This was sent to me by another poster,who felt that it would be received better were it posted by an actual American.That in and of itself is sad,sad that someone has been made to feel that information would be rejected,scorned or attacked simply based on the source that presented it. I certainly hope that poster was,in large part mistaken....and yet mistaken or not in that opinion...it does speak volumes about the way in which some of our contributors are made to feel. Well anyway here is the information ; http://www.alternet.org/economy/150387/2_3rds_of_us_corporations_pay_zero_federal_taxes:_us_uncut_movement_builds_to_make_them_pay_up/?page=entire

We just need to cut social security and medicare so we can provide more corporate welfare. Then milk and honey rains down on everyone.

There are reasons... if you haven't seen THIS check it out... it is only 13 minutes and gives real insight into corporate thinking on taxes in America. Butch

Butch What an amazing bunch of bullshit!!!! A level playing field so corporations can be competitive? Gee, I thought Google was doing pretty well. What we are talking about here is corporate greed. What's your tax rate KD, 25-30%? But we should be lowering it to 5-15% for these companies for what reason other than those companies trying to extort tax breaks by threatening to move offshore. Maybe the answer should be that we tighten up the tax code to stop this nonsense. These companies are not going to abandon the U.S. simply because there is too much profit to be made here.

There's that word, "FEEL!" Leftists don't "think", they "FEEL." They don't "dislike" something they're "OFFENDED" by it. "Whoa, everyone stop in your tracks!!!" "Little Justin the Trust Fund baby is sitting in the corner,......"OFFENDED!" "GROUP HUG, Quickly!!!"

Silly boy...did you not watch with your eyes open...lol They don't have to leave... just open a po box in Switzerland and call it their corporate headquarters and pay much lower taxes. You can rant all you want but if other countries have lower tax rates in this day and age they will register their. Butch

Nancy Pelosi with all her and her husband's businesses would never go along with that.

Think starting here would be a good thing. Though, hey, struggling to pay his mortgage on a buck 74.........I feel for the man... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWeWj4eEtfg

You constantly rag on leftists, liberals, and Democrats and then claim you are not a conservative Republican. Maybe you are just having an identity crisis.

If only everyone would just pay a porportional pecentage to income, we'd probably have all the money we need to run the ship of state. What's wrong with everyone and I mean EVERYONE (corporations now that they're considered people, too) paying say, 8%? ETA: NO EXCEPTIONS! Nada, zilch, zip!!

Butch So what should we do Butch, just cut or eliminate corporate taxes and then raise taxes on individuals to make up for the shortfall? This conservative idea that we should ass-kiss corporations is one of the major reasons for the deficits we have.

By the time you make a dollar (and pay taxes on that) then go to the store (and pay taxes on everything you bought) then pay income taxes at the end of the year, whats left of that original dollar?

What's wrong with everyone and I mean EVERYONE (corporations now that they're considered people, too) paying say, 8%? ETA: NO EXCEPTIONS! Nada, zilch, zip!! What's wrong with it is proportional. Eight percent from someone making 20K a year puts far more of a burden on them than taking eight percent from someone making 200K a year.
