I'd love an answer to my question about Corp. taxes

[nat4900]

So far, no right winger has really been able to address this important question.....

EVERY republican who has wanted the oval office has run on the mantra that US corporate tax rates are too high and that is why corporation leave and take the jobs with them.....

For how many years have republicans run on this mantra?

TOTAL BULLSHIT !!!

Please name FIVE or so U.S. corporations that have paid the full 35% of corporate taxes that are currently statutory?

 

[SYTFE]

Heh. Great question.

 

[The Great Goose]

Trump is left wing.

Get out and vote, peeps.

Corporations are not going to ;pay the maximum amount in taxes when they can use loopholes to get around paying.

Do you believe Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and so on want to actually pay the actual 35% in taxes without using loopholes to cut it down?

So you already know the answer to your question, so tell me do you believe Hillary Clinton will be able to close those loopholes when you know the House will be GOP after this November election?

Speaking of gullible, you really believe the total unadulterated bullshyte that Trump throws at you every single day. You still believe that he will build a wall and deport 11 million people? You still believe that he is so rich that he will personally fund his own campaign?

Now where have you read that opinion of mine before and of course she will say one thing to the voters while doing what her masters tell her behind those close doors!

She said as much:

"Clinton says she has ‘both a public and a private position’ on Wall Street: WikiLeaks release"

Since you bring that up.....

Perhaps you'd care to entertain this query.....

As the candidate you have chosen is known as a criminal and congenital liar, revealed to have sold access to the United States Government, and wishes for open borders ....

.....while the other is acclaimed as a successful entrepreneur, who has promised to embrace the Constitution.....


....what is the argument in favor of the former over the latter?

 

[my2¢]

The companies that would benefit the most from a reduction dollar-wise because of their huge size would be:

Exxon-Mobil: effective tax rate 44%
Chevron: 43.2%
Apple: 26.2%
Wells Fargo: 31.6%
Walmart: 31.1%
ConocoPhillips: 51.5%
JP Morgan: 26.3%
Berkshire Hathaway: 31.1%
IBM: 24.2%
Microsoft: 19.1%​

Companies Paying the Most (and Least) Taxes

​

But these are large and mostly international companies. I'd be interested on the take of far smaller corporations who go mostly unnoticed.

p.s. Decided to look at random company and choose Kroger and looked at their financials. For years 2013-2015, they paid at a rate of 32.9%, 34.1%, 33.8%. Something to think about next time I'm picking up bananas.

An article from the TaxFoundation contains federal data for 2010, reporting the following:

• Top 1% earned 18.9% of $$$$, paid 37.4% of taxes.
• Top 5% earned 33.8% of $$$$, paid 59.1% of taxes.
• Bottom 50% earned 11.7% of $$$$, paid 2.4% of taxes.

Other bracket breakdowns are in the link if you’re interested.

Raw IRS Data is available for review as well. Look at the heading “Number of Returns, Shares of AGI and Total Income Tax, AGI Floor on Percentiles in Current and Constant Dollars, and Average Tax Rates” for “SOI Bulletin article—Individual Income Tax Rates and Tax Shares, Table 5″ (file 10in05tr.xls).

The “Adjusted gross income share (percentage)” and “Total income tax share (percentage)” are listed by year, from 2001–2010 for anyone interested.

For 2010, the top 25% earned 67.6% of income, and paid 87.1% of federal income taxes

and so on and so forth the gullible (you) will defend her

what is odd is that an obama favorite GE paid nothing

 

[nat4900]

My point was and IS that when a republicans tells you that taxes on corporations are too HIGH, that individual is spewing bullshit........Few, if any, are paying that 35%......

So, it is NOT that taxes are too high, it is that cheaper labor overseas is what draws them to leave..

Lets face the truth then, rather than swallow the bullshit and blindly nodding our heads to these liars.i

 

[my2¢]

But wouldn't it be better to lower the 35% down to 20% and get rid of loopholes which allow corporations to skate by on next to nothing by that logic?

ABSOLUTELY that would be better....but all we've ever really gotten is the lowering of taxes AND the loopholes manage to stay exactly where they are.

Besides, GWB LOWERED taxes while fighting 2 wars on a credit card.
