the consumer of that PRODUCT does. as they should. not everyone buys
all products
Corporate income
tax is simply a way to make personal income tax higher without making
it so obvious. The only people it benefits are accountants.
uh no. in fact you can exclude taxes, as we do here in PA, on food and
clothing while taxing other items. and sales taxes are really
consumption taxes. if you want to encourage savings, boost sales taxes
of course in this economy that would be a disaster which is why the
GOP has made sure this is EXACTLY how state taxes are structured in
the US
