All these Republicans bitch and moan about the reason why prices are so high, or the reason why companies are moving their businesses to other countries, is because taxes are just soooo high here.
What if a president proposed to heavily lower these taxes that Republicans whine about all the time, but in turn, benchmarks must be met, or else taxes the next year will go up by an equally substantial amount?
Wouldn't that cause companies to put their money where their mouth is? They bitch and moan about high tax prices, but couldn't we temporarily lower them and see if gas prices drop, or if these companies bring back jobs to the US? And if they don't, we could tax them even higher than before, because it's obviously not the taxes that are causing them to increase prices, and move jobs overseas.
It might not be my best-worded post ever, but it was just an idea that struck me, so I was wondering what other people would think of it. Of course, I don't believe taxes are the reasons for these things, and companies are just using that as an excuse to get taxes lowered, so they can make even more of a profit. But this would force their hand, in a way.
