Are People Too Stupid TO Realize That.....
    #14439640 - 05/12/11 11:06 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

A business doesn't pay taxes?  You pay the tax for them.  Example, Exxon made a profit of $49B over some period...over the same period they 'paid' $51B in Taxes. 

Seems the government is making an obscene profit. 

By the way, Exxon didn't pay the taxes.  You all did, when you bought any product that Exxon makes.  So, want to raise taxes more?  So you can pay more?  It's simple economics but we have a president and a congress who well, if it isn't deliberate, they are just moronic fools.

You have to pay taxes.  Doesn't matter how you acquire the money, be it from your customers or some other source, you have to pay taxes.

everyone missing the point.  the business pays the money in...but they got the money from you. 

'You' got the money from working.  When you worked you provided some value so you got money for it, and yes, the company pays more because they have to pay your taxes. 

The point is, you can raise taxes all you want on business and it doesn't fix anything.  They just pass along the costs...or cut employees...do what they have to do to make their profit margin.  If they can't make the profit margin in an economy, they lay people off, close shop, or move overseas.

US has the highest corporate tax rates in the world...almost every other country is frantically cutting taxes.  Why? 

One other point.....what is more efficient 1) 100,000 a company has to invest back into their business, or 100,000 that is first filtered through the government?

Contrary to popular belief, companies don't 'hoard' profits.  They reinvest them into their business or into some sector of the economy that is offering a high return.  If the 'obscene profits' are taken as taxes, that money doesn't get invested back into the economy.

If you dont want to get caught, id figure out a way to launder that money you make stealing and pay taxes on it.

That way it becomes legit dishonesty and then you can get pretected by the law if something goes wrong

Oh yeah, making money is evil.  The government needs to control it all, and decide who and what everyone can do and who the winners and losers are.  Sure has worked well in Greece, North Korea, Cuba....hasn't it?
