    Do what?!?!

    Since we are discussing the private sector, I want to know if you even work in (and thus have firsthand experience in) the private sector. For example I put alot of stock in what Drake has to say about current military matters as he currently works in the military.

    Were we discussing fitness, nutrition, workout routines, etc I would answer that question about my wife's (and mine as well) weight as it would be pertinent to the discussion.

    Dude, you are a college dropout who works in IT. If that's the case, why should anyone listen to what you say about politics, or business, or finance for that matter?

    No, I'm not. So if you are going to say things about people, at least get it right.

    But we should listen to someone who won't even tell us what career field he works in, assuming he even works at all.

    LOL. I've said where I work many times, in threads where that information was pertinent. It's just not here.

    Plus, let's not forget I also own my own school.

    Well, I disagree. When discussing the private sector, it's always good to know the private sector experience of those speaking.

    If there wasn't such massive regulation, jobs wouldn't be outsourced like they are. Cut regulation, and the jobs will stay here. Increase regulation, and more will leave.

    As to taxing the **** out of any company, we already pay the highest corporate tax rate in the world.

    You have to find WHY they send the jobs over seas and deal with THAT problem.
    Its a global market and regulations won't make that reality go away.

    And we also have one of the lowest personal tax rates in the world.

    We aren't talking about income tax rates, we are talking about corporate taxes. It's corporations who are mainly outsourcing the jobs, not small businesses.

    And just because the rest of the world overtaxes their citizens does not mean we should.
