Taxes are paid by people whether they are taken out of your paycheck, taken out as a loan from another country, or simply the result of the government printing additional paper to cover its increased costs. The plans of John McCain's that I have seen seem to show greater spending and less taxation, as compared with Barack Obama. This to me implies that Barack Obama is more open about his taxation than John McCain.<br /><br />Obama does target the wealthier of America with his taxes, and I understand the concern, but his plan at least has a 'cash cycle' which I can follow and which makes sense (money goes into the consumer class, it rises up via consumption, and is taxed accordingly). Perhaps this is a failing of my brain, but that system seesm to make more sense tgo me than to give money to the wealthy business types and trust their good will to invest their money in their communities.<br /><br />Incidentally, I have read recently (and confirmed via the Bureau of Economic Analysis website, table 3.9.1), that Democrats in fact have supported smaller government spending over the last 20-30 years than Republicans.Intradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420920711130341735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465218320110051787.post-56198238378222106762008-11-04T19:57:00.001-08:002008-11-04T19:57:00.001-08:00bailey said : Kudlow is an idiot.

What spurs investment is the anticipation of profit. Investors are often very savvy about protecting their initial profits by reinvesting, tax loss carryforwards, etc. So low capital gains tax rates are often post event giveaways for speculative winnings.<br />Putting money into working class Americans hands is clearly a better form of tax relief.<br /><br />In another vein, Kudlow refers to the Bush bull market. I believe this is false. A low percentage of earnings have been returned to the shareholders. This suggests to me a kind of bubble, which eventually must be corrected.

The greatest incentive for investment are investment opportunities that have an expected return greater than a firm's "cost of capital." Those investment opportunities will disappear without a health middle class, with low middle class taxes. If no one is buying your products or services, PROFITS, what Kudlow calls "the mother's milk" of the stock market, will vanish. No self respecting capitalist will invest in plant and equipment under these circumstances only to loose his shirt. So into foreign accounts goes the money again.
