All of which are doing exactly what I said. They are
paying a hell of a lot in total taxes. It's just
that the effective rate gets reduced from 35% to 15%
or 20% through various tax exemptions. So what? It
has nothing to do with people getting all kinds of
free handouts from the govt who are PAYING NO INCOME
TAX at all. Capiche?

So it's okay with you if GE doesn't pay income tax, but
if a person living on $8,000/year doesn't pay any
income tax, you are livid.

You must be very sad that Michele Bachmann decided not
to run again.

Not a SINGLE corporate entity actually pays "income tax"
For the very simple reason that to a corporation a tax is
just another cost that is factored into the bottom line
The tax is ultimately paid by the consumer Corporate tax
is nothing but indirect citizen tax

Which is a great argument for a gross receipts tax, which
is far harder for corporations to dodge.

Like "The Fair Tax" which gives P.L.L.C.F. seizures whenever
it's brought up in any house of Congress. ^_^

Only because it is not remotely fair.

When there is fair income, then we can talk about the "fair
tax". As long as the poor are screwed by the rich, the rich can
pay the countries bills, since they are the ones benefitting.

Hey I know, there was a wonderful P.L.L.C.F. idea to make it law
that everyone must be paid a minimum of $100,000.00 per year.
That way poor people would have enough money to lead a good life.

What a foolish attempt at a response.

Give him the credit he disserves. He *was* attempting to
communicate with you. He still talked too far above you, obviously.

He may be suffering from H.I.S.I., pronounced "hissy". It stands for
(H)umor (I)rony (S)arcasm (I)mpairment. People with that particular
mental disease are said to have H.I.S.I. fits and often put on a big
display of pseudo-intellectualism about the subject at hand when they
fail to see the humor or bizarreness of statements made by someone who
is attempting to pull their leg. It's also called The Mr. Data response
in some circles. ^_^
