No…business leaders will invest when they think they can make a profit…not when they have spare money.

What an idiot.

Rezistik,

You’re an idiot.

I’m going to add this little beauty to my signature in honor of liberal stupidity.

Trickle down economics doesn’t work.

Since the real “trickle down economics” consists of wasteful social programs, that’s true; of all the earnings confiscated from achievers, very little of it trickles down to those who are supposed to be “getting help”. The bulk of it is sucked up by the greedy govt to fund its constant expansion, on all levels. Some wasteful social programs yield as little as 28 cents on the dollar to any qualified(or unqualified, for the most part) recipients. If you subtract the massive fraud from unqualified recipients, it really is “trickle down” in terms of actually producing any benefit to the economy.

Next time I have two minutes you can explain to me everything you know about business.

Investing in the down time is generally the best time to do so. You’re buying in at rock bottom.

In the first place, Rez, there is no such thing as “spare money”, unless you are a panhandler trying to beg for a living rather than doing productive work.
This example just proves that govt spending is never “investment”. Even if these welfare recipients received free money instead of free cars, their spending would not be investment, since that requires putting capital at risk in order to make a profit by creating value that wasn’t there before.

When you are living off the generosity of the taxpayers, there is no risk, since it isn’t your money.
Learn the fundamentals, kid; you’re humiliating yourself here.

Are you kidding me? If in fact this is true, it’s not even politically correct. Giving American Citizens an incentive to go to work and support themselves and their families. This the most crap pot “left winged” logic I’ve ever heard. Again, Are you kidding me? Here’s an idea…. let’s open a bank account, deposit the estimated $6,000.00 for them to use freely. Same logic—- and instead of using taxpayers money, let’s use “left-winged” party members $. Now there’s logic!

It didn’t take two minutes to read, but it still wasn’t worth it.

Great minds… same Autobahn!

there would be more money for them to start businesses and invest.

Because it makes sense to invest at a time when unemployment rates are climbing?

Whistler,

I’m convinced Rezistik just did.

Rez:

Trickle down economics doesn’t work.

WRONG.

If my company has no money left due to skyrocketing taxes, they cannot hire new people. Those of us employed have to do all the work of two or three people just to keep the company floating as that tax burden increases. If the taxes were not so heavy, the work output we do would be worth enough economic power to expand and grow and hire a lot more people.

It is income redistribution and a particularly retarded way of it. They take a lesser amount of money than if they relaxed the tax rates and encouraged the bountiful prosperity of the business activities of the American public, and give a FRACTION of that PITTANCE in welfare and keep the rest for themselves and their political cronies.

You can have six percent of ten million dollars or twenty percent of one hundred thousand dollars. Please Rez, TRY to do the math. And yes, it DOES come down to that kind of difference in income.

You’d swear that these people never played a computer game where they could buy better weapons and equipment as the game went on, but had to watch their finances carefully. One thing it should teach you is that making do when times are tough and maximizing spending efficiency leads to more money later on to do better and more. If government takes that money away, then I won’t have it later to do better and make more.

Heck, a lemonade stand teaches this. One kind I knew growing up saved two summers and spent the money saved on making a really nice semi-perm stand made from wood and aluminum tables and drilled and bolted and everything, sitting on a carefully laid sand bed with patio bricks on top of that. His little brother and then late born little sister both had it there to use and were out earliest and closed up the latest in the season.

The parents began with an investment of whatever the city water cost, a packet of Kool-Aid, and a bag of Dixie Cups. The kids were able to buy them new lawn furniture after five years. Had the parents hounded them for a payback and cut at the start, they’d never have been able to keep up with the demand for the drinks, and had to scale back, and gotten no lawn furniture.

I may be able to collect scrap aluminum, melt it, and cast it and then make it into machine tools on a shoestring, but that’s a hobby. Efficiency in getting work to market means needing the money to get already built Bridgeports and Hardinge lathes, which goes in turn to keep those companies and their suppliers and so on. It’s a flow and if you damn the flow and suck it dry there’s nothing left to do anything with.

Ask Mexico about this vis a vis the Colorado River.

The Lutherans are the kingpins of this abysmal charity.
The state is an accessory.
