A Tax that Kills

Day 568, 21:40 • Published in USA USA • by dustinmp9

First i would like to point out that some people thought that my first paper needed some changes about the info on the inport tax, well I'm hear to hopefully reason with the masses and bring them down to a more Earthly state, and possibly bring them around to see the errors in their ways.

Second, I would like to state that i do not currently own a business, but i was planning on doing something along those lines. In fact, i was planning to create a moving ticket business, get some workers, raw material, gain a bit of cash, cut me a slice of American Dream Pie.

I was going to do this up until the current congress slashed import taxes, 20% down to 1% which in theory, could create the perfect condition for a free market, coolest thing ever right? In the real world you bet your bottom dollar it is, and however close this game mimics that real life scenario, it isn't.

Several days after the lowering of the Inport tax one could hardly call "Protective", not a single other country has joined in the lowering of the moving ticket, wood, or any other industry's income tax. Is it the competition to see who can lower the Tax the most with the worst consequences first, not sure but it looks that way.

I would like everyone to take a look at the Moving ticket industry in the eUS today. Once prosperous, each ticket selling from between 11 and 13 usd, now selling at a near 9 dollars, and while that doesn't sound like much, many owners are facing problems, cutting employees and slashing wages just to stay afloat.

This is a market for consumers, and the lower prices can be a good thing, but only for the select few who are 1. born rich and never have to work to earn money, or 2. the foreign company who can ship the rest of their product here. The Business owners in the eUS are losing money to the over seas companies, and that means in an attempt to keep up with the dropping prices, must also drop prices. With less money coming in he or she can no longer afford to pay the workers their salaries, which then he much slash to continue making money.

Besides, with all of the new Military programs popping up, the need for more money is going to become an issue. The low inport tax will no longer feed the growth of the government, and essential programs like Meals on Wheels could lose money or be cut, a reality me might be facing someday.

Hopefully this will never come to pass, and all will be corrected when the Income Tax gets raised. Then the wave of prosperity will flow in, and until that day keep hoping that the congress of these great states does nothing else to threaten our way of life.
