raising taxes hurts working people and scares away jobs

Raising taxes hurts working people and scares away jobs.

Reasons to agree

  1. Ireland lowered taxes, and brought all sorts of jobs there.
  2. We can't get red of all taxes, but relatively speaking, the higher taxes, the less money companies have to hire people. You say, yes, but taxes can be given to working people. The question is who gives money to working people more efficiently: businesses through jobs or government through handouts. Handouts usually go to the very poor, discourage work, not working people, and they often reward laziness instead of rewarding work. 
  3. If New York has a lot higher taxes, people will move their worldwide headquarters to Houston or London.  

 

Reasons to disagree

Motivation of those who disagree:

A little more context:

 

"I said no to a tax hike; raising taxes hurts working people and scares away jobs. I also said no to more borrowing; borrowing just shifts our problems to the backs of our kids . . . Instead, I went after waste, inefficiency, duplication, and patronage."
