicans have admitted that Trump killed a bi-partisan border bill that the Border Guard Union approved and endorsed. The amount of disinformation, much coming from Russia, that is being spread by Trump, Vance and MAGA supporers defies the truths that are verified.

Can't wait until Trump is just a footnote in history. What a complete d-bag.

He's just a Putin wannabe and supporter. I can't believe half of Americans, of all people, would root for this guy.

All he seems to be doing is blaming immigration for any problem that exists in the US, all the while ignoring the reason countries have immigration in the first place which mostly is to bolster the population which in turn grows the economy so everyone ultimately benefits. Your country is pretty much built on immigration, isolationism would just put the US on a track to self destruction. In no way, shape or form is it the way forward in this day and age, for any country.

Might be time to wake up and use some well needed critical thinking. You don't have to be a psychologist to realize this "man" is just out for himself.

He's so far away from being a responsible leader that if it were up to me I'd rather put a toddler in the chair than him. He's a convict that refuses to accept punishment for his crimes, crimes he was convicted for by a jury comprised of ordinary American citizens. Let that last bit sink in.

The latest debate should've been the last nail in the coffin. Kamala showed the world how easy he was to rattle and manipulate. Is such a person really the one you want at the helm when the world have leaders like Putin, Kim Jong Un and Xi? All of whom he adores by the way. He's always bragging about his relationship with them and give them praise occasionally. Major red flags.

All he wants is money, status and power. There has never been a time when he hasn't strived for these things, it's all he cares about and he will wade through blood if need be to obtain it, just look at Jan 6.

Boy am I glad to not be part of that mess even if the outcome will affect me indirectly. I am glad that such a person would never even come close to a position of power in my country. He'd already be in jail where he belongs, with all the other criminals.

I sincerely hope you guys come to your collective senses and gets rid of him, once and for all. You deserve much better, like Kamala.

The reasons are far from unknown. I've already stated in my post one of the main reasons as to why your country and our countries in Europe have immigration. Immigration is a boon, not a bane.

If you don't want immigration then make more babies. We're not talking about 2-3 children per couple either, you need a lot more than that to keep up with the rest that continues to make good use of immigration.

A higher population equals a stronger work force, a stronger work force equals a stronger industry, a stronger industry equals a stronger economy and a stronger economy equals more power on the global stage.

People is a resource, it's one of if not the main reason Russia even invaded Ukraine in the first place, to take control of Ukraine's population. Russia doesn't care about NATO, otherwise they would've gone absolutely mad when we and Finland joined just recently, especially when Finland joined. Yet they did absolutely nothing to stop it.

Immigration is the reason the US is as successful as it is as a nation. You've literally siphoned a lot of talent from other parts of the world because it is the smart thing to do to get ahead. Julius Robert Oppenheimer, the American who invented the nuclear bomb had his roots in Germany through his father for example. He was the child of an immigrant and he made you into a superpower.

Being of North American descent means you belong to one of the native tribes. Most caucasian Americans most likely have their roots in Europe or Eurasia. A simple DNA test proves it.

Hardly any one of you is related to the first settlers, it's only around 500~ years ago, during the 1500s. That's only about 20~ generations, give or take.

As I said, the country is built by immigrants. So if almost everyone in the country is an immigrant or a descendant of one, why is it then considered a bad thing to allow immigration?

Shouldn't you have completely open borders to further solidify your position on the global stage? Considering it has done wonders for your country so far throughout your history.

Just look at what is happening in Japan due to their lack of immigration.

If you paid more attention to the rest of the world you might learn more about yourselves in the process. Stop being ignorant, it serves no one, least of all yourselves.
