@ 2010GOP “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States.” I’m sure if you google that quote you’ll be able to figure out where it came from.

Runes: I do know what I am talking about — I look at facts, statistics & history

There’s a delicate balance on the amount of Govt intervention/taxes — a balance that creates prosperity. That balance is outlined in our Constitution which is how the U.S. became a prosperous nation in only 233 years. Liberal policies have erroded through the years

European countries have identified that balance — take a look domestically as well & ask yourself why ‘Red’ states are stronger economically

@alexeipg Most European countries have large centre-right and centre-left parties, which is why this guy might be fooled into thinking that theres a changing in course since in Europe both parties will get time in government from time to time.

@2010GOP Actually, no offense but you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Lower taxes does not always lead to stronger economies, to try and make that conclusion is childish, simplistic and shows little understanding of economy.

I actually like the idea of the invisible hand, but im a realist. Theres cases in which lowering the taxes too much is detrimental.

Look at the miracle of Chile, for an example of how an economy can collapse under too little economic intervention.

Switzerland is …
Switzerland is where U.S. corps go to evade taxes! The U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate is 35 %, but the effective corporate tax rate has averaged just 26 % since 1993. Corporate tax receipts dropped from an average of 4.8 % of GDP during the 1950s to 1.3 % of GDP in FY2003 while payroll taxes increased from 1.6 % of GDP in FY1950 to 6.8 % of GDP in FY2002. In other words, the burden has been shifted from rich to poor.

The countries you mentioned have better healthcare than us too.

The U.S. is the 2nd highest in the world:

Switzerland, which is 23rd, is successfully campaigning for corporations to relocate there, including U.S. corps — they understand competition, the need to keep tax rates competitive, including offshore.

Democrats want to tax everything into oblivion & create corporate villains into the minds of the less educated

Care to share with me what the actual corporate tax rates in those countries are? They’re still way higher than those in the U.S., where two-thirds of our corporations paid NO federal income taxes between 1998 and 2005.

my dad is one of them. i’m constantly shocked how he trusts EVERYTHING this charlatan says and never checks out one thing for facts. if something beck says is refuted, he simply doesn’t believe it. very, very frightening, and Beck knows he has these people eating out of the palm of his hand.

Ok, I’m confused. Glenn Beck makes a jab at Obama for “community organizing” (and the audience claps and hollers at the clever reference), yet he’s also serious about ACTUALLY community organizing… So, it’s a good thing?

Beck community organizing = O.K.!
Obama community organizing = NOOOOOOO >: (

Think of how the USSR, China, Nazi Germany, and Fascist Italy brainwashed their own kind, its called “RE-education” people, and Beck wants to bring it to America, like he claims that Obama wants to bring Canada’s so-called “socialized medicine” to this country we love! Watch more CNN!

The only reason you would have to educate someone is if you think they are ignorant to a certain issue, so therefore Glenn Beck must think that his followers are ignorant to the facts which indeed they are!
