I have a great family, we love to debate various issues, and I find that our diversity of opinion is often quite inspirational. Most recently a chain of emails about the new tax laws in the USA. My personal feeling, it's important to be aware, but it's more powerful to take action.
If you think about it, corporate taxes are like double tax. Why does a company get taxed if they show a profit and want to re-invest rather than take it out as bonus or salary. If you take it out, yes, tax, but why tax company profits if the money goes back into the company? Even if the profits just sit and gain interest, still available for pay out for others. The more money that stays in the company, smart business leaders will use that money to grow the business, creating more jobs, more profits, and eventually more payout, which means more income available for taxes. If you are not a smart business leader, the business fails. Eventually we all benefit from smart companies rather than dumb ones. If the consumer thinks a company is bad, then they should don't buy the product or service. If the consumer thinks another company is really good and they notice that there is a community of companies that all support what they believe in, how cool would it be if consumers could connect those companies somehow, and offer those companies an opportunity to reward the people who bought from all of them, strengthening their economy and possibilities to grow and improve. How cool would it be if someone was working on creating such a tool? I wonder if it's Gratifu?
