There is/are no tax(es) on American business.

I think you mean well, but that is false. It is a favorite line of Democrats who want to spend more and more tax revenue.

People actually in business know that taxes kill profits and taxes take the money that could be used to employ more people to expand the business. I was in business and I know whereof I speak. I hope you see the light.

"I think you mean well, but that is false. It is a favorite line of Democrats who want to spend more and more tax revenue."

Did you actually READ what I wrote?? I hardly think that acknowledging that ALL taxes are paid by individuals...the only difference between direct taxes and indirect taxes are who does the "collecting" is something the Democrats argue. Their argument is that "those nasty rich people who own the businesses are the ones that pay "business taxes"", hoping that the dunces who support them never realize that "that ain't so"."

"People actually in business know that taxes kill profits and taxes take the money that could be used to employ more people to expand the business. I was in business and I know whereof I speak. I hope you see the light."

As one CURRENTLY in business, and part owner of a small, but successful company, I think I "might" have an inkling of what is involved. What kills business is the constant increasing overhead of having to do "stuff" that isn't directly oriented to producing product for a profit, whether that be enforcing all the regulations or acting as a tax collector for the gov't.
