Republicans say: GE paid no taxes! What is their point?

[ClosedCaption]

Crony capitalism, always defended by the lame stream far right, is wrong, whether left or right supports it.

this is what the right is pretending to not understand. They use the lie that dems are defending GE as a excuse why they defend other corps for dodging taxes.

the "look over there" defense isnt a defense at all...its a distraction and a lie

 

[daveman]

I am mainstream while you are a lamestream GOP.

Jake, mainstream Republicans don't bitch that Obama is not far enough left.

 

[daveman]

But to save space, he's having it converted into dwarfstar.

Is it cloaked?

well, it's dense enough to bend light...

 

[daveman]

my world doesnt revolve around you shit-stain.
You have zero integrity.

Considering I admitted I was wrong when you predicted I wouldn't, and then you refuses to acknowledge it, I'd say you're the one with the integrity deficit, kid.

Run along, boy.

Watch out Dave, your postings sometimes release the
dreaded and feared

Of course the RINO's can NEVER prove their lies
Watch, notice how they will get into a hissy fit when
you ask them for any proof.



RINO Kraken - No lie is too big to tell!

Plasmaball claims to be a Republican?

He's as full of shit as Jake is.

I'm a capitalist, however politicians use our economic model as a tool......

Some should have their fucking hands cut off.

 

[JakeStarkey]

I am mainstream while you are a lamestream GOP.

Jake, mainstream Republicans don't bitch that Obama is not far enough left.

Neither do I. You bitch because you are so far lame stream right you can see over the horizon to the center of the discussion.

I agree that politicians are often quite greasy. So are many here, far left and far right, on the Board. They don't believe in the welfare of America, only their own narrow corrupt interests.

 

[Flaylo]

The point is that GE is a prime example of Big Government Cronyism in which those who are politically connected receive taxpayer money while those who aren't foot the bills.

I have consistently criticized GE not paying taxes yet to everyone I'm a fvar leftist liberal, so which is it, do you Repugs support making the rich pay their taxes or not?

 

[JakeStarkey]

All real Americans from left to right believe that corporations should pay their fair share of taxes.

 

[midcan5]

This debate seems rather hypocritical of the right wing conservative republicans. Their only substantive topic is taxes on which their whining and moaning makes Hamlet look like a straight shooter. Corporations rule America today, big money republicans control the message, anyone who doesn't know that lives under a rock.

As far as the rich, they only make those enormous sums because of the state, so they are only morally entitled to an enormous sum, but not an absurd sum. The Conservative Nanny State

MSM is not liberal, it cannot be it must always protect money.

You disagree with it? You think "being a liberal" is an accomplishment?

Really?

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Man,even the Left's Boogeymen Walmart & Oil Companies paid Taxes. What's going on with this President and GE? GE pays no taxes and gets their CEO Jeffrey Immelt in there as his "Jobs Czar?" Pretty bizarre and disturbing stuff in my opinion. The Left should be outraged over this. It seems they're not outraged only because this President has a 'D' by his name rather than an 'R.' That's just very low & dishonest.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Now glibawfulnessNow is just repeating the lie hoping that no one will mention that they GE paid their taxes..

 

[sealybobo]

Are repubs for more taxes with that statement? Are they for more taxes just on GE with that statement?

One wolf points at another and screams "He ate...A SHEEP!" as he pulls the wool out of his own teeth

Twice as many companies paying zero taxes under Trump tax bill

They tried to suggest that Obama and Democrats were the party for the rich, when we all know that's stupid.

Clearly Republicans are the party for the rich. Look at how twice as many companies pay no taxes after Trump's tax bill.

 

[sealybobo]

We say it to point out the left's hypocrisy. You say it's damn near criminal that companies legally avoid taxes...but not a peep about GE, who happens to be BFF with the Boi King.

I guess some animals are more equal than others, huh?

We don't like it that GE pays no taxes. Did Obama Pelosi and Reed pass a bill saying GE should pay no taxes? Please show us that it was Obama that made the tax policy that allowed GE to pay no taxes.

This was an attempt to suggest that Democrats are the corporate sellouts. But now we see under Trump twice as many companies now pay ZERO taxes.

Congrats on the debt and ultimately your taxes will have to go up, dummy.

That would be stupid. YOUR spending will have to go down.
