thats the same with lower taxes for the rich that will "trickle down". why would i hire new people when i dont need them just because my personal income tax just got 5% lower?
i hire new people when i need them and the only tax i may take into consideration is the corporate tax i have to pay.
but what do i know - i am just a smut peddler from socialist eastern europe  |
When you employee hundreds of people and supply them with health, dental, death insurances, 401k benefits, work comp insurance you will fail immediately if you don't factor in what is going on politically.
20 years ago a business like mine could fool around and make 18% margins. Today,you better be on the balls of your feet every moment to make 8%. THe margins aren't there anymore to be sloppy or absorb a bunch of hits.
