Oh now you are asking hard questions, that's not the dem way. The voters are supposed to just accept things at face value. Of course he will grow govt, of course govt will pick winners and losers.
Oh, I see. So it's going to be business as usual.

>I don't do IT work
Then what kind of work?
> States collect taxes from companies based in other states for work done while employees are traveling into their state and doing billable work
You said at first it was income taxes, what is it now? Income taxes in that scenario, assuming there is a need to pay it, would come from the people working in that state. A company pays income taxes to the feds and to the state in which it is based, not to every state that it does business in. Since you are so knowledgeable you should have no problem giving a link and quotes backing up whatever it is you are trying to say.
You have reading comprehension problems. I said that many States tax Corporations ... New York and California for example. And, if your company, say based in Arizona, has people that travel to NY or California (or many other states) and deliver billable work there, then the company is expected to pay state taxes to that state. That state then issues some kind of a credit or notice to the home state that taxes were paid there and it is deducted from the state corporate taxes due in the host state.
Dude, you are seriously clueless. This is my last post on this issue so if you don't get it by now, call your accountant and he'll give you a billable answer. I"m not a tax expert but I have some big tax return files where my company filed to a number of states for this reason. Can't understand why you would argue this as it's commonly understood and part of the corporate tax complexity that needs to be simplified.
You've been proven over and over to be a economic hack ... a puppy of the uber wealthy, unable to think beyond conservative slogans you've been force fed by those you idolize.

Firstly, I didn't call anyone names. Also, that line that you said was 'to you' was referring to starfire's post, actually. He's the one who apparently still believes in trickle down nonsense and isn't aware of any economic critique's of Capitalism. There are some very coherent and logical analyses of economics that lead to Bernie Sanders' approach, which are rooted in far more substance than 'free shit yayyy!'

No. That system already exists in virtually the most bold expression possible under "Democracy". Bernie wants to change that, and he's been trying to do it for years now. We live in a society that picks winners and losers on an individual and macro level.

I think his first priority as far as the tax code is to close loopholes and target offshore tax havens, so that all businesses pay some level of tax instead of 0%. I think this is a great starting point, and it will make the taxation more equal between businesses of all sizes. I dont believe Bernie espouses a 'flat tax', but I dont either.

Companies are double taxed if they bring there overseas profits back to the states. This money would create growth and jobs over here instead of other countries. This is a job killer penalty that needs to be fixed.

I found this a bit odd. I don't see this combo happening.

The system of predatory capitalism + crony capitalism that we have now is a far more extreme version of the government "picking winners and losers" than what Bernie is suggesting. His campaign is based on the following:
1. Getting big money out of politics with campaign finance reforms. This is a huge step forward in breaking the cycle of big donations leading to big favors from politicians leading to more big donations ... rinse and repeat 2. Cracking down on loopholes and tax havens for large corporations and the uber wealth class. Tax the upper 1% a lot more to shrink the wealth gap 3. Better strategic investments in the economy to increase earning potential of the middle class 4. Fixing our broken international trade policies that ship jobs overseas and benefit primarily the upper 1%
That all makes sense to me. He's a better choice than Hillary who represents more of the same as Bill repealed Glass Steagall and passed NAFTA.

The most important part is getting back the jobs, once you create a tight labor market the wealth inequality naturally turns around, you don't need that much government involvement.
Also, we have to deport all the illegals to create the tight labor market, we need our low skilled workers to have decent paying jobs like we did 30 years ago.

The only way to get the jobs back is to blow up every major free trade agreement, which won't happen because corporations own this planet.
Either that or we can just lower our standard of living to that of Bangladesh.

A tight labor market helps, but to really rebuild that middle class it's gong to take more than that. It's the type of jobs the country is creating that matters. We need manufacturing to really come roaring back and we need a much smaller pay gap up and down the corporation.

You're right, I've decided to ignore Stonehenge from this point forward. He's uninformed and only interested in starting conflict on topics he really doesn't understand. Good advice.

I remember when Clinton and Bush both told Americans the economy didn't need manufacturing jobs anymore, we were going to become a "service orientated economy" .
Bush always talked about "job training centers" to help people get jobs, where the fuck were all of those centers? I don't think they ever existed.
