Nick Hanauer:给富人减税不能增加工作职位

http://crofsblogs.typepad.com/gap/2012/05/nick-hanauer-on-job-creation-and-inequality.html 关于企业资本创造工作职位的迷思

lihlii @lihlii 2012-11-28 08:03:28 UTC
@lihlii 所谓资本家创造就业机会的极端右派说辞,和当初马克思主义说工人创造商品的剩余价值的劳动价值论的极端左派说辞一样,都是违背经济学原理的扯淡。真正的商 品价值和工作职位的创造来源是市场。只有市场交易的完成和繁荣,才是工作职位和商品价值实现的根本。

lihlii @lihlii 2012-11-28 08:14:10 UTC
TED Talk 甚至取消了 Nick Hanauer 关于给富人减税不能增加工作职位的演说录像的发布,可见资本家对舆论的钳制有多严重。

lihlii @lihlii 2012-11-28 08:15:40 UTC
@lihlii 更重要的是,主张给富人加税的巴菲特,驳斥给富人减税增加工作职位的 Nick Hanauer 本人都是富人,资本家。他们的言论说服力更强,因为他们不是屁股决定脑袋,不是为自己的利益说话,相反是损害自己利益而说真话。

Banned TED Talk
TheYoungTurksTheYoungTurks·13,343 videos

Published on May 17, 2012

Via Business Insider: “As the war over income inequality wages on, super-rich Seattle entrepreneur Nick Hanauer has been raising the hackles of his fellow 1-percenters, espousing the contrarian argument that rich people don’t actually create jobs.

The position is controversial — so much so that TED is refusing to post a talk that Hanauer gave on the subject. National Journal reports today that TED officials decided not to put Hanauer’s March 1 speech up online after deeming his remarks “too politically controversial” for the site…”.* Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss on The Young Turks.

    ted has had billy graham and richard dawkins as speakers. You aren’t going to get ideas more polarizing and charged than those. TED’s excuse that it would be too politically charged was lame. The purpose of the talks is to share ideas.

    They banned him because they try to be inclusive of all ideas. When you say a wealthy most likely democrat man gave a speech on wealth inequality, he most likely approached this problem from liberal standpoint. The simple fact is by only looking at this problem though the platform of a single political party and not through many different and varied ideas is grounds for removal and disregard. These talks are more to unite the ideas of all and not advertise a certain ideology.

    Yes because his ideas were exclusive. Just like the system of law there needs to be rules to protect others opinions and ideas. When you start excluding other ideas by only looking at a problem through one scope you essentially trampling on and furthered discussion on the topic.

    I’m sure you might be a lovely, intelligent person, but this comment makes me wonder how you can walk upright with all that stupid weighing your head down.

    All perspectives are exclusive. Even the espousal of total inclusion is an exclusive idea because it EXCLUDES EXCLUSION. Any time you adopt any point of view as correct, you label conflicting ideas as incorrect.

    Yes i agree that inclusion it ‘technically’ exclusion, but standing up on a stage and damning the actions of groups in individuals whether they be conservative or liberal is a bit beyond what should be accepted. No where can a discussion go involving politics. It is the reasons that cause the problem for that need to be addressed.

    If the actions of a group of individuals is criminally deceptive, then they can be damned on whatever stage the one who damns sees fit. There is no reason not to accept a statement if it can be backed by facts.

    Like I said, this isn’t an issue of political standpoint. It’s an issue of an idea being pushed by a group of individuals that has historically proven to be objectively untrue, and an oversimplified and inaccurate claiming of credit that can be shown through simple logic to be wrong.

    Defaming would be me getting on a TED talk stage, showing our argument, and saying “how can this fuckwit not see the issues with his argument?”

    Hanauer demonstrated a stark historical contradiction to claims which conservatives are on record as saying. In other words, he is dealing in facts, not opinions; the truth doesn’t lean Left or Right. And the forum is adequate because this isn’t some personal squabble; it’s an important aspect of economic policy, which affects all of us.

    I appreciate your apology, someone who could debate an issue quite eloquently surprised me with such a word. But anyway, regardless of if his words had any truth, the way he went about trying put forth his message was wrong. In stead of listing the misgivings of people who did not have foresight for such misgivings he should have listed practical ways in which to solve the problem. I am well aware of the turmoil that plagues the world. One really needs to just focus on fixing the problem though.
    · in reply to Kalilden(Show the comment)
    Kalilden

    In order to implement a solution, one must first identify the problem. Not everyone is aware of these turmoils, and many of those who ARE aware don’t know the nature or extent of the root causes, of which corporate greed is indisputably one. The line that captains of industry and CEOs are “Job Creators” and should thus be specially rewarded is a documented lie that helps facilitate that greed’s manifestation, which needs to be exposed on whatever stage is available.

