You must be talking about corporations.


You're not reading well.

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.



You live in an endless circle. Or spiral.



Oh. *You* think prices would be lower if *all* corporations were located
offshore and none of their earnings were subject to U.S. taxes. Right.


What the hell are you talking about? I didn't say any such thing.
I was commenting on your endless criticism of ... well, *everything* to
do with the country that has apparently treated you so well.
