Trickle UP vs Trickle DOWN? Why aren't Corporations paying all the taxes?
Edited on Sat Oct-09-10 07:38 PM by howaboutme
We live in a consumer driven society as defined by those in control (i.e. Wall Street, CNBC and the government). Therefore why don't the wealthy, the corporations and Wall Street pay ALL of the taxes that are supposedly needed to run our government, run military and fight for our freedom? If average Americans had more in their pay check they would spend more.
Instead they (the rich capitalists such as Larry Kudlow, CNBC, and their ilk) are always attempting to lobby Congress to reduce taxes for the corporations and the rich, while claiming by default that average Americans should be paying more?
Corporations have the lawyers and they have the attorneys and they should have the intellect and intelligence to understand that when average Americans have more money and less taxes that they will buy more if they have more money.
Why has this concept been lost on fools such as Congress, Federal Reserve and Larry Kudlow who have never seen a tax cut for the rich that they don't prefer over lower taxes for the masses?

1. I contend that there isn't a company or business that pays taxes.
Only individuals pay taxes.
If companies and businesses paid taxes they would always be in the red. The companies and businesses pay taxes on behalf of individuals or companies that buy their goods or services. The taxes are built into the cost of those goods and services.

3. Good point. companies don't pay taxes they collect taxes.
They include the taxes into the cost of whatever they are selling and then the customer pays the tax which the company passes to the government.
Lousy freeper trolls. :lmao:
I swear in every post at DU someone is wanting a free ride. They want the wealth of other people taken away and freebies given to them. How about you morons get off your ass and get one of those jobs beneath you?

If we win in Nov expect the stupidity to grow even more at the DUmp.
These fruitcakes believe that they are owed a living just for being alive.
Not one of them is willing to actually work for that living though. They want free everything plus 8 weeks of vacation a year and 15 paid holidays and God knows what else.

UGP would best benefit humanity and the ecosystem if he/she/it did the proper thing: take the "eternal dirt nap" and became a worm feast.
DUmmies in general, and UGP in particular, are a waste of space, skin, and oxygen.
