Corporate Tax Revenue Came In 31% Below Predictions, And It's Getting Worse

[Slade3200]

I’m on subject, just had a quick question to see where you draw the line. Why don’t you answer it. Looks like youre dodging.

I did answer,,,

where in the constitution does that authority exist???

my line when we are talking about the feds is the constitution,,,

Ok then so you would consider the VA unconstitutional, right?

if I remember correctly the military is covered,,,

The VA treats retired military. Where does the constitution allow for that?

key word being military,,,

if youre going to go that route,,all government pensions are illegal,,,

I’m not going that route, I'm questioning your logic. So green light pensions and VA care because they are for government employees and military... I’m guessing infrastructure is unconstitutional in your mind, is that correct?

I never said that,,,

unless you can show me where in the constitution that resides,,,

 

[Slade3200]

So would you say that the VA is unconstitutional?

I see you have trouble sticking to the topic,,,

kool-aid has a tendency to cause that,,,

VA is for our military who fights for freedom for everyone in this country.
The left pick and choose minorities for government programs that keep them dependent and always short of that assistance that last week of the month.

We have a government that does things for all Americans. It's called a constitutional republic.

We are not a Socialist Democracy that robs from our rich or our businesses.

You’ve consumed a bit too much Koolaid. taxation is legal. To Rob would be illegal. Tone it down a bit

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.

Good. Now let's ax the dept. of agriculture. There's 150 billion a year right there.

That all depends on how you define General welfare” doesn’t it?

Sounds like you need to get Edward to help you with that "general welfare".

Theft is illegal plain and simple. If it is taken under the rule of law then it is part of our legal system. Robbery and theft is dishonest hyperbole.

That’s your opinion. Others disagree. Also there is no stealing. All collections are legal

Time to slash spending.

That will not happen as long as people keep voting for nothing but Repubs or Dems

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.

And who thought (not republicans) that this would be the result of the gift from the grifter to the beggars.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Time to slash spending.

The OP's head just exploded. lol

As did most Republicans', since they seem to have as much reluctance getting spending under control as the Democrats do.

 

[skews13]

That's awesome! Now that the tax cuts are locked in next we need to boot all the deadbeat mooching losers off welfare and cut spending.

How much do we spend on welfare?

to much,,,

How 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,,,

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.

You're asking one of these losers to have a smart conversation? I'll give you credit for trying to be civil about it.

If they go to jail then they broke the law. I don’t know who gets killed for not paying taxes so that sounds like more hyperbole to me
