Tiga: 1,700 industry jobs will be lost without UK tax breaks

But they get their money from taxes!

Less taxes would work on a lot of levels right now though.

At least someone understands that tax breaks help the economy. The govt gets enough money as it is. The economy is in financial straits, not the govt. JFK cut taxes and it worked, just as Reagan did, and it quadrupled govt income.

Tax breaks, so simple even a Caveman can figure it out. It's a shame that Obama cannot.

Agreed, the trickle down effect works for the most part. Maybe not for small business but for big business yes as long as the executives aren't corrupt.

Big flaws in your arguments, first off government spending has a higher economic multiplier than tax cuts, that means every dollar put into the economy via spending will have a greater boost than those put in via tax cuts, secondly, FDR raised taxes on the rich during the Depression in 1934, and GDP rose over 10% for the next four years, it was only when he tried to cut government spending and balance the budget that the economy sunk again, thirdly as we've seen the past eight years, more tax cuts did not equal higher government revenues, when money was adjusted for inflation, and in fact sewelled the deficits, further tax cuts will only do the same, by cutting off government revenues, in addition, tax cuts will have little effect in this economic situation when people have retrenched their spending and people are fleeing the markets, tax cuts require people to acutally spend their money or invest it, but when people are not doing that it doesn't help. When Aggregate demand is down as much as it is, government spending is the best and really only route to economic recovery.

HAHAHAHHA

AND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE!

That sucks dude. I just looked at the post, and you have replies going onto the next page or so. Hahah.

*grumble grumble*

This man's post definitely seems most suitable to post in.

Why not utilise this opportunity to discuss which console is the best and which one sucks?

Get to it people!

There's a little box on the bottom of the screen that says 'E-Mail me when someone replies to this comment'

UNCHECK THE BOX, IT'S THE COOL THING TO DO!

I gave up on that feature working after seeing that it never worked to notify you after someone replied in a thread you'd already replied to in which you weren't the original poster. But hey if it works you're my new hero, the wind beneath my wings, and I owe you a hug n' tug.

I thought hug n' tug was OUR thing Markez!

Email Rape!

I vow that every comment i ever need to post on Joystiq shall hencforth be a reply to Markez. Everyone for the rest this thread should join me!

Wow premature, that makes perfect sense debating consoles as a reply to Markez! Your logic is flawless. I'll start. Wii + PC FTW. Dual-analog sucks for FPS games, and since i love me some FPS action, Wii and PC have it all covered. Even as a Ninty Fanboy and PC gamerholic, i'll invest in a 360 soon to get the DVD upscaling, FFXIII, RE5, DMC4 and Fable 2.

i know how to get this reply party REALLY started...

so the UK better be glad they dont have Obama as president, or else theyd risk becoming even more socialist and having taxes actually INCREASE as opposed to decrease.

flame on brothers, flame on.

Oh please no. I don't come to Joystiq for it's gripping political commentary.

How's the weather up there? man, the parent post is already getting lost in the clouds

C'mon guys, haven't you raped his inbox enough?

No? Well feel free to continue =P

i will take it one step further by not saying anything with meaning. aww yeah. inbox rape +1

+1

Hey I need tax breaks also, I'm not making enough money either. Profiteering, killing us everyday.
