You must be talking about corporations.

I'm sure you have seen this before,
but, who do you think pays ALL corporate taxes.
Since you don't answer my questions, I'll tell you.
You and your friends pay All corporate taxes, where
do you think they get the money. They get that money from
you, your cellphone bill is increased so the company can pay
it's taxes. Everything you purchase costs more because the
corporation is taxed. I think we would be better of eliminating
corporate taxes, that would provide lower priced products and
create more jobs. The offset would be a higher tax rate, but you could
live on less income.
Hey, I have a great example, I had competition under cutting my
prices by 30%, what I sold for $7.50 they sold for $5.00. Why, one
reason is they didn't pay federal income taxes or FICA taxes. There were
other things, but that's at least 30% of profits.

Gosh. A grad of the London School of Economics. Here's a clue...if the
pittance in taxes corporations pay were reduced, prices would not be.
Why? Why, corporate greed, of course.

Next.

But, but ... corporations *aren't* people. Or are they?

Hmm... what have I miss, I lowered my prices in an effort to keep
the customers I had for the last 12 years, and earned between $15k and
$20K less that year.
Even two years later I have people stopping to ask me where that boat
is, they want that cheaper shrimp. They think I'm a rip off, because
they bought it cheaper before, from that guy that didn't pay federal
taxes. The free market self corrects prices. Are there anomalies, sure.
Here we have Panama City and Panama City Beach, just a bridge away
from each other. The beach shrimp prices are much higher, I hear from my
customers 40% more is a reasonable quote. They can charge that because
their customers are more tourist related than mine. They can get people
leaving for home, and they pay the higher prices, because they are
there. They also have higher expenses on the beach, so they need to
charge a little more.
I get my share of the beach goers though, because my lower prices
brings them over the bridge.

One corporate thing that got to me, is the cellphone industry. Years
ago I had an ABC cellphone, the base price was $39.95 per month. The
final cost after taxes and other government charges was about $51. XYZ
company came out with a base price of $36.95 per month, I switched to
reward them for their lower price. When I got the first XYZ bill It was
actually more then the ABC bill. The &^%$* company had two additional
XYZ charges. It was $3 more instead of $3 less. I was ****ed and started
a government complaint form but never completed it. Almost two years
later something came up with a bill and I raised this issue, they
removed whatever charge I was complaining about. It was like "ya, we did
wrong, let's just quickly and quietly solve any issues you may have".

I would post names, but I don't remember who the offender was, AT&T,
Sprint, Sprint/Nextel or Verizon. Although I don't think it was Verizon.
I'm pretty happy with them, easy to work with, I like the
notifications,"hey you have used 75% of your minutes, the billing period
ends on the 2nd" if we need to cut back we can. Nice bill, I can easily
breakout business use from personal.

Nice try, but the reality, from your posts here, is that you are just
another right-wing racist.

Your ignorance is showing.

You frequently put up posts that attempt to show minorities in a bad
light. You're a racist.

I think you and many other liberals have a hair trigger when it comes to
accusing people of being a racist. Then again, it serves the liberal
purpose.

Do you know any liberal racists?

When you consistently put up posts that show minority racial groups in a
bad light, you are a racist. We have a number of such posters in here,
including Herring, your moronic buddy in Florida, California Swill, BAR,
AMDX and a few others.

Certain minority groups and individuals can't be shown in a good light.
It might be better if pictures of the alleged perps be omitted from the
stories. Then you could judge by the merits of the case.

You are suggesting that a gun nut pay attention to details and facts. A
thankless task.

A 'gun nut' saved some lives. What have you done to better that
lately?

How's your brother doing?

I'm asking because if I had a brother dying of cancer, I'd be concerned
with easing his pain/anxiety, and that of his immediate family, and
*not* be posting the sort of crapola you post on usenet.

Unlike you, John is not one dimensional. And besides, your motivation is
to cause emotional trauma. You are a ****ing douchebag.

Funny things your thoughts. You have a very warped view of racism. No
democrat can be a racist according to you. MikeK is married to a minority
from what I understand. My best friend growing up was 2nd generation
Chinese. My fishing partner for years was black. Still help and am good
friends with his widow. You on the other hand lose racism!
