- i can see how lower taxes increase company profitability but how do lower taxes increase productivity? generating more product does not increase demand - increased demand generates more product supply, even if a business has to borrow money to increase supply...if the demand is there, it will be met...nobody walks out of walmart empty handed because corporate taxes are too high

decreasing taxes can increase demand, especially among the lower and middle classes who spend almost all of their disposable income...obama claims that he will reduce those taxes...YAY! decreasing taxes to the rich doesn't increase demand because they can already buy everything they need, and they still have high savings rates...the trickle down tax cuts for the rich theory is dead
Joe has a small business that is over $250,000. He NOW has to pay for health care and also is getting nailed for higher taxes. Joe has to lay off one or two people in order to make his company solvent. How much of their unemployment check will be spent at Walmart?

Have a good one!:s4:
