The evidence is to the contrary if you speak of America meaning the government. They have shown no indication of paying off debts and plenty of reason through contrived inflation, devaluation and straight up hands down debt repudiation to more than suspect the opposite. They have no intention of ever paying the bill.

If you speak of America the people when they tire of being tax slaves to the Government they will not pay the government's debt but repudiate it in whole. Starting with the moochers and looters who have nothing left to loot and nothing left to mooch. The producers will step to the side and let the looters and moochers duke it out. Then pick up the pieces and start over.

two thumbs

What evidence do you have that America is going to have to repay the debt? Why hasn't it been called yet?

Yes I believe what I stated...it was not tongue-in-cheek. If man is good, define good.

Taxes are not the issue...it is what they are used for. Gov;t is legit, so how would you fund it without taxes?

Man is no damn good, so he needs external direction in terms of means and ends.

That's up to the leaders of the pack. Currently Socialist corporatist statists, socialist statist corporatists and a few socialist union leaders.

But essentially you are correct. The opposite withing the triad itself occurred in 2008 when th the small banks were driven out of business by government edict and regulation changing along with the last cycle of economic repression.

So less hostile depends on which business you are talking about. Apparently Pfizer wasn't in the inner circle or perhaps they are because all propaganda aside the move is purely economic

easy way is switch to end user consumption tax with only 'that which it takes merely to survive' as an exemption or deduction. Food, shelter, clothing, medicine, air, water. A Right To Life Exemption. That's 1.

2. Government is not allowed to go into debt except for true national emergencies, war or natural disasters. And then must repay that debt as the first item of next years budget.

3. Disaster by Government is not counted.

the rest follows.

Apply the generational formula x+y=Zero. They won't notice and run to their safe space for a pouting contest.

For the rest of us it's a matter of no choice. Choice was when you could have have voted the bastards out. Fourty or fifty years ago.

The choices are running out.

Yes but then the US Government adds on import duties and tariffs so the US consumer gets to pay twice and have no jobs left to earn the money to pay once, twice or ......!

The myth of tariffs someone always loses...for someone else to gain.

All of this is a moot point. Businesses pay zero taxes. They pass them on to the consumer like any other overhead. Cost of Government IS a Cost of doing business.

Pfizer's move is for other reasons using the tax dodge excuse as an excuse.

The same as blaming religion for war.

It's economics and business is war by another name.
