Corporations don't pay taxes, they just collect the money from their
customers, tack on some profit and pass it on in the cost of the
product.

It is just a way to put a hidden tax on the consumer, similar to a
VAT. The only problem is you punish the American company for doing all
of it's business inside the US. If you are a multinational, it is very
easy to make all of your "profit" in another country. Hence the
companies you listed did not make a "US profit".

Really... the CEOs don't pay taxes either, apparently. Nobody has
"punished" companies. Their effective tax rate is quite low. Nice try
with the right wing agenda talking point though.

Keep you head up your parrots ass Polly.

This world is now competing on taxes and USA is losing fast. Fact is you
have a big fat out of control debt corruption government that doesn't
give a rates ass about the people, they only care about being bigger.

And the more the government gets, the less the people get. No amount of
fleabegging is going to change reality, USA is bankrupt. Don't give up
your job.

Too late. She already quit her job as patent researcher, or was it
building inspector?

Looks like she only lasted Monday and got fired.

Looks like you remain the clown of the newsgroup...
