That's a good one!Time to slash spending.
Federal tax payments by big businesses are falling much faster than anticipated in the wake of Republicans’ tax cuts, providing ammunition to Democrats who are calling for corporate tax increases.
The U.S. Treasury saw a 31 percent drop in corporate tax revenues last year, almost twice the decline official budget forecasters had predicted. Receipts were projected to rebound sharply this year, but so far they’ve only continued to fall, down by almost 9 percent or $11 billion.
Though business profits remain healthy and the economy is strong, total corporate taxes are at the lowest levels seen in more than 50 years.
Big businesses paying even less than expected under GOP tax law
But the frightening thing is that, despite all the sugar Trump and the Republicans have poured into the system, dark clouds continue to gather on the horizon. The economy looks set to slide into a recession with interest rates near record lows and corporations already basking in gifts even bigger than predicted. Any “stimulus” that happens to pull the U.S. out of this one, isn’t going to come through tax breaks for corporations. That well is already dry.
So would you say that the VA is unconstitutional?That’s exactly what taxation is, that’s how our system is set up. We steal from everybody and pay for our military, the VA, our roads, Trumps golf... all kinds of things. So now it comes down to budgeting and prioritizing. You want to cut welfare. To make a case for that you should know how much is being spent, what % of our spending it compromises, and what we will save by the cuts. Also what additional costs or issues will result from making those cuts. So how about you attempt to have a smart conversation about this and address these points with thoughtful answers.How much?to much,,,
one dollar is to much,
not the job of the fed gov to steal from one person and give that money to another,,,let alone someone that hates their/my guts,,,
I would love for you to show me where the welfare program is in the constitution???
taxs are for paying operating cost,bills and debt not handouts to one group of people from another,,,,
To answer your question... the constitution does not specifically address welfare. We have Jefferson’s writings on conservative taxation and Hamilton’s who had a much more liberal view. And within our system when there are disputes about legality it is brought up in the Supreme Court which in its rulings has allowed for taxation to be used for things like defense, infrastructure and yes welfare.That’s exactly what taxation is, that’s how our system is set up.

Two years ago. The GDP never hit 3% in a yearly average for the entire eight years of the Hussein administration.When did GDP hit 4% for the first time in a decade?! I must have missed that newsThe system must be working if the GDP hit over 4% for the first time in a decade and the DOW hovers around 25,000 while unemployment is at it's lowest since the early 70's. What's the point? Do lefties want to punish corporations during republican administrations or the neo-socialists just hate what makes America great?
Ok then so you would consider the VA unconstitutional, right?I’m on subject, just had a quick question to see where you draw the line. Why don’t you answer it.

You think the annual GDP was 4% for 2017? Do you have a link to that?Two years ago. The GDP never hit 3% in a yearly average for the entire eight years of the Hussein administration.When did GDP hit 4% for the first time in a decade?!

Just because you don’t agree doesn’t make it rigged. The constitution that you hold so dear outlines a division of power and a process to take in law making. When there are disputes about constitutionality of laws then the Supreme Court decides. That’s how the constitution outlines our process and that’s what happened in regards to taxation and welfare. So it’s legal. Like it or notSC cant change or make law,,,I may have lost , but that only means the game is rigged,,,and the country and poor lost also,,,Not according to the Supreme Court.
