Don't you understand that those 'corporate taxes' that you're clamoring for will be passed on to the consumer? You know, you and me?
You raise their taxes, they raise their prices to cover it.
Walmart made record profits last year, their highest profits in history, $15.7 billion. They are currently in the proccess of giving record dividends to the shareholders before year's end so the Walton's can save $180 million in taxes. The could easily pay each of their 1.4 million American employees $100 more per week, and then they would be paying federal income tax and they wouldn't qualify for food stamps and Medicaid. Walmart would still make $8.7 billion which would be a handsome return on investment for the shareholders and everyone would win.
As it stands now, Walmart subsidized their record profits on backs of every American taxpayer, so you those goods you're getting from Walmart aren't nearly as cheap as you think. Walmart is a company that undercuts the competition and drives tax paying businesses, out of business, cratering out main streets until they're the only place you can shop for miles, and the only place to work as well. Healthy, thriving, tax paying businesses are pushed out, and only Walmart remains. Their workers pay no taxes, they drive jobs overseas.
Yes, pay no attention as Walmart, and the other vulture corporations suck the American taxpayers dry. It's all about those workers whose wages haven't gone up in since Reagan was in power, and who now need food stamps to feed their families, who are the REAL problem, not the guys who put them in this position by shipping their jobs offshore, and then cutting their pay.
