Liberals also think that big companies such as Wal-Mart don’t pay their “fair share” of income tax and other taxes.
I have worked in the business end of various businesses. I can tell anyone, if they want to listen to facts, that businesses are assessed numerous taxes as the cost of doing business.
There are, to name a few :
income taxes, to both the federal and state governments.
sales taxes
property taxes
unemployment taxes
social security taxes
various excise taxes, depending on the line of business
city or local business license taxes
state business license taxes
And, what liberals don’t address, is that major companies such as Wal-Mart are regularly audited by the IRS and other government entities. Which means that they certainly run their businesses to ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local tax laws. And to ensure that they pay all required taxes.
None of this is enough to suit liberals, I understand. I just wish there were less demagogue preaching from the left when they don’t know what the heck they are talking about.
If leftists had ever run a business, or tried to run a business, I think they would have some different ideas than they preach to the rest of us.
And as far as being an example of modest living... one of Hillary’s speeches garners enough to pay my current job for years. Why liberals shouldn’t be calling her the hottest hypocrite this side of the Hudson River, is beyond me.
Wal-Mart also gives donations to community non-for-profits each month.
Correct. And you are one of the few who understand that when a wage goes up a certain percent, the list you put up also goes up that percent.
It isnt he wages that kills, its the government mandated taxes UC insurances, WC insurances, etc that kill.
In my former business, My WC insurance was 54.50 cents per one hundred. My UC insurance was 7.5%. And of course the FICA was about 7% for my share. Then came the Med care and all the rest. So I would in fact pay an additional 80 to 90 cents per dollar the employee made. So a employee who pulled a 500 dollar check would in fact cost me 900 dollars.
Couldnt do it, I quit since I could not pass a share of the cost down.
I took a look at what the local Wal-Mart pays in property taxes. Yikes.
