Economic Idea 6: Investment Program For Banks and Companies - 10-year investment tax credit for banks and companies to invest in other companies - Turn regular banks into investment banks - Boost private sector investment in the United States by $300 billion per year - Produce 30 million more jobs in 5 years time - Produce $450 billion per year of more tax revenues in 5 years time
This is a supergenius idea to boost private sector investment into the United States.
Suppose we pay banks a 5% investment tax credit per year over 10 years, thus a 50% investment tax credit for investing in private companies, then we turn regular banks into investment banks. They get 50% interest on their investments over 10 years time, and they thus recover half of their investment in 10 years time on their invested capital. Also private companies that invest into other private companies get this 50% investment tax credit over 10 years time.
For example: if a bank invests $1 million into a private company, then the bank gets an interest rate through the tax credit of 5% per year or $50,000 per year, over 10 years, so they get $500,000 investment back through these tax credit in 10 years time. This will boost investment by banks and private companies into other private companies.
What are the results?
1. Banks invest at least $100 billion per year into private companies, good for 2 million new jobs per year, or 10 million jobs in 5 years time. We turn regular banks into investment banks.
2. Angel investors, private investors and VC (venture capital) companies create an investment company and invest at least $100 billion per year into private companies, good for 2 million new jobs per year, or 10 million jobs in 5 years time
3. Private companies invest into other private companies for at least $100 billion per year, good for 2 million new jobs per year, or 10 million jobs in 5 years time
4. So in total, we have 30 million more jobs in 5 years time, which brings in at $15,000 per year employment taxes, $450 billion per year of new tax revenues. Whereas, our $300 billion per year of investment, at 5% investment tax credit per year costs us $15 billion per year, or over 5 years time, at $300 billion * 5 years = $1.5 trillion of investment costs us $75 billion per year of investment tax credits. Thus $450 billion - $75 billion = $375 billion per year of net tax revenues in 5 years time.
5. These investment tax credits are only valid if they keep their investment into the company. As soon as they sell their shares of the company, or the company dissolves or goes bankrupt, then their annual investment tax credit stops.
6. Foreign companies and foreign investment banks invest into the United States, to get their 50% tax credit on their investments in 10 years time, and create an investment company in the Unites States to invest in other companies. This will result in 10 million more jobs in 5 years time and a boost of foreign investment by at least $100 billion per year into the United States.
It becomes more interesting for foreign companies to invest in United States companies than to invest in companies of other countries as the United States investments yields a 50% investment tax credit over 10 years time. This fits into the America First policy of President Trump.
7. Private companies can find and get investors more quickly to grow their company.
The result of these 10-year investment tax credits could be $300 billion per year of new private investments, but it could also result in $500 billion per year or more of private investments, then these numbers are even bigger.
This is a genius way to boost private sector investment and jobs in the United States and brings in additional tax revenues of $100rds of billions per year into our government budget.
