Quote:Free markets and free trade aren't inherently the issue. It's just that they are currently designed as one-way streets. We can't trade into China, Japan, Vietnam, or South Korea, but they are free to ship us whatever manufactured goods they want without tariff. A lot of this has to do with unchecked currency manipulation. So why are we even trading with them? Find other trade partners of equal development and PPP.

 

Personally I fail to see how Hillary's tax plan could even possibly encourage growth in the United States. What incentive could their possibly be to start a company or move a company to the United States when you are paying 40% corporate tax rates, 65% upper income rates, and 65% estate tax? I would absolutely move my business or startup in Ireland, Netherlands, or one of the tax haven city-states. This doesn't even take into the fact she is also pro-NAFTA and pro-TPP. I just cant picture the economy growing in any way, shape, or form under her.

 

I don't know where you got those tax rates.   I know, for one thing, the maximum estate tax rate is 40%.   I think the maximum personal income tax rate doesn't go much above about 40%, even with the Obamacare special taxes on passive income.   I agree the corporate tax rate is too high, and makes us a lot less competitive.
