"corporations" are such an easy scapegoat because they aren't people and most people don't understand how they work

People basically enjoy all of the benefits that corporate structure provides but only bring corporations up when they are looking for someone to blame

It's especially funny in Hollywood, where the bad guy in every movie is a nefarious business executive. People for some reason love actors worth $100 million for pretending to be important while they hate senior VPs worth $10 million for STEALING THE MONEY FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS

i'm not wanting to "punish" corporations. But if they're based, built, operating here and using loopholes to get around paying taxes just seems pretty god damned unfair.

I'm not an economist, so yeah, I don't know how it works inside out but when an average consumer see's places like GE, Exxon, etc.. going on billion dollar profits and not paying any taxes on them, and even getting refunRAB, you don't think that's a bit unjust?

Income = money that came in to your possession

It's not a complicated concept

Are you fucking retarded? I'm proposing a new tax code. I don't need to know what sorts of minutae and exceptions are present in the existing one

Are you retarded? What do you think capitalism is?

Seriously, I think you would be better served by assessing your role in this debate and figuring out how to best position yourself for the future in light of it. You are the worst kind of person in this world, the entitled idiot. You will probably flame back on how I am evil and ignorant etc; however that is kind of the point. I take care of myself so the government doesnt have to. In turn they both receive more revenue in the form of my income taxes and, independently, don't need to tax corporations as heavily since I am not collecting from any bullshit entitlement programs. It is you, the moron, which is the problem. Your argument rests on the premise that the government should take care of you, that however, is counter-intuitive in a capitalist society. Take care of yourself.

Wait, you mean certain taxed gooRAB/services comprise a larger percentage of the available net earnings of middle and lower earners?

What new information? These threaRAB are usually the same people parroting the same tired argument.

Not reading 19 pages of this shit, but any taxes levied on a business are passed on to the consumer.

Also, there are two primary reasons we need some form of corporate taxation and it has very little to do with tax revenue generation from large, publicly traded companies.

Does anyone want to guess why?

I'm not trying to be a dick; I just want to see if OT can figure it out or knows.

What % of your income did you give to charity last year?

And I mean real charities that help people, like homeless shelters or the salvation army, not PETA. How much did you contribute to your fellow man?

You're right. Everybody should pay THE SAME percentage.

In business school they don't make it seem that simple. They must not know what they are talking about.

You realize economics is theory right?

The United States of America has the highest corporate tax rates of any 1st world country.

Your tax code sucks. It fails to account for a myriad of investments and business-related interests and will be eaten alive by people far smarter than you.

It's complicated because it was a flawed system and people took advantages of the flaws. Then they tried to patch it instead of revamping it, and created new flaws.

It's much more difficult to have flaws if the code is exceedingly simple.

Since in my system, businesses aren't taxed, it's irrelevant how they shift assets around. The only tax which would be paid would be on assets leaving the country.

Assets which go to individuals count as income, which is taxed at a flat rate

The worst part is people will just stop at his logic and say "wow it really is that simple" and just not think about any other possible options. Thank you for bringing real-world business pragmatism into this discussion.