    Further, the only way the talk was from a ‘liberal standpoint’ was that it tore down a factual inaccuracy that is and has been promoted by prominent conservative Republicans. This isn’t an issue of a party line; have you actually watched the talk? You can now. The historical facts he presents are pretty damning of the “coddle Job Creators” ideal.

    So yes.

    Your comments make no goddamn sense.

    What I base my assertion of this entire problem is on the report of these web journalists. They presented said facts and then I responded to how I felt about it from a non-bias perspective. The fact is the TED conference and others like it such as RSA are meant to bring people together with reasonings that are based on MATH, SCIENCE, LANGUAGE, things that are finite to solve a problem. I feel as if though when you bring politics into somewhere it doesn’t belong then there’s a major problem.

    The loss of jobs over the last 30-something years was not the result of tax cuts, welfare spending or other errant congressional policy…it was and IS the integration of over 2 BILLION newly employable workers in emerging economies. Only shrew protectionist policies cold have hoped to slow the inevitable. By the way, U.S. and European protectionist policies in the first half of the 20th century exacerbated the lead up to WWI and WWII. Remember that.

    What Nick Hanauer fails to tell you in this TED talk is that he, himself, is directly responsible for creating over 51,000 jobs because of his investment in Amazon.com, and indirectly likely responsible for over 100,000 more jobs created because of Amazon.com. We should be thanking people like Nick for the risk he took with his money that created all of these jobs, not villainizing them for it.

    What he says is that the jobs are also created because there’s demand for the product or service they’re providing, so you can say that consumers also have a part in creating jobs.

    So, should we give tax cuts to the consumers too?

    Or instead, should we stop giving tax cuts to rich people?

    We’re not telling them that is wrong that they’re rich. We’re asking them to pay their share, just like everybody else.

    I’m not against wealthy people. I’m against too much greed that would sacrifice men. The PILLAR of democracy and civilization is the MIDDLE CLASS. Without a strong middle class you can’t have a healthy democracy or even a healthy nation, economically and politically.

    Today is no longer about hardwork and determination, too much now depends on what kind of privilege you’re born into. DO NOT squeeze the middle class. Certainly the ones needing protection are the middle class not the very wealthy.

    What is happening is that US political system has been captured by the 1 percenter. The population has been duped into believing what is best for the top 1 percenter is good for the rest of the society which is often NOT the case. Atm they are trying shamelessly to put one of them the one percenter as a presidential candidate and trying again to deceive the rest into believing what is good for the top 1 percenter is good for the whole society.

    There’s nothing wrong with being very rich but being very rich at the expense of the rest of the society now that’s wrong. The surest way to empower yourself is by empowering the people around you. Likewise the surest way to be wealthy is by making other people wealthy too. Greed may motivate people and that’s good but too much greed INCAPACITATES and RUIN other people and that’s bad for the society and nation.

    It is funny because many TED talks have talked about the abject poverty and wealth disparity in Third world nations, but heaven for bid we should talk about it here. It is like all of the charitable events to feed the starving in the third world, but suggest feeding Americans, having government funded jobs programs, or having social protections and “OH NO! They are lazy, good for nothing welfare cheats!” The thinking in the US is warped.

    Those tax cuts did not create jobs, they created a very small elite class of people with the entitlement to royalty, to keep their place, their jobs, their bonuses, their raises now matter what they do and the right to keep everyone else down by impoverising the public space – in fact their goal is to rid the world or anything public.

LOL all your want, who cares?Before Reagan the US was fiscally responsible, then Republicans decided for some reason to drive the economy off the cliff, but those with lots of money are in a substantially different place than the average American. Tax cuts have not created jobs and have hobbled the government from being able to do its job.

    Your first sentence is an assumption. Your second sentence is clearly partisan, and I have no care for partisan politics, or politics of any kind really. I could give a fuck what sociopath did the spending. Now, as a matter of fact, you’re wrong in your second claim, as gov’t spending has continually risen since at least 1913.

    And lastly, you can’t prove tax cuts didn’t create jobs because you have no parallel universe in which you could observe the same chain of events absent the tax cuts. There are billions of variables that determine job growth, and yet you ignore that you can’t control for them. And trust me, the gov’t is by no means short of revenue. For you to imply otherwise would be ridiculous. Just look at gov’t revenues over time.

    Yes I can prove that tax cuts did not lead to jobs, because the tax cuts for the last twelve years have just put money in the hands of the very wealthy who invest it offshore. Jobs are not being created here. There are not “billions” of variables that determine job growth, there several “first-order” things to look at, but you have no idea what that means no doubt. Anyway you are about as non-serious as they come so this is a waste of time.

    To go from the Ted talk to the planned parenthood thing was a textbook liberal non sequitur segue. TED probably made a conscious decision not to be seen as going off the deep end. I listened to the clip that was available on youtube; long on redistribution, short on economic fundamentals.

