DeSantis Pledges to Expand Power of the Presidency

"SNIP..........

CNN: “Doing so will require pushing the limits of the executive branch like never before, DeSantis has suggested in multiple interviews in the past 24 hours. He told conservative radio host Mark Levin that he had studied the US Constitution’s ‘leverage points’ and would use his knowledge to exercise the ‘true scope’ of presidential power…”

“DeSantis’ vision for the executive branch is seemingly at odds with the Republican Party’s traditional adherence to the principles of limited government. Many Republicans often accused former President Barack Obama of extending his powers unconstitutionally and DeSantis himself wrote an entire book in 2011 based on that perception. But it is an approach Republican voters have come to expect from their elected leaders in the years since Trump emerged and dispensed with governing norms.”

Ron DeSantis vows to 'destroy leftism' and 'woke ideology' if elected president
Source: raw story

..............."Most of the people that support you probably voted for President Trump twice. And the first comment I hear over and over again is, 'Why doesn't Ron DeSantis wait for President Trump's second term and then run?' And what is your best answer to that? Why is right now the time for Ron DeSantis to run for president?" host Will Cain asked.

"Because" DeSantis boasted, "everyone knows if I'm the nominee, I will beat Biden, uh, and I will serve two terms and I will be able to, uh, destroy leftism in this country and leave woke ideology on the dustbin of history."

If DeSantis wins the worst scenario is USA becoming into Russia or Turkey.
If Trump wins the worst scenario is the democractic party being banned.

I didn't catch that reality as it has a very real feel to it in this sick day in age.

Conservatives are often strong proponents of supply side economics and more generally cutting taxes. While an overemphasis on supply side aspects of an economy can result in overlooking the importance of maintaining adequate demand, there may be some validity in paying some attention to supply side issues. Here is an article that does just that:


When Countries Cut Taxes for New Ideas, Capital Investments Rise
May 31 , 2023

Introduction:
(Eurekalert) AUSTIN, Texas — Corporate tax breaks for innovation lead to two kinds of economic growth: in capital investment and highly compensated jobs, according to a new study from a researcher at The University of Texas at Austin.

Because innovation is key to growth in high-tech economies, one strategy has been to give companies a tax break for it. As of 2022, 21 countries worldwide had reduced rates for income resulting from intellectual property (IP), such as patents, copyrights and trademarks. Prior research has shown that such policies, known as “innovation boxes,” boost IP indicators such as patents.

A new Texas McCombs study looked at seven countries for which relatively complete data was available. The U.S. did not have an innovation box tax policy during the study period, 1999 to 2017.

“We showed the tangible results of tax cuts for IP,” said Lisa De Simone, McCombs associate professor of accounting, who researches how tax policy influences where companies decide to put their offices, factories and people. “This is important information for policymakers as they consider changes to tax regulations.”

Innovation-related tax cuts had several impacts, according to De Simone’s findings:…
