Dear webstersII,

"One important clarification here: Corporations don't pay taxes, they just pass the cost of taxes on to the consumer. People who think corporations should pay more of 'their fair share' are only going to cause retail prices to rise."

Okay. I'll go along with that. So would a lot of our politicians and policy makers, which is perhaps why tax laws have slowly changed in ways that have minimized corporate income taxes.

So, let me rephrase. There isn't a whole lot of corporate income taxes, that are ultimately paid by consumers anyway, to squeeze out of the value chain. There's a little, but it doesn't add up to much, thus saving the final consumer very little.

That's patent nonsense. Check #310 and #399.
