This is hilarious. The Democrats are just as guilty as Republicans in setting a tax system that keeps them in power and the wealthiest among us increase that wealth. "Corporate" taxes are foolish. The corporations figure the tax into the cost of production which includes blue collar wages. I believe our tax code should be a consumption tax, but that would take the power out of the politicians' hands to pick winners and losers and inhibit their ability to get re-election contributions.
VINNYMOR Says:
Rather than get upset that some other entity is not paying more taxes, why not revolt because you still are?
PaleBunnyInfidel Says:
you know what BIG fucking surprise - is there something new about this? I don't give a fuck. What I care about is the devaluation of the american dollar, job loss, current unemployment rate, gas prices and the fact that food prices have increased by 400%. At the store yesterday a pack of 3 bell peppers cost 5 FUCKING DOLLARS. Are you kidding me? I can't even afford a fucking bell pepper, I can't afford meat, Obama is destroying our present AND our future. Fucking war mongering piece of SHIT
PaleBunnyInfidel Says:
That's funny, because from where I stand Obama sucks corporate dick harder than any republican I ever saw. WHO funded more bailout for GM? WHOSE healthcare plan includes FORCING all americans to PAY for insurance or be fined $1,500 a year. His cronies said that a family of four living on $27K a year should EASILY be able to afford $250 a month for health insurance. What planet is he living on? I went to the store yesterday & 3 bell peppers cost 5 FUCKING dollars.

Stick to your talking points much? Paid actors.
theworm1244 Says:
the way these congressmen just completely avoid the topic of corporations not paying anything makes me fucking sick... this country is no longer a democracy.
regtracker Says:
let me see....... corporations who don't have to pay taxes( and outsource cheap labour to other countries) will create jobs in the US. where's the incentive for them to support their own "home" country's economy?????
timh1982 Says:
I find it ridiculous that Republicans and the corporate dipshits want us to believe corporations are actual people now and are entitled to unlimited campaign donations. Ok fine those are the rules (although your wrote them). But if Corporations are now people THEY HAVE TO PAY THEIR TAXES LIKE THE PEOPLE DO! Im starting the see a double standard here.
DrQuijano Says:
Is it just me or does that first senator being interviewed looked like some corporate thugs beat the crap out of him and reconfigured his face so that he would be pro corporation? Oh, hey, how about putting this up on MSNBC?
nightpotato Says:
That isn't a definition of theft (or if it is one, its an extremely poor one which excludes mugging for example). And in case you missed it... I pay for "our" roads. Because if I dont men with guns will come to my house and force me to. If (without your asking) I paved your driveway and then demanded that you pay me a fee which I determined, would it be stealing from me for you to use the driveway without paying my fee? According to your last comment- yes.
VirtualBilly Says:
i'm done explaining to you that being wrong doesn't count as being right. haha, lol...
dangerouslytalented Says:
You know, George Soros is not the be all and end all of the progressive movement...
dangerouslytalented Says:
Using any government service without paying taxes is theft. Get the Fuck off our roads.

"As a Senator I would reform taxes so the largest corporations return more than 0% in actual taxed income." and as a CEO of such a corporation, I would give you the finger, tell you to fuck the hell off and I would move the company to a Country that didn't have ignorant American commies

i'm done explaining to you that being a pompous ass doesn't count as explaining a god damn thing. dick sauce.

nightpotato Says:
Cool non sequitur+personal attack bro. Provide a definition of theft which does not include taxation. If I robbed you at gunpoint and then used some of the money to pave your driveway would that justify the theft? You must be a "retard" if you think this is theft. Roads can and have been provided by voluntary means plenty of times throughout economic history. Some private roads exist today even despite crowding out effects, which is a term you might want to google.
avatarmn Says:
What a retard. Who do you think lays the roads. The asphalt fairy?
genie0390 Says:
I take it then that if you were the CEO of a large corporation and the CFO presented you with a tax return, properly prepared according to the Tax Code, showing a tax due of $10 million, you would ignore that return and send in much more to the IRS? do you realize how goofy you come across?
genie0390 Says:
So, are you aware that Geo Soros, the money behind many progressive smear organizations, is a convicted felon in Europe for his ruthless, unethical, illegal dealings there? are you aware that a number of yrs ago he very nearly collapsed the British economy and currency with his ruthless speculations and manipulations??
nightpotato Says:
Tax is theft
VirtualBilly Says:
"so the problem is that the rich people and corporations simply dont pay taxes." ...and you're back to not knowing what you're talking about. look, i get that cenk made that vague statement first, and that he's the reason you think something so stupid, but seriously, you REALLY NEED TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. until you can understand that plain-english statement and start opening your mind, i'm done explaining things FOR you. you're a big girl; look it up for yourself. flat tax.
largegrainsofsalt Says:
finally, a fucking point. so the problem is that the rich people and corporations simply dont pay taxes. this shifts the burden onto the lower and middle class. LITERALLY ANY tax code would be an improvement as long as the rich and corporations have to start paying their taxes. getting the high end to pay taxes is the problem, NOT finding some magical flat rate that fixes everything. theres a difference between correlation and causation, look it up.
