Expert debunks claim U.S. corporate taxes are too high - CBS News
Funny the corporate tax is 35% yet on average corporations only paid 12%!
Other tax experts have made the same point as Kleinbard. A report by the advocacy group Citizens for Tax Justice noted that 111 of the 288 companies it examined paid zero or less in federal taxes in at least one year from 2008 and 2012.
The truth...
Close this loop hole and then I wouldn't have a problem with going down to 30% for the corporate. Paying zero is just cheating our fucking country out of money that is owed.
I agree it is the economy and the fact the government must subsidize the pay of workers because the corporations refuse to pay livable wages.
Exactly! Corporations shouldn't employ anyone who needs to be subsidized.
That'll save the government a ton of dough.
The top management shouldn't be stealing all the profits, while giving their workers so little. We know this because for the past 35 years the profits have been going more to the very top...
How is this right? And you want to make it even worse by allowing these corporations to pay even less to their workers. wow.
Yes, Comrade, the proletariat is being oppressed by the bourgeois. Workers of the world unite and overthrow your evil masters!
Not sure how one group being paid market wages is stealing from another group being paid market wages, but I don't mindlessly advocate Karl Marx so I guess I wouldn't.

Why should the ceo and the board get 90% of the profit while the people doing the work gets bread crumbs? If market wages are enough to make these fat fuckers this rich...Why not spread it a little more evenly amongs the people that earn it.
You see, your market wages bs just exploded in your face. The company is making enough money to pay them right but they choose to be hogs.

Biggest issue facing america?
We have a black president and many are still stuck in the 60's and can't accept it.
When Obama beat McCain, I honestly thought that his administration would signal a "we've arrived" moment...much in the same way a man's mother accepts his wife as her own daughter. Or when a woman's kids accepts her new boyfriend as a father figure. If the last 6 years has taught us anything its not just the backwards folks in the South, members of Congress have revealed themselves to be just as brain dead and racist.
Save the argument that there are just policy differences.
Before Obama nobody demanded to see a President's birth certificate. Before Obama, nobody (in modern times) shouted "you lie" at the President during the State of the Union. This isn't policy; it's personal.

We have a terrible president, I don't care what color he is.
When Obama beat McCain, I honestly thought that his administration would signal a "we've arrived" moment...
It did. And then he opened his mouth and ruined it. That's what happens when you elect an inexperienced, community organizer.
If he is terrible, I would be most interested in seeing whom you claim is a "good" president let alone a great one. Care to give us names as to whom was good or great?
I think Obama was incredibly naive when he took office and you still see some of that today even. Every President in my lifetime has had some moments of "what was he thinking" I don't see more from Obama than the others.
Reagan was great.
Obama is more than naive, he's downright ignorant. Clueless.
The terrible recovery has led to stagnant wages and lack of opportunity across the board.
It's actualluy corporations subsidizing government by paying wages to people who otherwise would be unemployed. As usual you have it backwards.

No scandals that you know of in the last 6 years huh?Care to give us some objective evidence of greatness?
Can Obama Make History Again NPRBut let me ask you this. If you were ranking the Presidents of the US, where would you put Reagan....10th...15th...20th in the history of the nation?

As for Obama's ignorant...he's actually much more like Reagan in that regard. He hired people to run his agencies and basically looked the other way and the lack of management by Obama mirrors the corruption of the Reagan years.

Top 20 Obama scandals The list - NaturalNews.com
1. IRS targets Obama's enemies: The IRS targeted conservative and pro-Israel groups prior to the 2012 election. Questions are being raised about why this occurred, who ordered it, whether there was any White House involvement and whether there was an initial effort to hide who knew about the targeting and when.
2. Benghazi: This is actually three scandals in one: The failure of administration to protect the Benghazi mission; the changes made to the talking points in order to suggest the attack was motivated by an anti-Muslim video; and the refusal of the White House to say what President Obama did the night of the attack.
3. Keeping an eye on The Associated Press: The Justice Department performed a massive cull of Associated Press reporters' phone records as part of a leak investigation.
4. Rosengate: The Justice Department suggested that Fox News reporter James Rosen is a criminal for reporting about classified information and subsequently monitored his phones and emails.
5. Potential Holder perjury I: Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress he had never been associated with "potential prosecution" of a journalist for perjury when in fact he signed the affidavit that termed Rosen a potential criminal.
6. The ATF "Fast and Furious" scheme: Federal agencies allowed weapons from U.S. gun dealers to "walk" across the border into the hands of Mexican drug dealers. The ATF summarily lost track of scores of those weapons, many of which were used in crimes, including the December 2010 killing of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
7. Potential Holder perjury II: Holder told Congress in May 2011 that he had just recently heard about the Fast and Furious gun walking scheme when there is evidence he may have known much earlier.
8. Sebelius demands payment: HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius solicited donations from companies HHS might regulate. The money would be used to help her sign up uninsured Americans for Obamacare.
9. The Pigford scandal: An Agriculture Department effort that started as an attempt to compensate black farmers who had been discriminated against by the agency but evolved into a gravy train delivering several billion dollars in cash to thousands of additional minority and female farmers who probably didn't face discrimination.
10. GSA gone wild: The General Services Administration in 2010 held an $823,000 training conference in Las Vegas, featuring a clown and a mind readers. Resulted in the resignation of the GSA administrator.
11. Veterans Affairs in Disney World: The agency wasted more than $6 million on two conferences in Orlando. An assistant secretary was fired.
12. Sebelius violates the Hatch Act: A U.S. special counsel determined that Sebelius violated the Hatch Act when she made "extemporaneous partisan remarks" during a speech in her official capacity last year. During the remarks, Sebelius called for the election of the Democratic candidate for governor of North Carolina.
13. Solyndra: Republicans charged the Obama Administration funded and promoted its poster boy for green energy despite warning signs the company was headed for bankruptcy. The administration also allegedly pressed Solyndra to delay layoff announcements until after the 2010 midterm elections.
14. AKA Lisa Jackson: Former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson used the name "Richard Windsor" when corresponding by email with other government officials, drawing charges she was trying to evade scrutiny.
15. The New Black Panthers: The Justice Department was accused of using a racial double standard in failing to pursue a voter intimidation case against Black Panthers who appeared to be menacing voters at a polling place in 2008 in Philadelphia.
16. Waging war all by myself: Obama may have violated the Constitution and both the letter and the spirit of the War Powers Resolution by attacking Libya without Congressional approval.
17. Biden bullies the press: Vice President Biden's office has repeatedly interfered with coverage, including forcing a reporter to wait in a closet, making a reporter delete photos, and editing pool reports.
18. AKPD not A-OK: The administration paid millions to the former firm of then-White House adviser David Axelrod, AKPD Message and Media, to promote passage of Obamacare. Some questioned whether the firm was hired to help pay Axelrod $2 million AKPD owed him.
19. Sestak, we'll take care of you: Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel used Bill Clinton as an intermediary to probe whether former Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) would accept a prominent, unpaid White House advisory position in exchange for dropping out of the 2010 primary against former Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.).
20. I'll pass my own laws: Obama has repeatedly been accused of making end runs around Congress by deciding which laws to enforce, including the decision not to deport illegal immigrants who may have been allowed to stay in the United States had Congress passed the "Dream Act."
With three-and-a-half years of Obama's second term remaining, there is no telling how many more scandals will erupt.
As if this administration is going to prosecute? The Republicans just took over congress, give them a little time....Gee, another reason that Obama is a lot like Reagan...the only difference is that a lot of the above are "may have" and "accused". Why didn't you put the words "convicted", "served", etc... in bold like I did with President Reagan's staff?
