Are you kidding me? Incentives? DO you know the tax rates these guys are paying? Try 15 to 17%. I pay 33%. Incentives are you sh$%ing me? These guys have had the lowest taxes in our history and what did they do? Well we all know what they did. Why? They dont care about America. They have no allegiance to our country. They care about themselves and their masters over in Israel and Saudi Arabia. Disgusting. Instead of getting rid of corporate taxes or lowering them lets kill the individual income tax. You want to see growth that will do it. Corporations dont even exist. Humans do.

YES, I'm in France and was watching Peter Schiff when he was cut off - I think I remember what he was saying: "...and the things they are doing ...." From the tone of the voice the rest sounded like it was going to be "...are only making things worse" . I can assure you I am no conspiracy theorist ... but I was very shocked - and I am suspicious indeed.

I don't know if he has many fans here...all I see here being posted lately is nonsense about the greatness of Marxism and communism...Schiff is completely the opposite. (These latest postings by ATSers has turned me off from participating lately on this BB)

No offense, but it seems to me that perhaps ATSers, would be happier if you had a representative from the U.S. Communist Party speaking instead.

I assure you I am no fan of marxism or socialism.

I aslo assure you that the ppl founding the militias that
went before the senate and threatened them with a 2nd civil
war recently are not either.

I am not going to throw myself under the bus like them though,
and I will be bugging out when the schumer hits the fan.

If you had read past the first sentence of my post before replying you would know that I was responding to a suggestion made by another poster. The first sentence was a rhetorical question posed again so as to expose the weakness of the provided suggestion.

Now for income taxes.

Although lowering the income tax would work, the government would never do it, obvious reasons aside (they're greedy of course). But more importantly, with the anticipation that the dollar might be at a very high risk of crashing and burning in the near future, we want to keep foreign investors buying U.S. treasuries, with U.S. dollars, keeping the price of the dollar inflated. A reduction in the income tax would pose a risk that those investors just won't be willing to take. Investors are generally dumb. They'll listen to the optimism of government promises like it's a message from God almighty. Just look at how the markets rally whenever Obama holds a press conference. The Fed isn't credible because of its policy making, it's credible because it controls the money of the richest and most powerful country on the planet. The fearful respect given off by that position of power alone is enough to convince any investor... that is only for the moment (let's see how things look a year from now). On the other hand, if the government decides to do something smart, such as spreading the bail-out capital to all tax paying citizens (thereby increasing the collective brain power to actually address this problem) investors just won't be able to take it. The investor market has a psychological maturity of a 6 six year old on a sugar high. If there are too many variables, they give up and cry, even if a solution seems to be in sight. It really is too bad that a lot of investors are spineless cowards, but I guess that's just human nature. Not only does the U.S. government have to provide some rather ingenious policy (it wouldn't if it just cut taxes, but seeing as it won't...) but balance that with the multitude of variables that is fear and human nature.

Please correct me where I'm wrong. I'm an amateur observer at best.

Hi TheComingDepression,

Did I miss something?
Are you in contact with Schiff?
What did he say?
Does he have the footage?

Is SkepticOverlord still trying to get him in the Mix?

Thanks

Amazing, truly amazing. Is this a sedative for the general public? If Hollywood is owned by the Illuminated, this is a dangerous powerplay.

Why would they risk worsening their public opinion I wonder?

Maybe just a sedative

Because destroying confidence in a currency will help devalue it even further. Once a currency is sufficiently devalued it can be moved to another currency, and the reasons they are putting this into mainstream is because more and more people are becoming aware of it so rather than them learning the facts for themselves they'll slip whatever disinformation they need to via the film industry. People will see the film and be happy enough in thinking that film tackles the concerns they are having and that something must already be in the pipeline to tackle it
