    The real issue is that we have a rapidly aging workforce and there’s not enough young people to replace them. With the average age of parents raising, the gap is getting larger. In the 50s it was 16 workers for every 1 retired. The 70s, 5:1. That number is now almost 2:1. This is bad. Very bad.

    Higher bar for jobs. Lower wage for entry level. Later retiring age. Higher need for migrant and seasonal workers.





  • Back when there were numerous loopholes, deductions, and methods of evasion and nearly none paid that rate? And when they later lowered effective rates, closed loopholes, and ended up collecting more?

    Yeah, let’s do that. Let’s incentive finding ways to avoid paying taxes.

    This is exactly how you give incentives to higher CEO pay. Record profits? Give all of it to the CEO and you’ll pay none of it to the government. You didn’t mention a higher personal tax rate, so end of the day the CEO wins.

    Own an S-Corp? Pass through all profits to yourself and pay 0%.
