[QUOTE="brett636, post: 826052, member: 249"] Please tell me you really aren't this stupid. Business exists for the sole and single purpose of [B]making money[/B]. That is creating wealth for its owners and shareholders. They don't exist to make you feel better, or to give your neighbor a job. Its all about taking in more money then they have going out. Do you think tv stations put on tv shows purely for your entertainment? No, they put on shows in hopes of keeping you entertained long enough to get you to watch the next commercial break. Do you believe the grocery store exists just so you don't have to go out and kill and grow your own food? No, they exist to turn a profit by making it convenient for you to purchase your food that others have produced. If a business deems that they can make more money by allowing their cash to idle then investing in a new venture then they have every right to do that because that is why they exist. To sit there and say we need to tax idle cash is ludicrous because without some idle cash reserves businesses[U] will fail [/U]and people will be unemployed. Given the unstable nature of our economy how do you expect a business to invest in expansion when they don't know what their tax rates are going to be in 2 years, or what their healthcare costs will be thanks to Obamacare. Businesses invest when markets and economies are stable and the people you support to control our government create anything but a stable environment for businesses to grow and thrive. [/QUOTE]
