It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Boeing moved to Cook County, Illinois, home of the largest jury awards in the nation. When the next 7-series aircraft crashes, that move could very well bite them in the ass. And yes, many corporations pay little or zero net taxes. If you don't believe it, then you ought to try putting your head in the daylight. http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0419/p16s03-cogn.html Keep laughing at the fact that YOU paid more taxes than many corporations did.

Oh contraire. So the rich dont pay taxes eh? B.S anybody can find this crap on the net. Some corporations get away with murder yes they do but most of those are out of country corps. The in country corps that recieved huge tax breaks in 2001-2003 as both your links show are companies that were invested in to help keep the American economy going. Heres some graphs that show the rich pay most the taxes in this country . http://www.ntu.org/main/page.php?PageID=6 The top 10% pay 65% of the taxes in this country. FACT!

micro,
Are you actually trying to look like a dope?
You were LOL'ing about CORPORATIONS not paying taxes. Then you post from Rush's site about INDIVIDUAL income taxes. You're chasing your tail and mixing your metaphors.
You might try comparing apples and apples next time.

the rich do pay alot in taxes.....its the super rich that pay the least percentage.......i have a friend who makes several million dollars a year as a stock scalper working all by himself(no other employees other than his wife.....his business is set up as three corporations and he pays about 10% in tax.......
basically all tax law is designed to build loop holes to help out the poor ole corporations

http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/Taxes/P80242.asp "With corporate tax receipts at 20-year low, the GAO takes a look through the books and finds 94% of all U.S. companies paid less than 5% -- and 61% paid nothing at all." http://www.ctj.org/corpfed04an.pdf This report chose 275 corp's and lists the: "82 Companies Paying Zero Tax or Less in at Least One Year, 2001–2003" Some of the largest in the world are on the list.

Just tryin' to add a little levity folks. :p ------------------------------------------------- On a serious note, do any of you think that making it less profitable for corporations to do business in this country would actually be beneficial to our countries economy or the number of jobs that are created and/or kept here?

Companies can remain profitable and still pay their taxes. Millions of Americans seem to be able to do it.
Not that I expect facism supporters to understand that.

Come on GH you're smarter, I mean more ' enlightened' than that, in fascism the state owns and controls everything including business', who's advocating that? ------------------------------------------------- This is classic :p : "characteristic of the Age of Enlightenment, from which liberalism and, later, Marxism would emerge."
"Fascism is also typified by totalitarian attempts to impose state control over all aspects of life: political, social, cultural, and economic" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism -------------------------------------------------- BTW-- Still anxious to hear the arguments of how raising taxes on corporations helps to create jobs or keep them here in the states.

You just showed that you know nothing about the society from which Marxism sprang.

in fascism the state owns and controls everything including business', who's advocating that? Wake up, Krusty. The businesses are advocating it. Go back and read what Eisenhower said. The "state" is becoming a corporation. Such to the point that corporations are running the country, much like a dictator ala facism. You think Abramoff and Cunningham were isolated cases? It's only the beginning. Supporting American capitalism does not have to mean being a patsy.

I wish those that had such a woody for Socialism would have had some practical experience with it. I have lived in a Socialistic State and I'm here to tell you that there is good and bad with that system, just like the one we live under. Trying to turn gray into black or white is very difficult albeit sometimes satisfying.
