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

Jesus fuckin Christ Rick, how old are you like fuckin 10?  You cant grasp the concept that the companies and politicians are both guilty as hell for getting the tax laws changed. Your making it sound like its just the politicians fault because theya re the one writing the laws. Nope it cant be all the bribe money companies funnel to the lobbyists to pass onto the politicians that could be making them change the laws. Seriously do you think the politicans are just writing these tax laws to help companies for the hell of it. You really are sounding quite navie now.  They both are guilty as sin.

I tried to make it simple for guys like you to undestand by using the basketball story, but i guess you still cant get it.

If i pay a college kid to throw a game and he does throw the game, i guess in your legal mind am not as guilty as the kid throwing the game then?

Do me a favor rick, dont address me in any more threads because am not gonna answer anymore, because i think now all your trying to do is be a smartass and honestly i dont have the time for that shit anymore.

Companies paying politicians to change laws for their benefit is not the same as companies looking for ways to be more profitable. Its fucking dishonest and you should know the difference, but i guess not.

Why are you also a business suckhole, always defending these big corporations that do everything they can to cheat the system. Does it make you feel good knowing you will pay more of your money towards higher taxes, because companies are finding ways to pay less?

Sory but i just dont get you guys and i never will. Everybody should be paying their fair share.  If a company makes such and such profit, then pay the fuckin taxes on it, dont use those profits to pay off politicians to help benefit your company. That my friend is corruption and it needs to be stopped.  This is why the way our govt collects taxes needs to be changed, that way the companies cant payoff our scumbag politicians into passing tax laws that help only the rich.

Have a great life Rick

Please dont even hand me that bullshit, because thats exactly what it is bullshit.

So companies should be allowed to pay off politicians, in order to have tax laws written, that make it so corporations dont have to pay any taxes on their profits, so then in turn the companies can pass some of those profits which they should have paid taxes on in the first place can be passed onto ceos in the forms of big bonuses. Is that what these ceos get bonuses for, being able to get polticians to write laws that skate the tax system.

Wha a fuckin huge crock of shit that is.

Also what about all the profits the corporations make which dont get passed onto the ceo's?  They arent paying any taxes on that money.  How exactly does this help anybody but the corporation?

Its a total fuckin joke

I'm a little guy Wall, make no mistake, however during my holding of GE I profited two ways.

I received dividends and capiltal gains, both of which I will pay taxes on, and happily at that.

If big business is able to thrive, the little guy thrives.

When big business stumbles, like it has over the last couple of years in the US (and globally). The little guy pays the price.

In order to have a heathly economy you need big business.

Tax relief should be given to big business, 35% is absurd. If that was done, I gurantee less corps would keep their money overseas in tax havens, and bring it back home. Helping everyone.

I'm not for one second suggesting all the money that ended up back in the US would go to the little guy.

The big wigs would take more than their fare share, however it is up to regulators and investors to punish those that step over the line.

Good goverance.

Stop lobbying.

Abolish double taxation (by getting rid of corporate income tax).

Cap CEO pay.

If all of which is done, I believe the economy would thrive.

The whole concept of trickle down taxation is incomplete if you ask me..using that concept nobody would pay taxes since someone else should but them.

To me if you exist in an area and receive benefit, then you are responsible for participation in taxation of the area.

There are costs for benefits, nothing is free..yet some want to let the business have free access to all beneficial aspects of society because the individual is taxed.

The business does not exist without the employee, I dont understand how some feel like the employee and municipality is subservient to the corporation and we should bow down and do whatever the corporation wants.

This is an aside from the need to corral spending of course.

Every single part of this post is 100 percent correct, its a real shame more guys dont get it. 

What has me totally bafflled is why these guys keep defending these corporations, yet none of them own large corporations and then when you ask them why they are defending the corporations, they dont answer

If corporations are getting out of paying taxes which are used to pay for services and the functioning of the govt, then somebody has got to make up those loss of monies come in and thats going to be all of us.

On top of that am pretty sure the constitution was written for businesses to pay taxes and not individuals. Yet its completely reversed, we now pay all the taxes and big business pays nothing.

You gotta love renton and his idea that the ceo's bonuses will be taxed thou.  Yeah right. Those bonuses will be put in so many differnt accounts the govt will never see a dime of tax money from them.

The little guy thrives lmfaoooooooooooooooooooo. Most people in the country dont have stocks or 401k plans, so theres no real way the little guy is going to thrive from ge paying no taxes on their profits. They could thou help the little guy by paying some taxes on all that profit they made. This would help to take all the burden off the tax payer.

I go to the casino and win 100,000{Maybe i can give a politician 5k and they can write a law for me to keep the whole 100k, wouldnt that be sweet}, am gonna be paying taxes on the profit, but when ge make a profits they pay shit. Something is seriously wrong and thats why all the lobbyists and tax loopholes need to go.

After the scheduled rate cuts in Japan and Great Britain take effect, the simple average of non-U.S. OECD nations will drop to about 25% percent and the weighted average will hit 29%. This will leave the U.S. rate a full 10 percentage points higher than the weighted average of our major economic competitors.

On April 1, 2011, the US will have the highest corporate tax rate in the world.

Reagan pulled off when of the biggest scams ever pushed on the American people "TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS"

Nothing ever trickles down, it all stays at the top

million x roller.

Even warren buffett who am no fan of at least came out and said it, nothing trickles down.  If you give him a tax cut, that tax cut doesnt trickle down, it stays in his pocket.

Only a fool would believe in trickle down economics.

CD I know you have a pension.

You invest in big business.

You are a little guy.

Get it?

first off they have already moved most of the jobs overseas anyways.

secondly let them close up here and move the rest of the jobs overseas, but give those companie a little wake up call and tell them the free ride of bringing the products back here to sell without paying any import taxes is over with. Watch how fast all those companies bring the jobs back here when they are hit with huge import taxes. Just make so its not worth it for those companies to go overseas and they wouldnt be able to get back here fast enough.
