Do Wealthiest Corporations Pay Taxes in America?

[Revere]

If you're looking for someone who hates America, start with the guy with purple lips who needs to sell more and more debt to China to keep his scam alive.

Why do you hate the free market?

Are you free if you have to sell debt to China to run your government?

Is it gaming the system to have no US profits but pay US income and corporate taxes?

We're still dealing with Exxon?

They have the full might of our military protecting their business and their profits.

The oil belongs to this country and its people. That we pay them anything at all above labour and expenses is absurd.

 

[JBeukema]

And yet the mantra of corporate taxes keeping jobs down persists.

Only reducing their taxes further can create jobs..

Which "people" take the risks associated with drilling and refining oil?

 

[JBeukema]

The hell with multinational corps..

The Corporation, Corporations Destroying The Planet deprogram on USTREAM. Politics

 

[JBeukema]

Which "people" take the risks associated with drilling and refining oil?

Our employees.

So long as we back them up with our full military might, they work for us.

How many of ours sons, brothers, sisters, mothers, daughters, and fathers have died so they can keep drilling and refining?

playing the tax game and accumulating wealth is a personal option all people can partake of. the government (society) can always change the rules about taxes and corporations.

but accumulation of wealth in and of itself is not evil. vast accumulation of wealth is.

Gekko: Well, I appreciate the opportunity you're giving me, Mr. Cromwell, as the single largest shareholder in Teldar Paper, to speak.

What constitutes "vast" in your opinion?

Do you like that your government has to borrow heavily from China to survive?

I don't like it. Clinton didn't like it either. Which is why he left a surplus. Bush on the other hand.....

From 2001 to 2008, 2.4 million jobs moved to China.

"If you've ever wondered how it's possible that you pay more to the IRS than General Electric...Microsoft, for example, has its overseas subsidiaries license software to its US parent company in return for handsome royalties that get taxed at lower overseas rates. Exxon limits its tax pain with the help of 20 wholly owned subsidiaries domiciled in the Bahamas, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands that shelter cash flow from operations in the likes of Angola, Azerbaijan, and Abu Dhabi....Now quit your carping and get back to filling out that 1040!"
