Yes corporations get TAX BREAKS, tax breaks that are already IN LAW and are supported by republicans. You see FIRST you have to comprehend what the tax cuts are and where they're applied to even have a fucking viable opinion in this matter. You know neither so your opinion is moot. Quote:
You're hating something you know absolutely nothing about which makes your hate 100% unfounded and illogical. Quote:
All the bullshit you believe about corporate America is ALL LIES AND PROPAGANDA manufactured by those who subscribe to the Che Guevara philosophy. Do you realize this???? Do you realize your being conned by a bunch of communists???????? If you want to believe the communist party FINE but that makes you a fucking moron for buying their lies. I don't mean to be mean here but your level of gullibility is absolutely stunning. You sit here and buy into all this anti-capitalist nonsense being spewed by the communists in this country.... WHY???? Why don't you go LEARN about the financial aspect of business THEN decide to hate corporate America. To make it simple, If the corporation DIDN'T get tax beaks they would be stuck with EPIC amounts of toxic assets that by rule would be harmful to the company for the simple fact they by general rule depreciate and become a liability... |

Re: If Corporations are People can they run for office?
Wow, I thought we were making some headroom. What are you so pissed about? I simply said your statement contradicted itself, which it did the way it was worded, I was hoping for a clarification. I easily could have insulted you for contradicting yourself but I just let you know I did not know what you meant.
Anyway, as I stated before, I'm not a Liberal. I actually do know about business quite a bit. I've stated fact after fact, all which point to the fact that corporations get excessive tax breaks often times at the cost of the american tax payer. Including you. Obviously completely missed by you. Facts, facts and facts are what I've provided, you've rebutted with "everyone knows".... and that I'm a fucking moron for believing the communist party. I'd love to see who is a communist that I am listening to or reading. But I doubt you can provide proof of that either. No facts, no figures, nothing but I know nothing about business. LOL. Since this is obviously un-productive and you will continue to act like a child and no number of facts I produce will be even read by you, in addition to no facts provided by you to rebutt, there's no point. Obviously you will say you won in your own mind because if you ignore the facts, produce no facts of your own (even though I've asked for some) and throw out insults.... well I guess that's how you win an argument in your own mind. In other words when you decide you'd like to act with the type of respect I've even shown to you, then we can try again. Until then strip down to your tighty whitey's and do the jig for all I care, but I'm done. Have a nice day. |

Your whole beef with capitalism is clearly partisan and not factual. You talk of "poor wages" as justification for your hate of capitalism and any person that has a background in business knows that people are NOT paid poorly.... Could they make more? sure, but they do via raise when they stick with the program. Look NO business in their right mind is going to offer $20.00 per hour right off the bat for remedial work. Your hate for business and capitalism is TOTALLY unjustified and completely influenced by communist philosophy. |

Re: If Corporations are People can they run for office?
Let me ask you a few basic questions,
Do you feel corporations have influence within our government? Yes or no. Do you think the middle class has shrunk or grown since the 50's? How many Americans are out of work today? What is the pay ratio for a CEO today compared to 30 years ago? Are you wealthy or do you think you will be wealthy some day? |

You're doing fine Politico, some people don't have rational methods to dispute valid points, so its hard to have BBS discussions with them.

So what exactly is your beef now? EVERY special interest group has their hands in government. Do I think the middle class has grown or shrunk? What type of question is that? define middle class. You couldn't be more vague. Sorry buddy Americas are out of work because Bill Clinton is a fucking prick and people in general are lazy assholes that think everything is free. YOU are to blame buddy if you have credit card debt and didn't pay it off. WHO FUCKING CARES WHAT A CEO MAKES...ITS FUCKING IRRELEVANT. DOES A CEO'S PAY EFFECT YOU????? WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO DICTATE WHAT A CEO GETS PAID WHEN YOU DONT OWN ANY BUSINESS? Like I said, you have not fucking points just POPULAR LIBERAL HATE for capitalism. Like I said YOU have a problem with someone making more then you do. YOU HAVE ZERO ARGUMENT... its nothing more then bitching because YOU aren't rich. Now were fucking done here, because clearly its impossible for you to comprehend that YOU DON'T HAVE A SAY IN OTHER FOLKS BUSINESS. If you don't understand its NON OF YOUR BUSINESS then I have no interest in even talking to your kind. |

Re: If Corporations are People can they run for office?
The OP just tore apart the nonsensical notion of corporate person hood but it seems like it went over most of the posters heads. It is a travesty that an amendment that ended slavery would be used today to give corporation's special benefits.

People continue to say this but DON'T give an example of this. Yes their are tax breaks allotted TO business and rightly so, but thats only because GOVERNMENT CANT TAX EVERYTHING A MILLION TIMES. DO you fucking get that? Or is that too hard to comprehend for some people? So you people would be fine with the government taxing EVERYTHING at every stage of production? IF that was the case MANUFACTURING WOULD BE MOOT! If the government taxed shit at every stage of production YOU WOULD PAY A HIGHER COST for it at the store and MOST of the shit wouldnt be economically viable. You want to pay 10 bucks for a bar of soap????? Well if the government taxed soap at every stage of production THEN in fact you would end up paying 10 bucks for a bar of soap. GOD FORBID THE COMPANY GETS TAX BREAKS. You want tax beaks? Start a fucking business. Maybe you will learn something? |

Re: If Corporations are People can they run for office?
Swoop,
First Corporate person hood is an oxymoron, corporations are large collections of people, not a single entity. Second, corporate person hood gives corporations special benefits that are not awarded to other businesses. Yes one of these benefits is tax privileges, but also limited liability which give corporations unfair advantages over businesses that are not incorporated, say like worker cooperatives. If you think that the state granting privileges to business simply because they are ran hierarchically is a good thing, then there really is nothing more to say on the subject. That is not a free market.

You're acting like a child. you refuse to actually read what I've written, it's amazing you've been able to draw the conclusion that I'm a liberal, because I actually want a smaller government than apparently you do. You've made statement's that are contrary to fact (such as corporations paying more taxes). You are apparently one of those who thinks these CEO's with the millionaire execs are people who should be running this country, because afterall, they're rich. Rich don't equal right. Let me put it another way, you sit there and defend that the people influencing the country are the wealthy businessmen, because they "pay more taxes" (which actually, they pay less taxes than we do by spending more on lobbying), but they have one purpose, to make more money. Businesses can't vote, but they can influence politicians. There's a reason they can't vote. Finally, look at the state of the US industries, these are the people you want running the country, and doing a damn fine job of it aren't they? |

If they cannot survive without bailouts, let em fail. The American people are resiliant and intelligent, (well I thought so until this exchange) and will make it. Instead, the government gives them tax breaks and incentives which means they get a huge check at the end of the year. But according to you, that means they pay more in taxes. Did you fail math? |
