LA Times lies that average effective corporate tax rate is 27% (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022917553)
In a particularly creepy article by Jim Puzzanghera, entitled "Quiz: Do U.S. corporations pay too little in taxes?" Puzzanghera invites readers to take a "quiz" that could have been written be a Koch brother.

It is basically designed to tell you that U.S. corporations are the most taxed in the developed world (that is the 1st question!). Then, to prove it, they lie. Question #4 asks "What is the average effective tax rate for U.S. corporations?" The choices are: 17%, 22%, 27%, or 32%. As any Google search would tell you ALL of those choices are wrong. It is 13.4% at best. The U. S. corporate tax burden is smaller than average for developed countries. Http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=784. But the LA Times says you'd be wrong if you picked anything other than 27%.
Looks like Rupert Murdoch already bought the paper...

The truth is not the dummies strong point, Ralph. If it was they would all have to admit they are losers. :cheersmate:

No. The idiots merely wish a perception of reality.

All the answers are WRONG!!!
Corporations don't PAY TAXES, they merely collect them from us to pass on to Washington.

Exactly. When will they ever figure that out? The higher tax rate Corps pay the more the DUmmies will pay for goods and services.

....and the more jobs that go to places with cheaper labor and lower taxes.
