“Corporations don’t pay taxes”

Is that why they scream so hard when someone raises their taxes? Is that why they move to low tax states? Why did wealthy Republicans go from being supporters of big government 100 years ago and become supports of small government in the 20’s? You don't think that had something to do with the initiation of the income tax do you? Some of it gets passed through but they pay a lot of it. Why do you think we never heard of big government conservatives 30 years ago? You don't think it had anything to do with their taxes being lowered do you?

Sorry but with the support of amnesty the corporate Conservatives as far as am concerned they can just pay their freaking taxes. Not because they are rich but because they feckless, treacherous duplicitous and just plain deserve to pay them for stabbing us in the back. I used to agree with you recently, but not any more.

Of course corporations don’t want to raise their prices to pass along increased taxes. Corporations don’t pay taxes - people pay taxes. This is sort of capitalism 101. Good luck with your leftist rich-bashing at a conservative site. I’ll have no part of it

The GOPe might get a lot of money from the Chamber, but the real problem is the stupid proles that vote for big government republicans. One of the hallmarks of big government is high corporate taxes with breaks doled out by politicians. The reason our corporate rates are the highest in the world is that the politicians benefit from the power of doling out tax breaks.

The solution is to lower corporate taxes, take away the power of the politician to dole out tax breaks, and then maybe get our chance to vote in politicians that are not bought and paid for by corporations.
