"Each step was so small, so inconsequential, so well explained or, on occasion, 'regretted,' that unless one understood what the whole thing was in principle, what all these 'little measures'... must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing - each act is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join you in resisting somehow.

You don't want to act, or even talk, alone; you don't want to 'go out of your way to make trouble.' But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That's the difficulty. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves, when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. You have accepted things you would not have accepted five years ago, a year ago, things your father could never have imagined."

Management is the art of ‘people management’. Accountants (Theory X) traditionally aren’t effective at driving revenue streams and maximising the potential of their (human) resources.

Money is not a major motivator for high achievers. The avaricious cannot relate to that.

It's like Jim Jefferies bit on gun control:

"YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE SECOND AMMENDMENT!!!!!"

"Yes you can...it's called an 'Amendment'."

Absolutely.

And it’s been done before - the 21st amendment repealed the 18th amendment on prohibition.

Seems like alcohol is more popular than not having guns.
 
Here is the script of Biden's recent speeches

Okay, i think it's time to take a break from this Thread. We had a couple of hours of reason in this thread yesterday morning, with even people like CM86 taking a strong and accountable stand against violent rhetoric, which was a welcome surprise. Only for it to divulge into more conspiracy theory nonsense, and violent and hateful rhetoric from the left leaning usual suspects in this thread. Pretty sick really, a bunch of unfounded garbage spewed by the scores of brainwashed fools in this thread. i hope you get the help you all clearly need. Bring on a Trump Victory.

You, of all people, apparently being repulsed by conspiracy theory nonsense, hateful rhetoric and unfounded garbage.

Absolutely incredible dude :drunk:

This is the world the Democrats are creating. Thankfully Trump will throw them out this year.
 
Businesses tax cuts help with jobs.

You sure about that?

There has been a lively debate for a while among economists as to whether cutting company tax rates will boost economic growth, employment and real wages – and the extent to which this theory is supported by evidence. But there is no evidence at all to support the notion that preferentially taxing small businesses will do anything to boost “jobs and growth”

https://www.ceda.com.au/newsandreso...mall-business-tax-cuts-aren-t-likely-to-boost

This article strongly suggests that while good producers and manufacturers might see some job creation from corporate tax cuts, tax cuts for companies in the service sector are instead passed onto investors with zero effect on wage bills or employment:

Who benefits most from cuts in corporate tax rates? Some say it is job seekers, while others see it as a giveaway to the rich.

According to a new paper distributed by the National Bureau of Economic Research, they are both correct and wrong at the same time. The truth is what happens depends directly of the type of business.

"Goods producers increase their capital expenditure and employment in response to a cut in marginal corporate income tax rates or an increase in investment tax credits," states the paper titled "Who Gains from Corporate Tax Cuts?" written by James Cloyne at the University of California, Davis, Paolo Surico London Business School, and Ezgi Kurt at Bentley University.

In other words, if manufacturers get a better tax deal, you can expect a boost in the number of people employed in that industry.

However, that's not all companies. Those that don't produce goods respond differently to a drop in the corporate tax rate.

"Companies in the service sector mostly use any tax windfall to increase dividend payouts," the report states. The detail provided is telling, as outlined by the authors:

"Following a 1% cut in marginal tax rates, service sector firms increase dividend payouts significantly and by up to 5%," the report states. "But do not adjust wage bills at all."

America (like Australia) is a largely service based economy. Manufacturing largely left the USA's and our own shores for Asia and Latin America a long time ago.

I struggle to see how tech, oil and gas, resources, motor vehicle etc giants in the USA (who literally manufacture nothing IN the USA) are going to 'create more jobs' in the USA following on from tax cuts. In all likelihood (and supported by the above research) its more likely you'll just see bigger salaries for the CEO's and Executives, and bigger dividends for shareholders.
