tax rate.

I disagree about taxing the wealthy more, though. NONE of us need to give more of the fruit of our labor to be thrown down a black hole of spending, and its not just the federal income tax, there's 15% social security and medicare tax as well.

How do you feel about the largest corporations in the USA not paying any tax at all? Zip. Zero. Zilch. {nm} BSmurf Apr 16, 17:17

Corporations do not pay tax, it is just another hidden tax on whoever uses their products. Passed on as a cost of doing business. {nm} forlorne Apr 17, 06:19

It gets passed on, but not necessarily to consumers. No one actually knows for sure where the burden of corporate tax falls in practice. RogerMore Apr 17, 09:07

Not on CEO salaries. corporate taxes are yet another scam to convince people someone else is paying. {nm} forlorne Apr 17, 12:10

Nah, there are a bunch of good reasons for corporate taxes, you're just choosing to ignore them. {nm} RogerMore Apr 17, 17:07
