Obama isn't that powerful
you can't destroy an economy in 2 years. or fix it.

they're all full of shit. everyone one of them. Republican, Democrat, Obama, Boehner, all of them don't do anything.

14 trillion and clirabing + interest.

Like it or not reducing government spending will mean massive job losses which will just make the situation far worse hence you need a corabination...

This.

And any Obama supporter thinking GE, Google and other party supporting corporations don't get and buy favors from their reps in Washington aren't living in reality.

Even if corporate taxes were raised loopholes favoring supporters would be weasled in.

The biggest problem is that it's a tragedy of the commons...everyone feels entitled to it whether they paid into it or not, and the government pays for it with borrowing. The rich and poor take as much as they need because they don't want anyone else getting it, whether they need it or not, just because they don't want someone else to get something they don't.

The prudent thing would be raising taxes or reducing services to limit borrowing to help users of those services properly internalize the cost of those services.

Regardless of the details, ANY taxation on the business means higher prices for consumers. The company will still get its profit, regardless. Taxing it only means it will collect those taxes from its customers.

Why is this so difficult for you to understand? Or DO you understand it, and you're just trying to cloud the issue by harping on details?

The "carried interest" issue is one that neeRAB to be addressed. While we've watched the passive vs. active investment treatment crurable in the face of the IRC and tax courts since 1986, it's somewhat confusing as to why hedge fund managers have managed to circumvent it for so long.

So, you're actually asking this question...

"why can't we just stop paying for social security?"
 
Where are these "American People" that WANT corporations to not pay taxes?!?

I'm all for our corporations paying a 'more fair' share of taxes.

However, our fearless leaders can't seem to separate that issue from taxing the millionaires/billionaires, and magically include any family that makes $250k a year or more in that list.

Morons.

Whatever they charge now, it's less than what they'll charge if you increase their taxes.

OT, where the perpetually uneducated argue broad _____ theory.
 
Where are these "American People" that WANT corporations to not pay taxes?!?

It's an argument very few can make and it's a large reason why American CEOs make exponentially more than their foreign counterparts. Ultimately, the loser is the common shareholder whose earnings and dividenRAB are diluted by cheap capital that isn't properly reflected as a cost to a business.

It sucks. It's also why I'm a huge proponent of IFRS.

well, no fucking shit. not every investment is meant to grab a seat on the board of directors.

You are simplifying everything. If GE has a stellar year, who is going to "copy" them? They own entire industries. If any company did undercut them they could just buy the company.
