i agree with him on the corporate tax hike, and not much else.

i'm glad he's clarifying his budget stance. it's just a question of people knowing what they're voting for.

So you're for a tax hike that may very well be the straw that broke the camel's back, forcing corporations to relocate to other countries, taking those jobs with them?

Because that what will happen as a result. MARK MY WORDS.

you know, i'm not really that concerned about that. there's two reasons.

the first is that a lot of our economy is resource-based. that means that we have the leverage, not them. we can tell them that if they don't want to pay their taxes, then they can't access our resources - and award contracts to other companies that are willing to pay the taxes. you've got the whole thing backwards, when it comes to resource-based economies.

the second is that i think workers should run their own industries, anyways. such a policy may make investment here less attractive for hierarchically organized foreign corporations, but i don't want an economy driven by hierarchically organized foreign corporations - i want a society driven by horizontally organized local corporations. i would say "good riddance" - and "let's build a better system".

we control what we produce. we control what we buy. we are not the whim of imaginary market forces. and we really need to remove the mental shackles of pretending that we are.

of course, none of the parties are proposing this. and, the constitution specifies "natural persons" for a reason.
