of course, if you pay nothing you will actually be asked to pay something for a change. You know Business like GE who paid no taxes will actually have to pay something now.

Odd how so many Conservative would rather keep giving the handouts then spread the tax burden.

GE doesn't, their stock holders do... they pay capital gains and dividends which are taxed iirc at 28%

I'll go Cain one better. I think taxpayers should seek reparations from all the freeloaders who haven't paid anything for years. (That's a joke, more or less)

The 40-some % who pay no income tax are the core constituency of the Leftist revolution.

If "taxes on corporations are passed onto consumers," and "property taxes are passed on to renters," then EVERYBODY pays taxes. The distinction is in who collects them.
