John McCain: Town Hall 09/15/08

2008-09-25T10:47:20Z

John McCain
Town Hall
Orlando, FL 09/15/08

TRANSCRIPT:
QUESTIONER: Senator McCain, what is your position on these companies leaving the United States to foreign countries and causing us to lose employment.

JOHN MCCAIN: I think theres a number of ways to address it. And one of them is most Americans are not aware that we have the highest, second highest, business tax of any nation in the world. In other words, our business tax is 35%, I want to reduce it to 25%. You know what it is in Ireland? [applause] In Ireland, its 11%. So youve got a business and youre going to pay 35% tax on what you earn here or are you going to go to Ireland where you only pay 11%? Weve got to reduce that business tax and weve got to reduce it quickly. And by the way, the only other nation in the world that has higher is Japan. And I dont think we want to imitate the Japanese economy, to say the least. So, uh, we need to lower that and we also have to spark innovation and technology and education in America that will allow us to stay ahead. Were the most innovative nation in the world, as I said. The most productive workers, the most innovative, and every, literally every new breakthrough in technology comes from the United States of America. But we are not giving the kind of education to young Americans that is necessary for those businesses also to stay here. So, um, its of great concern, its of great concern. But time after time, I see a properly educated and trained workforce prevailing. One other point, right now the displaced worker does not have the education and retraining necessary to enter the new job market. So I would go to our community colleges, and you have great community colleges [applause] in the state of Florida. And I would ask them, as well as the colleges and universities, but primarily the community colleges and ask them to design and implement education, training programs so that we can make workers eligible for the new jobs that are going to be part of the new economy. Um, so, I could go on about this. But the present day unemployment and education benefits are designed for the 1950s, wed have an economic downturn, people would leave their jobs, the economy would return and theyd return to the same old job. Weve got to prepare them for the new technology and nobodys better at that than the local educational capabilities of the community colleges. [applause]

TRANSCRIPTION:
QUESTIONER: [] Recently, I know theres been some cuts in the budget and a couple of my electives were suspended and theres a $40 fee now to go play sports. So—

JOHN MCCAIN: Really?

QUESTIONER: —do you plan to do anything to help?

MCCAIN: First thing I want to do is to introduce you Governor Charlie Crist. May I ask, is your school a regular public school or charter school?

QUESTIONER: Yes.

MCCAIN: Well, all I can say is Im not familiar with this particular situation but it seems to me its not appropriate to charge you to be engaged in athletics with this subject we were just talkin about—about wellness and fitness—and I havent gotten down into the level of what the Florida education system is except that I have seen the results of the testing and the progress thats been made here in Florida and its been extremely impressive as far as education improvement is concerned and so I would be glad—seriously—to look at that problem if its prevails [sic] around but I also am proud of the improvement the state of Florida has shown in the overall quality improvement of education of young people in this state, but Ill be glad to look at it.
