To: keep your powder dry

What do they care? Companies don’t pay taxes, we do.

Your post implies that companies should not care, a mistaken belief about corporate taxes. Companies are rational in their preference for lower corporate taxes. In the long run, a company must pass on costs to consumers to remain viable. In the short run, a company may not be able to pass on all costs due to competition and other factors. Even in the long run, a company may have lower profits because of reduced sales due to onerous corporate taxes. Thus, companies are rational in their opposition to high corporate taxes.

That’s exactly right, taxes are a cost of doing business and are passed along to consumers. The FairTax is the solution: Everyone, see www.FairTax.org and sign up.
The FairTax eliminates the entire federal income tax system and the IRS. There is legislation pending in Congress which is being held up by Obama’s Socialist Party. If millions of us demand the FairTax, Congress will have to listen. Tell your Congressmoron you will not vote for anyone who doesn’t support the FairTax.