    It wasn’t that his talk was political, it was that it was logically bankrupt…his claim was that consumers are the job creators, because without consumers to buy products then businesses would not be able to service them and thus consumers drive the economy. What he failed to recognize is, where exactly do consumers get their money from? They must be productive enough to obtain money to buy products/services, and they must either create their own jobs or get their jobs from an evil capitalist..

    Well, what money will “job creators” make when there is no jobs=consumers to buy their products or services. The trickle down economy is just as logically bankrupt, isn’t it?

    To my (naive) understanding it seems that you need both, because neither side can live without the other.

    Check out the Wikipedia or NYT articles on “Kurzarbeit” for an example how you can “create consumption” even during economic downturns: people don’t lose their jobs, they only lose 10% for their income (temporarily).

    Producers will sell their product to other producers, who have accumulated wealth from their own production- you don’t need to tax the production of a producer in order to give his wealth to a consumer, for that consumer to buy the producers production- is that a serious question? Read “How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes” by Peter Schiff to wash that Keynesian propaganda out of your head.

    As i said, “naive understanding”. Yes, it was a serious question 😉

    I see your point, i guess it’s a question of what you value more, job security (= steady income = steady consumption = steady profit) or profit.

    Kinda a risk vs. reward scenario?

    Anyway, don’t want to waste your time! You have a nice day 🙂

    I agree with what you’re saying but you completely missed the meaning in my post. Here it is stated differently: TED thought Hanaeur’s address was too politically unilateral, but he had no qualms with disseminating Dawkin’s address which is every bit as unilateral as Hanaeur’s, both being biased toward the political left. That leads me to believe that Anderson’s personal disagreement with Hanaeur’s message was the real motive for not releasing the video.

Ted has previously released a Talk by Richard Wilkinson about the perils of income inequality. It was a good speech and had MANY facts and was not needlessly political.

    After Google-ing, Hanauer’s numbers seem accurate. Unemployment increased from 1995 to 2009 while taxes for the wealthy decreased during the same period. The reason Republicans gave for decreasing taxes for the wealthy was job creation. Concluding, based on these numbers, that decreasing taxes for the wealthy does not necessarily create jobs seems reasonable to me.

That’s right. 2009 is when standard unemployment numbers peaked after the crash of 2008. But wait, is there more? Oh yeah, another thing I can just think of off the top of my head – taxes didn’t decrease from 1995 – 2009. “Huh? Really?” No. “Well then, what happened?”. First off, in 1993 Clinton increased taxes.

    Most of those increases remained in place until 1997. Conditions for the economy were ideal in the early ’90s following the fall of “the wall”. Growth continued despite the increase in taxes, but it was slow. After the ’97 tax cuts though, the economy boomed, producing the “surplus” of the late ’90s. However, even the ’97 tax cuts didn’t cut taxes all the way around. Constantly since the end of George H.W. Bush there have been numerous fees and “hidden taxes” inserted into the economy.

    For instance, there is a transportation tax on fuel. There are taxes for imports and exports. There are multi-layered fees for registering businesses. There are fees to get certified for many industries. There are fees to pay annually, simply to remain in business. There are taxes on certain industrial equipment. There are taxes on the transfer of raw materials to new stages of industrial development. There are taxes on parts/goods to be transported across the U.S.

    There are multiple layers upon layers upon layers of taxes and fees and certifications for things like medical care and various regulatory commissions… All constantly being increased every single year. Do you know how often these things get eliminated? Almost never. You get taxed if you die and attempt to leave your wealth to your family. You get taxed if you give a big enough gift. These elements of stripping wealth from private individuals haven’t decreased. They’ve increased.

  &n
bsp; Yet, one can look at over 100 years of economic history in the U.S. and see one clear repetitive truth. Every time taxes are significantly decreased, they’re followed by ecnonomic growth. Which DID happen when the Bush tax cuts were put in place. Around 2000 the economy took another dip. The “Bush Tax Cuts” were more a response to that dip as much as they were an adherence to ideological notions of “lower taxes are good for everybody”.

    And even though there were definite decreases to taxes, the “tax cuts” weren’t permanent and have to be approved again and again for them to remain in place, otherwise the tax rate reverts to the higher level it was during Clinton’s Administration. Lastly, just use some common sense. Did the total number of private sector jobs increase from 1995 to 2008? Yes. If all the businesses owned by wealthy people disappeared with the wealthy business owners, would jobs disappear with them? Yes.

    Has Hanauer ever owned or run a business for a significant amount of time in his life, relying on said business for his sole source of income? No. Are there people in this country who technically earn over $1,000,000 a year because they own a business and the gross income of the business shows up as the sole proprietor’s income that actually take a loss for the year? Yes. Because those people have to pay a whole slew of costs, fees, and taxes before they get their cut.

    I do generally agree with better income equality and higher taxes on the rich but I think that graph that they highlight is slightly misused and the way they use it is out of context. There are many other factors that affect unemployment and it is a very superficial statement to say that higher taxes leads to less unemployment or vice versa.
