[usmcstinger]

We now have the distinction of having the highest Corporate Tax Rate in the world. Sunday marks the day when the United States accepts the crown for the corporate tax king of the industrialized world. No, it's not an April Fools' joke. When Japan officially chops its rate down to 36.8 percent Sunday, the U.S. becomes the baron of corporate redistribution, with its 39.2 percent rate (including state taxes)

Tobacco tax increase expected to reduce smoking

But hey, taxing a business just means the company will absorb the cost, right?
It's not like they will raise prices to offset their increased costs or anything, right?

Wait I thought the Libs said that those evil corporations pay no taxes?
Or was it that they don't pay their fair share?

Obama now wants a "global minimum tax".......in order to tax any company that has gone overseas (in order to escape the high taxes and remain competitive)....

wow.....that'll do the trick....!
