,this is a real life story about government production versus private
production:
I saw Hillary Clinton being interviewed on O’Reilly some years ago. He
asked her what percentage of his income she thought the government was
entitled to. Her answer, after trying to dodge the question, was 70%.
Later in the week, a male employee asked me if I could ever vote for a woman
for president. He had Hillary in mind. I said yes, but not a Hillary
Clinton. Why he asked and I used that example first. He could not understand
why and thought she was correct. So I gave him this example:
I ran two hotels in New Orleans. One of the hotels sold and the owners gave
me a $50,000 “thank you” check. I asked him if by Hillary’s beliefs, the
government was entitled to $35,000 of the $50,000. He said yes and thought
it was fair since this was a bonus payment. In response I broke it down this
way for him.
Liberals ideas for a legitimate breakdown:
$35,000 onetime payment to government to be redistributed for the study of
green house gases in cows belches, payoffs to political cronies, payoffs to
the unproductive, etc. Basically this is just thrown away money. That would
leave me with $15,000 and not enough to start my own business.
Versus a 10% tax,
$5,000 in taxes and $45,000 for me to be able to start my own business. The
taxes were actually a little higher but I still opened my restaurant. In the
first year, this is the breakdown.
$800,000 in sales creating the following comparison for tax revenues:
Over $20,000 in build out taxes
Over $56,000 in sales tax
Payroll of $27,600
Income taxes estimated at $5,000
15 jobs created = additional economic activity
In one year alone, by keeping my money and starting my own business, the
total taxes paid was in excess of $108,000 in the first year alone versus
the onetime $35,000 tax Hillary prefers. The taxes I paid/generated
continued for several years. Hillary wanted her onetime payment of $35,000
versus the other scenario?
She can’t be that stupid, so why make these arguments? I don’t think I
like the possible answers. |
