Once Haiti's agriculture starts flourishing again I would assume that these companies would start business as usual. Unless you can prove that there has been legislation that taxes companies in Haiti I have no choice but to disagree.
I'm saying that we don't need to tax Haitian companies to get the $1.5 billion back. We'll get the money back by employing American taxpayers at domestic coffee factories. Of course those factory owners pay taxes, too.
If there is money to be made, the factories will come. Federal government needs to stop the handouts for once.
If it is true that a few Americans lost jobs because of the earthquake it can't be that big of a number. Look at coffee stocks during the earthquake. They barely moved. If you could actually find out how many jobs were lost and then how many were restablished due to the aid then we could see if this tax argument is correct or not. Due to coffee markets being abundent throughout the world and the nonexistent affect the earthquake had on coffee stocks I would assume that the extra jobs added thus the extra taxpayer money added because of haiti's rebuilding would take a very, very long time.
Why do you guys use the word "we" when you're talking about the operations of the United States government? Being a taxpayer doesn't mean you have any say or influence in anything, so I think the word we is inappropriate. Use it when you're the one actually making the decision.
Yeah, its bullshit. You and your one little vote have absolutely no influence, and the masses aren't nearly intelligent or organized enough to get what they want.
