Taxes in the Global Economy - New York Times

Taxes in the Global Economy - New York Times

Why is it a bad thing for corporations or individuals not to pay more taxes. The Times would have you believe that government is the better decision maker for spending. Not true! If U.S. companies that are successful players in the global economy were made less profitable or handicapped by raising U.S. taxes, our whole economy would likely suffer.

The Times would have you believe that more government is better and that Americans are better served by a more socialist society than the one we now enjoy, though it continues moving toward socialism. Yes, jobs are displaced because of the rising tide of other world economies, but the answer is not 'more government.' We are better served by higher quality education, a more uplifting culture and vibrant capitalism at home.

More taxes is exactly the wrong answer.
