Wille Nelson, is that you?
Look, I have used the law and the facts to substantiate an arguement...but I am not going to get into a philosophical, esoteric, down with the MAN yelling match with you over who pays taxes. I have explained to you how the system “accurately” works, and either you dont understand or are “unwilling” to understand. But that’s okay, we’re on the same side, neither of us believes in high taxes for either corporations or individuals. Trust me...if I could only send a check to support the military instead of paying taxes...I would, but that wouldnt change the fact that corporations are US taxpayers...and yes.
The US Tax regime is not subtrafuge in actuality it’s probably the fairest system of taxation in the world...and, thank God, we dont have a VAT regime...now you may beleive that one mythically exists by twisting the facts, or making it convenient with unsubstantiated rhetoric, but knowing the Internal Revenue Code as I do...trust me..we dont have a VAT tax either explicitly or implicitly as you advocate.
FOR REAL VAT MISERY look at the UK’s Tax Regime.
But hey...you know...u r right...one way or another every individual pays taxes...whether those taxes are sales, property, state income, sin taxes, or federal income taxes but CORPORATIONS do too. To deny such is being intellectually dishonest.
Indeed we are and that is a GOOD thing! In fact, I think we are saying essentially the same thing in different ways.
I just happen to believe that the taxes people pay, ALL of them, ought to be transparent and EASY for them to discern.
