It has become "amateur hour", where if people don't get those 40% annual returns that they got during the late 90s they'll pull of the mutual funds quicker than you can say "Jack Robinson."

Thank you for bringing back sense to this post. That's very true. Companies that posted a 50% increase last year would find it difficult to do the same this year as they've grown, but the dopes on the stock market don't understand this, so the company execs are squeezed by the stock market to cut costs any which way they can.

65% of US corporations pay ZERO taxes. It's a myth. Mostly it's small businesses that pay any taxes.

Those taxes are passed along to the consumers. So in effect they pay ZERO taxes.

Well yes and no.

Corporate taxes raise the cost of make things. When those things are sold overseas they are less competitive and therefore costs the business sales they might otherwise have had.

Taxes cost everyone who produce things.
