Hannity's statement is a simple, four word summary of a complex economic principle. Corporations obviously pay taxes - lots of them. However, SUCCESSFUL corporations, by definition, must pass those taxes onto their customers. Employees and stockholders must also pay taxes, so it is arguable that the profits are taxed twice - once when the corporations pay taxes, and again when their stockholders and employees pay income taxes. The corporation's customers then must pay double the taxes. That makes it all the more difficult to compete with foreign companies with much lower total taxation on exports.
It's like Trump's border wall. We all know that Trump won't build a 35 foot tall wall down the middle of 1,200 miles of the Rio Grande River, which is 60 percent of the US border with Mexico. However, we DO know that he will stop illegal immigration and drug trafficking all along the whole border. His "Wall" is a simple, effective way of conveying that much more complex situation. So is Hannity's "corporations don't pay taxes".
Understood of course, but when US Corporations pay one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world and is indeed why so much business has left the country, it hurts my ears to hear “corporations don’t pay taxes.”
Oh goody, the new Jack Bauer is a black guy. Guess he saves us all from some white cops.
The wall represents National Security, meaning your going to come to the US legally or we will not host you as had been past policy.
