    Once again, less revenues for the government, less resources to be shared among low and middle houseolds, even less public spending available for services mainly used by low and middle income houseolds. Proportionally those who save more money are the ones who have more money to be taxed. A 50$ difference in tax payments for a low income houseold does not hit like saving 1.000$ or 10.000$ for higher incomes if you also loose those services and benefits you received while you were paying those extra 50$ tax.

    Once again a drop in revenue does not mean any of those services are being cut. On top of that if the tax cuts are not renewed the exact thing your hypothetical situation will happen. The government will be taking much needed money from low income families.

    We’ll see how you’ll like price gauging, cartels and lowe safety and quality standards on the goods produced in the USA without any agency enforcing the law against these practices. I mean, if you like lead in your cereals because metals are good for you, enjoy. We’ll see how you like corporations whose only goal is the returns for their shareholders and not consumers’ satisfaction.

    Your ignorance of economics is showing, price gouging doesn’t work in a healthy economy. Then your ignorance of the assortment of agencies besides the useless cfpa that are not being targeted that perform consumer protection is long.

    The fact that those investments do not produce any goods does not mean that there is no ROI. It’s called “influence” and has a huge impact on your trades and relationships with the rest of the world, like it has in your personal life where personally knowing someone and having a good relation with that person can affect how they treat you in a business scenario.

    Influence would be return on investment, countries learned long ago that usaid money didn’t have stings attached. Countries that don’t play ball still get pallets of cash.

    But once more you struggle to understand this concept, maybe it’s not me who’s the one having no human interactions in his life between the two of us?

    It’s funny that a someone who thinks flinging feeces is a form of communication would claim others don’t know how to interact.
