if a business shows no net profit, why would they pay any income taxes?
If a business pays out most of what it earns to stockholders, taxes are collected on the gains of those stocks.
If a business buys equipment, taxes are paid on the equipment.
A business pays employees, taxes are collected on that.
If a business contracts work out to another company, taxes are collected
don't worry folks the money that exxon made and spent caused many millions of tax dollars to flow into government's itchy little hands.
*truth*
I have a great idea
Let us start up a really really really big War, then eliminate Taxes!!
That would be fun!!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
And we can, we can, we can even say we're liberating the folks we're bombing?
All in the name of De-mock-rah-say!
Running around screaming "it's a lie" doesn't make the truth any less truthful. I have fairly characterized your views. I have also exposed their problems, problems which you refuse to address despite ample opportunity.
You are an empty gourd. Sorry.
Thanks for the obfuscation it's just too bad that you lack the ability and integrity to be honest. Which in the end is all that you have exposed.
So, care to show me when and where I expressed "they ought to just open their coffers to the U.S. government and let it all hang out." as my view?? It's ok you and I both know that you can't which is why you avoided addressing your own words.
Your MIScharacterization as you dishonestly assign a belief to me that I do not hold and have not expressed in any form is not doing anything fairly.
The big difference between you and I is that I posted YOUR words to show how you were being dishonest and in contrast to that all you have done is made the unsupported claim that I was being dishonest.
I showed the proof, you made an unsubstantiated claim. How typical.
You feel it is your duty (and everyone else's) to pay as much money in taxes as they can. You have no basis for this belief. I have already pointed out that corps have a fiduciary duty not to do this and minimize their tax liability. And your response is to call me a liar.More strawmen arguments, imagine that. LOL I pay my taxes and am proud to be an American. I may not like everything that MY government spend my tax dollars on but I feel it is my duty to pay my share. I believe that what these American corporations do to make these profits when they exploit every loophole and move offices overseas to AVOID PAYING TAXES is bad for America.
I don't see how people can try to justify or rationalize that and pretend that it's a good thing.

blahblahblah.
Here are your exact words:
You feel it is your duty (and everyone else's) to pay as much money in taxes as they can. You have no basis for this belief. I have already pointed out that corps have a fiduciary duty not to do this and minimize their tax liability. And your response is to call me a liar.More strawmen arguments, imagine that.

But there. Now you've been exposed for the hypocrite, fraud, and ignoramus you are.
Live with it.
You really are a piece of work you know that?No Nancy, I mean Clancy...you yourself just stated "And you think the Government is any better?" indicating that you KNOW that Corporations are nothing but SCUM.
I, however, believe and KNOW that the Government IS better.
WHO is the government other than you and me and your fellow American citizens...not a bunch of old farts in a corporate dungeon somewhere thinking up new ways to bilk the good folks from their money.
What has the Big Corp done for you lately? What has Big Miner done for you lately?
Aww Nancy? That's cute.
I'd take Corporation Greed over Government Greed any day.
Actually nowadays Government is made out of Elitists, meaning they don't give a darn flying shit about you or me.. They care about their own Special Interests, their own damn Greedy Agendas. Which in the end, hurts us more than Corp Greed.
What has the Big corp done for me? Actually, I work at a Local Ice Rink which indeed is a Franchise, they have provided Money for Gas, Money for my Lunch and Breakfast today and let's not forget money to pay off my new Truck.
You've been completly taught to hate all Corporations, and the only alternative you prefer or seem to think is "better" is Government.
Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.
Thomas Paine
RWers CANNOT help themselves but to be DISHONEST. Its just a part of who they are...its in their very fiber.WOW so now out of sheer desperation and dishoensty you are actually trying to rationalize and to equate taking every tax deduction I qualify for to companies doing everything they can including creating shell companies to hide income to avoid paying taxes on that income.
How is taking deductions equivalent to hiding income to keep it from being taxed?? Funny I thought republicans/righties were against tax evasion?? LOL
Please.
If companies are hiding money, then they need to be prosecuted. Please post lists of actions against companies for doing what they are doing.
There are none. They are doing nothing illegal, therefore no prosecutions. Is it illegal to create shell companies? Is it illegal to shelter income offshore?
No, there is nothing illegal about it. So comparing one way of doing business to assure minimum tax liability to another way to insure minimum tax liability seems like a pretty good comparison to me.
Where did I say that they committed a crime?? I clearly said I didn't like what they were doing to avoid paying taxes on income and your repsonse was to dishonestly try to compare deductions to hiding income to keep it from being taxed.
The only real comparison between the two is that both reduce the amount of money paid to the government on income. You take one attribute that makes them similar and try to claim that they are the same.
Your dishonest comparision is like saying that a fish and a sub are the same because they both travel through the water.
Shouldn't you be kissing Timmeh's ass crack and licking between his toes then...you Money Worshipper?In other news....
President Obama appoints several tax cheats to his cabinet. Most notably, Tim Geitner... a tax cheat... is appointed to the head of the IRS.
