Moving the goalposts, are ya? You do realize a "small business" can also be a corporation, right? Look up S Corp and C Corp. By your argument, LLCs don't pay taxes because the tax structure of an LLC is "pass through". Look it up. I did. By the way, less than 20% is not "most". And that's "effective" tax rate. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/16/these-91-fortune-500-companies-didnt-pay-federal-taxes-in-2018.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, you don't work, you don't eat. We have many charities that can feed and house our poor. It is not the Governments job to do so especially if they are physically able to work. Having numerous children is not an excuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks who stay out of trouble tend to go further than habitual troublemakers. Bad choices early on lead to bad results later down the road. By the way, Gladys, I have no higher education experience, (college, trade school, etc.) other than the best school there is; “The School of Hard Knocks”, & yet, I was always able to support my family & keep them fed. My family consisted of My wife, my daughter, & myself; I would never bring a child into this Life that I couldn’t support... Nobody should; nor should children be brought into this world for the “Tax Breaks” they provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightStar11 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 On 12/25/2019 at 4:56 PM, DaveTV1 said: Their unions are to blame the same with their over pricing. Who can afford many of the American made cars today ? Many of them are what the cost of a house was in the 80's. I bought my first brand new car in 1989, and then it was cheaper than a brand new house in the mid 60's. The unions are killing the American auto industry, and as NightStar11 pointed out they have so many recalls on them not just air bags in recent years. They've done it to themselves. Dave, did you see the documentary where the union worker said they sabotaged cars to get back at owners during the strikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've managed to do well enough for myself that my wife can stay at home and she doesn't have to work. I got skills as a software engineer. I make decent money. That's not to brag, just a factual statement. I took one semester at a junior college years ago, and I've taken a couple of extra college classes since then, but I don't know that any of them have actually helped me with my career. And in my line of work, I'm constantly having to learn. I've been able to afford things that I didn't know if I would be able to at points in my life, and I can also do various hobbies that I like.

Prior to my stroke in 2017, My base pay was $86k per year, throw in OT from callouts & I averaged over $100k for 4-5 years, & my wife was able to stay at home; after my stroke, I was put on SS Disablity & my employment was terminated, which caused her to have to go back to work so she would have Insurance benefits. I have had good jobs with benefits since 1992. The old man who raised me worked his tail off doing several things until he could no longer work. He & my Mom instilled a strong work ethic in us kids... Companies like to hire folks who don’t mind working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some are saying it's bad, but they've been doing this since it started. Germany has already opened back up as well so I'm sure they'll climb on the Economic front.
