Report from Meyer Tool

Howard Wilkinson reports:

On this 15 minute tour of the Meyer Tool plant, owner Arlyn Easton gave the president a short course in electrical discharge machining, a process for drilling in the holes in turbine engines for airplanes.

Bush watched as worker Paula Stephens used a robotic infrared device to inspect the holes.

Of course with all those tax cuts he can open a facility in Poland using cheap labor.

Sounds like someone is bitter. I'm assuming you know first hand..but remember my friend, you have a paycheck every Friday, health benifits, a 401 k plan, and all the over time you want that helps you provide for your family. So if you don't like it, find another job.

The heck with Poland...let's move the company to China. There we can use actual 'child laborers'. Maybe we'll even give them a decent meal if they put in 10+ hours per day.

As an employee of Meyer Tool I can assure you that no jobs have been lost or "outsourced" to any of our international locations. The facts are that our company has grown and jobs in Cincinnati have been created. Whoever wrote this is clueless about Meyer Tool, its management, and obviously about the economy and the benifits that the tax cuts have given Meyer Tool and thousands of businesses like it.

Actually because of the tax rate cuts businesses have invested money into their businesses, increasing their revenues, and thus paying more in taxes than before the tax cut. Also because of the accelerated depreciation next year should show record tax revenues for the Federal Government.

It is a paradoxial fact that when you lower tax rates you will increase revenues..JFK paraphrase.

The tax cuts worked as now the top 2% of all wage earners now pay over 53% of all taxes compared to just 50% in 2000. Also the budget deficit keeps decreasing each and every year.

That national debt is something that this country has always had and will always have...only before the Civil War were we even close to not having any "debt".
