The United States needs to develop an industrial policy to make Corporate America want to invest and create jobs in our country.

Budget rhetoric in Washington is askew. Instead of discussing taxes we ought to be discussing the merit of programs and how to pay for them. But programs are never debated.

Higher corporate taxes do not reduce corporate capital formation. They shift it abroad. The result is domestic job losses and lower domestic wages.

How do you think government builds a strong economy? Paying its bills, incentives and enforcing its trade laws to protect investment.

If the president would campaign on competing in globalization he not only could save his reelection, he could save the country.

Instead of making our tax laws competitive, President Obama continues the tax benefit to off-shore or get rid of jobs. Instead of enforcing our trade laws, like he is sworn to do, the president ignores them.

The people have lost control of their government. Wall Street, the big banks, and Corporate America are the biggest contributors to the re-election of the Congress, and their lobbyists have seized control.

Cain is fighting hard, but he will fail. "I'm going to raise taxes on 84 percent of America!" is not the best way to get elected in this country, and it is definitely not the way to win a GOP primary.

President Obama bails the economy boat as fast as he can with tax cuts and infrastructure, but fails to plug the off shore hole in the sinking economy. Shameful conduct! Not on Wall Street, but in Washington.

The president and all in Congress agree on creating jobs -- in China. They get money for that.

Don't give us a long-term plan for future Congresses to pay the debt. Start paying it. Cut out the politics and replace the corporate tax with a 6% VAT. Cut spending and start paying for government.

The U.S. needs a major tax reform that can simultaneously lower taxes overall, produce more revenues and enable fewer if any program cuts -- as happened in during the Reagan administration.

There are limits to how much a government can receive as grants from donors or borrow. So raising tax revenues is a necessary element for governments to spend on providing more of these essential services and, in turn, reduce poverty.

A national value-added tax would keep Americans more attentive to government spending, and it would send a signal to the world that we are serious about deficit spending and debt reduction.
James K. Galbraith | Posted 05.25.2011
The realized budget deficit is an economic outcome, not a policy choice. So long as the economy faces high unemployment, there is no fiscal formula that can make it go away.

What's the matter with America? The most competitive nation in the world is not competing. The most productive nation in the world is not producing.

Our challenge is to ensure that financial institutions bear the direct fiscal costs of any future failures or crises -- and maybe somewhat more, given all the other costs that bank failure can impose on the economy.

My proposal herein is simple. Eliminate the existing U.S. personal and corporate income tax system altogether and replace it with a VAT -- a great tax swap of historic proportions.

The more you consume, the more you pay. Canceling the corporate income tax reduces the cost to all consumers. The 5% VAT is a winner for the poor, the middle-class, and the rich, and it is absolutely necessary in the trade war.
