If American Politicians Are Owned By Corporations, How Come

[gipper]

Now, lets see what US corporations ACTUALLY pay in taxes

Dude, you found the same chart I did!!!

Hey Lil' Joe and Leftnutter is it true Rs are responsible for this and Ds are not?

Of course not

Both Democrats and Republicans understand the Golden Rule

He who has the gold, makes the rules

Okay Leftnutter that may be the first post of yours I can agree with.

Are you feeling okay this morning?

We don't. Our EFFECTIVE Tax rate is only 13.4%.

That's a lie that has been debunked

The U.S. Corporate Effective Tax Rate Myth and the Fact Tax Foundation

And even if you were being truthful -- You're not, but even if you were (it's just not possible for a dimocrap to be honest)......

That doesn't explain the FACT that Corporations in the US pay an EXTREMELY high Capital gains rate --

The US has both high corporate and capital gains tax rates vs. other advanced economies - AEI Pethokoukis Blog AEIdeas

The High Burden of State and Federal Capital Gains Tax Rates in the United States Tax Foundation

And even if dimocraps weren't lying about Effective Income Tax Rates and Capital Gains Tax Rates, that still wouldn't explain why the US is one of ONLY 5 Countries in the OECD to charge a repatriation Income Tax.

Like I said, this isn't about Corporate Taxes, this is about THE ******* LIE that Corporations have too much influence on Politics and Politicians.

Only an idiot or a dimocrap (sorry for the redundancy) would believe that.

In overall Tax Competitiveness, the US Ranks dead last Internationally.

2014 International Tax Competitiveness Index Tax Foundation

dimocraps are lying scum.

They play the tune and their zombie followers dance to the music

Those Gruelling U.S. Tax Rates A Global Perspective Cato Liberty

The poor showing of the U.S. resulted from other countries recognizing the need to improve their competitive position in an increasingly globalized world. Indeed, the only OECD member countries not to have cut their corporate tax rates since the onset of the new millennia are Chile, Norway, and, yes, the United States. The high U.S. corporate tax rate not only raises the cost of doing business in the U.S., but also overseas. The U.S., along with just 5 other OECD countries, imposes a “global tax” on profits earned overseas by domestically-owned businesses.

(We're at 126th. Great, huh?)

The fact that both the ITCI and Doing Business report, whose methodologies and calculations were conducted independent of one another, rank the United States very low shows that the tax rates in this country are non-neutral and uncompetitive, no matter how they are measured.

dimocraps lie

period

You want to wonder why something terrible like another free trade agreement can get so much bi-partisan support in Washington if you want to wonder how much influence the corporations have.

Your cherry picked data debunks nothing...you are merely repeating nominal tax rate information

Our effective corporate tax rate is below the average of industrialized nations. Once corporate lobbyists get their say on our tax code and corporate lawyers and accountants soak the code for all it is worth....our corporations pay a very low effective tax rate
