actually the way they think is really scary.....they don’t know all the money the government spends is their tax dollars.....and it will take more and more of their tax Money to pay for all their free stuff...
just like the video games they grew up playing....there is no consequence....nobody ever really dies, cars never need fixed after they wreck. And free stuff is never ending ...because the government has a Free money machine ....
And now... hairy, venomous caterpillars...
Again why are republicans ammuned to their BS?..
Most of us have been taught from an early age that the rich are getting away from paying their fair share. If they just paid what was fair, society would be a dream world.
Many of us eventually grow to think critically; or grow a burning desire to be individuals those that go through this wind up on the right side of the political spectrum.
Those that don't wind up on the left. To them freedom is free from want, free from responsibility, free from worry not free to live your own life, make your own mistake.
Attitudes can be summed up as follows:
Democrats: Take care of me
Socialist: I demand you take care of me
Communist: Take care of me and kill anyone who disagrees
Republican: Leave me alone
Libertarian: Leave me the f*ck alone or I will shoot you
Well if the RICH don't pay their fair share why don't our elected officials change the tax laws not the rates? Oh, Because they are rich! The problem is not with the rates. The problem are all the loop holes. So let's just keep reelecting the bumps we have now.
I’m ok with rich people because a poor man NEVER signed my Or your paycheck....
install a equal tax for everyone...10% across the board....or a 20% National sales tax....the more you buy the more you pay...The rich end up paying more because they’ll buy more stuff...

actually it is pretty much impossible to tax the rich - - the rich (for the most part) got rich because they are smart and know how to make money and if you increase their taxes just like any smart business person they will include that increase in their overhead, their cost of doing business, and then they adjust the price of the goods and services they provide to cover the increase in their overhead/cost of doing business so that they can maintain their profits
in the end anyone in business will always pass down any increase in their costs/overhead and it will keep getting passed down until it gets to the bottom rung of the economic ladder to the people who have no one left to pass it down to
it just the way it works and it can not be changed - you cant stop a business from passing on their costs in doing business without ending that business - - - - business dont exist if their is no profit
they still should be required to pay some percentage. small businesses pay taxes....Large corporation ps should never pay no Income taxes.....A flat percentage would be fair and then the can use their deductions. To lower the rest of the tax...but the flat part should be mandatory for everyone...

and how do you keep them from simply passing it down to their customers/clients???
the answer is you can't - and you never will
as a side note you should remember that "income tax" is not the only way a person/business can contribute to the overall well being of society. There are many other taxes they pay like property tax, payroll tax, capital gains tax, sales tax and the list goes on on top of that they employ thousands of people all of whom also pay taxes and contribute by keeping the economy moving - - - this idea that "Large Corporations" don't pay their fair share is a socialist myth created to demonize them so that the socialist movement can more easily tear them down
without these "large corporations" the economy would stop dead in its tracks and people like you who got to retire early off of the benefits a large corporation provided would have nothing - all of us, even those of us who never worked for a large corporation benefit hugely every single day from the economic drive created by "large corporations"
dont fall for the socialist trap - - Large corporations are not evil and thinking that they are and wanting them punished - - thats what the socialist movement wants from you

I’m not against large corporations....they create jobs. I understand infesting in upgrades and benefit packages.....should any corporation year after year pay no Income tax? When they are paying CEOs millions. The president CEO of the biggest corporation in the world...the United States Doesn’t even make half a million a year...his duties and functions could exterminate the world....I think he’s worth more than any corporate CEO..
the workers of these corporations contribute to their growth and profits..these corporations often get local and state tax breaks ...Those tax breaks are From my tax money....the capitalist system allows them to exist...I’m not saying to rape them. Just a base amount based on their worth.....a million dollar company can pay a percentage....a billion dollar corporation n could pay a slightly higher percentage...
Some of these COEs are worth billions....you mean their company can’t afford to pay a flat percentage for the benefit of the country.....to go toward infrastructure like power grid, highways, sewerage, water all of which benefit these corporations...

and you seem to completely miss the point so I will ask again
If you raise a tax, income tax or any other tax, on a business how do you keep that business from passing that increase in their operating expenses on to their customers?
this is the problem with people thinking you can make big business pay for anything - - - yes you can tax them, but thy will always simply increase the prices of th goods and services they provide - - the owners and shareholders will still make the same or more and you and I will be the ones that actually pay for that increase when we buy their products
also you need to keep in mind that a business, be it a corporation or other type of business, is nothing by itself - without the owners, workers & shareholders its just an empty nothing that does nothing - - it isnt a living thing - - - the people that run it and make it work they are people and every single one of them pays taxes on their income - - - - - -so you on top of all the income taxes that they pay think ther should be some additional tax on the building???
In my view businesses are not living things that should be taxed - - they are just a tool of the owners and workers all of whom pay taxes

if they can afford to pay CEOs millions with The money they charged everyone Extra for their product like you and me....they can afford to pay a flat tax...with the money they are going to charge you and me....and I can choose not to buy their over priced product...
What they can afford changes nothing and arguing with me won’t change it either

you stated your opinion, I stated mine....there aren’t the same...
you stated your opinion, I stated mine....there aren’t the same...
no - - I stated a fact - the rich and large corporations ALWAYS pass any tax they can down for the consumer to ultimately pay
no opinion in that
you on the other hand are stating you fairy tail wishes on how you would like it be
And now... hairy, venomous caterpillars...
We have stinging catterpillars here in Arkansas, just learn to avoid really wooly insects can you'll be safe. If you want to get rid of one, stretch out an 8-inch piece of duct tape and pick it up with that - then throw it on the fire!
But above all, what I like best about that story is the last line...
