I don't agree with your take on raising taxes on these companies, though. If the newly unemployed want to invest in more education, let them take out the loans to do so, thus putting pressure on them to succeed rather than just giving them grants that could go wasted when the person decides its no longer fun to get drunk at college parties when you're 31. To be a truly free market, however, is somewhat unrealistic because our government can regulate how companies in our country do business, but not how a company does business in another country. So a company could gain competitive advantages by doing business in one country, but still reaching a consumer in another. It's a great ideal, but it's hard to pull off since we're not a global government to regulate this global economy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614886417519330011noreply@blogger.com
