Mine was very serious, but admittedly has more to do with it being his fifth year of undergrad than his political opinions.

So did Reagan.

Your responses on this page are as scatter-brained and non-sequitur as they come.

[non-sequitur -- something said that, because of its apparent lack of meaning relative to what preceded it, seems absurd to the point of being humorous or confusing. ]

The corporation would just have to consider something like 25% of executive payroll as revenue and pay taxes on it.

So, extra costs for Jane Consumer either way...

You do understand that people have been compensating "executives" (I'm sure your definition will be super flexible) with non cash compensation like stock options for as long as all of us have been alive?

Cue the want to tax unrealized gains (money that doesn't actually exist yet.)

So what's your solution to your son's beliefs?

We are going to do what we have always done when we think one of our kids are making bad decisions.
I am going to continue to talk to him about the reality of socialism, I sent him several studies about what socialism did to Venezuela where 97% of the population lives in poverty. He thinks we will all be living the best life, in the same home we live in now, driving the same cars we do now, eating the same food we do now, etc.

What we will not do is cut off his tuition, which is already paid through graduation and his rent. He pays for everything else, food, entertainment, car insurance and maintenance.

When he graduates with this high paying job, he will not be living in the same town as we do, he will get his own apartment, pay his own bills, and get an idea of what the real world is like. I hope this will open his eyes.

Extremely inflexible actually. Officers only

And as a business owner, what do you do when your cost of business increases? Do you and your family skip meals, or do your kids have to wear last year's school clothes? Do you sell your car and ride the bus to work? Or do you charge your customers more for your product to cover the additional cost? Does your bottom line give a damn if the additional cost is because of the cost of raw materials or the government stealing more of your money?

Corp tax rate was 35% like 5 years ago. I'm not talking about disenfranchising businesses, I'm saying we roll all that back to when our economy was functioning and try to limit the amount of money companies can hide. The last bit because it's just gotten out of hand in todays era. This wasn't as rampant prior to the 1980's and the business owners still put food on the table.

I could pay 35% on my taxable revenue and still be doing well. After normal deductions it aint much. Typically speaking, a company making $3.5M in Revenue pays taxes on around $600,000 in revenue. It's not going to break the bank for small business and it will help a lot for giant ones.


ETA: Again, just one aspect of a much larger whole. a vast amount of Government programs should be rolled back, several departments need to be chopped up, flipping to flat tax and canning the IRS would solve much of a lot of it too. There's a lot of ways to skin this cat
