Statist worship the federal government, suggesting that we lessen the Feds power and budget is akin to telling a Christian we need less churches

business doesnt pay taxes anyways.  See that's the trick with government.  The company passes costs on to consumers.  They have to. 

If the governemt 'taxes corporations' what they are really doing is putting a tax on your income--if you buy the product, you pay the cost of the tax.  Ditto for sales tax--the sales tax is placed on the business; the business passes the cost on to you.





If you weren't a corporatist whore you would realise that you could make exactly the same argument about the income tax -- once you charge an income tax, workers have to strike for higher wages to cover the tax, which means businesses have to pass the cost onto the consumer in higher prices.

That's not how the world works. You should know better. Companies aren't suddenly going to lower prices because their taxes have gone down lol.

What? You've not heard the retarded calls to revert to the tax rates of 90% on the wealthiest among us? Or maybe I was dreaming that?

Are you retarded?

Ok, I think I should take's wooof's advice to put you on ignore.  You are truly the least intelligent poster in this forum.

The call for higher taxes has NOTHING to do with increased wages.  :picard:

It's to generate more revenue to spend on things for the middle class, such as schools, health care, infrastucure, and so on.


IGNORED!

Gary is all for using the government to force a cake bake.  He threw the LP position in the toilet on that issue.
