Maybe just maybe this article will start to make some of you die hards realize whos getting screwed

Millionaries, after taxes, are still millionaires. That is a staggering sum of money. It is a double edged sword.

The better method for comparative purposes is percentages. Google the US corporate tax rate to other countries. The results are (to use your word) staggering.

I don't understand your reply...

Accountants, nurses, chemists, surveyors, cooks, clerks and janitors are among the wide range of jobs that get paid more on average in the federal government than in the private sector.

An individual's or corporation's income doesn't belong to the government.

You need to change your outlook a bit there.

Additionally, nobody is complaining about unions breaking "laws"

Where does the cost for defense, education, roads, etc. fit into your analysis?

Perhaps it is your outlook that is 'shortsighted.'

And there have been hundreds of threads dedicated to unions. Haven't seen your face in them.

Holy fuck how many company ceos do we have on this site? I have never seen so many people in one place that want to suck off businesses like i do here on Covers.  Lots of closet ceos here of elese we got a bunch of guys who have a fetish for big business

I have also never seen so many people willing to pay more in their own taxes so big business doesnt have to pay any taxes

Still no mention of the fact that businesses were supposed to pay the whole tax burden in the country and that individuals werent supposed to pay anything out of their checks.

Yeah I got the sarcasm.

Things are a little different in my neck of the woods, but even here we are less and less a resource based economy.

Not when you factor the corporate tax credits that are available.

I read recently that to be considered wealthy, it now starts at 7 million dollars of net worth.

sorry pal, theres an updated thing on that. I read it a few weeks ago on one of the online papers and if i find it again i will post it.

Private sector workers earn more in wages then public sector workers, while the public sector workers earn more in benefits and thats because the publci sector workers did the smart thing and traded wages for benefits when contracts came around, so really stop your pissing and moaning about public workers. also public sector workers dont get the luxury of getting huge bonuses at their jobs, all things that arent calculated in private sector workers wages. So really give me a break that private sector workers have it so bad, because truth is they are just big cry babies that are jealous that they werent smart enough to go for better benefits in their contracts, instead they wanted the cash so they could buy more cases of beer to drink.

So your argument on expenditures and revenue is the government shouldn't be involved. Got it.

I said less and less. Quit trying to break balls, it's old and tiring.
