Because taxing income takes out more money from current production. Corporate profits not paid in employees income is used to invest in future production. It's better to tax away current production than future production. Just like it would be better to have higher tax rates now than have to pay back the 1.6 Trillion we borrowed this year. It would of course be much better to cut spending.
So shift taxes to the wealthier people that create jobs. If people all have 30% more money and production hasn't increased, prices just go up 30%. But what would actually happen is that productions and jobs would be lost since companies and wealthy people will have less profits and savings.
You can't expand an economy without having savings for investment, that's why taxing rich people isn't any better. You can't have more demand met without increasing production.
There are taxes paid on on every salary of every employee, including the CEO's and other exceutive's salaries, which are probably all in the highest bracket. Gains on stocks are taxed, and dividend payouts are taxed as income.
Profits the company makes and doesn't pay out in dividends or salaries is used for company expansion. Why tax that? That's the exact problem we have in the USA, and we already have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. Of course these international companies are doing everything they can to get around it. Would you rather them just move their entire company offshore? It's hard to compete when your international competitors have such a large tax advantage.
The sad fact is that the US government is making (taxing) more money from these companies than any CEO is, and more than corporate profits are. Taxing creators of jobs isn't an incentive to expand your business. Including state corporate taxes, it's around 40% in the US, imagine how much faster companies could expand with a 67% increase in profits (0% tax).
Thank god pot is still illegal, otherwise I fear the big brother government would have much less resistance.
I think most people forget how much they already know about you, from you filling out your income tax return every year. That's why moving to a national sales tax is such an important privacy issue.
I think that is the most relevant verse in the Bible. We should celebrate the dumb luck we have that the biggest religion in our country has that verse in Revelations. Without it, I assume 1984 would be here much earlier. I will most certainly claim I'm a Christian (and claim religious exemption) if this idea comes to pass.
You also lose some value. How much value obviously depends on the interaction and social skills of the worker, so how much is lost by them not coming to work may not be much.
I would take a large pay cut, and move to a nice tropical destination where living expenses are ~$5,000/yr. You can live like a king in beautiful sunny weather for less than $20,000.
I wasn't directing the bash on the hard work you do, just pointing out the obvious flaws linux fanboys often glance over.
Get KDE running as smoothly as MS Windows, and I'll switch on over (well unless I'm playing video games). I just worry that getting it to run butter smooth is not on the agenda. I got an iPhone touch, and the animations are just so smooth that I love touching it. Honestly that's pretty much the only thing I like about it, but it's probably one of the big selling points.
You mean Gnome still runs well? Moving from Windows to Gnome, the performance hit is painful, and sometimes acceptable, Gnome windows still move around somewhat fluidly.
With KDE, my quadcore seems like a pentium 4. Running KDE on my dualcore laptop is just insanity.
KDE looks pretty, but linux Desktops run painfully slow. If I'm running linux, I use it for what it's good at, multitasking server roles.
I can't even watch hd flash or fullscreen flash on my laptop; until I can happily watch butter smooth tv (porn) on my laptop, switching to linux is not an option.
I know people that have switched from chrome to FF just because the chrome pdf viewer was too annoying. Although I have to give some props to Google, their builtin PDF viewer is the first one I've seen that actually renders PDFs at the same quality as Adobe.
Well the PC world profits on hardware sales, so it makes sense to allow any software to run. The console world loses money on hardware sales initially, and makes it all up with software sales. Also, since open source video games barely exist, 99% of the content needs DRM protection and cost money, it makes sense to be closed. Since a large part of the market was aimed at kids, parents prefer purchasing closed systems.
So since the iPhone isn't marketed at kids, and doesn't give you a cheap price on the hardware, it can't win. If the iPhone was sold for a big loss, it may have a better chance, and could find a place to stay in certain demographics.
You're missing the point. Google REFUSED to share the information it gathered, that's why audits are required for the government to legally obtain all that juicy data.
Any $100 or more video card has flash support and uses very little power when playing hd flash. In linux it pins my CPU since there is a lack of hardware support.
You're forgetting about Kinect. A touch screen phone or Kinect and a big TV are similar interfaces. Apps and game could possibly run on both. If a phone with a controller comes out, tons of games could be ported pretty quick. With better hardware in the future, perhaps all the games will be able to be ported.

And I forgot to mention, if all prices go up by 30%, your savings in dollars just went down by 30%.

If you don't have unlimited text, I really doubt you need the 'text and walk' app.
But I agree, although funny, this can't be legal.
He could have just had the phone text a short number he setup and he could have got paid, but then he would definitely get sued.

Perhaps it was a honeypot for the FBI? Then it's definitely getting tossed out.

That's the tip of the iceberg, it's the 1st smartphone with a controller. More will follow

Ubuntu uses more power than Windows.
This Anandtech article shows them using about the same amount of power.
I thought all computers were disposable.
Seems like they're pulling numbers out of a hat to me.
I'm pretty sure they are pulling numbers out of their ass.
What is the problem with climate change again? I thought most calculations showed more food is produceable in a warmer climate.
Incorrect on one account. Quantum cryptography got rid of the need to exchange keys before hand.
Drive around until you find an open Wifi signal. 100% untraceable back to you.
