this was not quite enough to buy a loaf of bread in germany towards the end of the inflation in 1923 .
my grandmother had a whole stack of them and as kids we used it as playmoney .

It's a day traders market. The higher the mountains, the lower the valleys, the more profit exists Shocked

India and China know that pure, uncontrolled market economy will not survive for long..
Germany wish to follow the foot path of Indian and Chinese economy.

Right now, the world market is driven by capitalism. Until something else comes along and pushes it out of the way - well, India and China are just using capitalism. The World Order is in control, no country! If you want a part, Buy in the valley, Sell on the mountain tops.

Perhaps.
But the mission is not yet achieved

Rama, If you haven't figured out that change happens every second of every day - while we are amongst the living - you haven't learned much.
Change is a constant.

the subject of this thread is not about an innocent corporate puppet but about US economy.

As a well-informed participant of this A2K forum
you know that I am simple in language
and serious in my critical observations.

And there are still some people saying that corporations dont pay enough in taxes...

New Study: U.S. States Suffer as They Become Biggest Corporate Taxers in the World



Quote:
Combined with federal tax, corporate income tax in most states is world's highest

WASHINGTON, Mar 18, 2008 - A new study from the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan tax research group in Washington, shows that most American states tax job providers at a higher rate than any other country in the developed world.

"This is startling news for America's businesses and workers," said Tax Foundation president Scott Hodge, the study's author. "Tax competition for jobs and investment is fierce, and the U.S. continues to fall further and further behind. Our states should be the world's leaders in many things, but high taxation should not be one of them. The high federal corporate tax rate is literally crushing states' competitive abilities. That means fewer jobs for American workers."

So knowing this, why do some dems say that the corporate tax rate still is to low?

New Study: U.S. States Suffer as They Become Biggest Corporate Taxers in the World

One of the reasons I favor eliminating corporate taxes, and also why Huckabee had at least one good idea in favoring the fair tax. Businesses simply pass taxes onto the consumers anyway, so it is a meaningless game the government plays in taxing corporations. And where U.S. corporations pay high taxes and where they also compete against products made in other countries not subject to the same taxes, they lose business and this country loses business, employment, etc.
