I support free market capitalism.  I would get rid of all corporate taxes across the board to entice businesses to remain in this country and hopefully some that left will return.  That will lead to more jobs and tax revenue as the employees pay taxes.  I would get rid of the income tax, and go to a flat national sales tax.  I would get rid of the minimum wage entirely.  There would be no time and a half rules either.  I would allow the free market to dictate salaries, whether that be someone working for room and board or making millions of dollars a year.  I am about as much of a free market purist as there is, far more so than any candidate that I know of would dare to be. 

I really don't see what Ezra said that would cause you to make that comment.  What would be your idea of "free market capitalism?" 

Free market capatilism does not use the power of the federal government to produce certain actions from companies.

I just don't understand your arguments in a political discussion.  They're just not relevant.

You are the one that brought bullying into the discussion, not me. 

I don't think bully tactics are useful, you do so we yet again disagree.

No.  It means the government doesn't meddle in private enterprise at all.  The only role I believe they have is to stop fraud. 

And abuse

Not in the least, which is why I know bully tactics are good for pumping up the crowd but accomplish very little as they have no teeth behind them.

Listening to the poll tally - it seems like I'm going to be voting for Trump in November.

Two states, one of which he only gained 6 more delegates than Cruz. At that rate he never hits the number he needs to lock down the nomination.

That sounds great, but how do you stop a sovereign nation from implementing a fiscal policy you don't like?

by charging them tarriffs when they bring their products here....   and that is not against our trade agreements if the government decides to do so....   it will raise prices, but between that and getting rid of some off shore tax laws, we could move that manufacturing back here...

Yes some people would be upset because of the rise in prices, but in the long run it is what the nation needs.

It would also be better for us not to be the world's base currency.  This has let us live way above our means far too long.

Your tax plan is the antithesis of free market capatilism 

Free market capitalism disappeared a long time ago, probably at the same time that the world went off the Gold Standard, and resorted to sleight of hand.
