The corporate tax should be repealed because it is double taxation of profits — first, at the corporate level, and again when dividends or capital gains are distributed to shareholders. If the politicians would have a hard time explaining repeal, they should go for exemption of dividends from the income tax.

Huffington Post was sold for $315,000,000 to AOL...

And screwed its contributors in the process.

Huffington Post sounds to me like a place in the Middle-earth, some place the Hobbits would get their mail, or perhaps a pint, or a thingee where signs are posted.

This is really simple, and simple to explain to a liberal.

Profits = What is left over after ALL expenses, including taxes.

Your Personal Savings = What is left over after ALL expenses, including taxes.

Q. Should people/individuals/liberals etc, be ALLOWED to save their own money ?

Fundamentally, there is no difference.

It’s always heartwarming to see a cadre of rich jackholes pretend to condemn all the rich. Get the rope.

Thanks Kaslin.

It’s not just libs who feel this way . . . FR protectionists should take note.

I say let 'em move...And then refuse to allow them to do business in the U.S...Their product prices would not decrease if we allowed them to be sold here...

The lack of those products on the U.S. market would be taken over by other competitors or new start ups, hiring American workers...

Sure. Good to see someone arguing for fewer consumer choices.

The sole purpose of a business is to make profits for their investors.

Amazing how that concept is foreign to so many liberals...

Well, on the bright side, Obama is creating jobs... In Ireland that is.

Seriously, Celtic Tiger part 2. Instead of lowering Ireland’s corporate income tax further, and offering more incentives for corporations to do business there, the Emerald Isle can just sit back while the dunce in the white hut creates a hostile business environment in the U.S., same net effect.

Note to liberals - higher tax rates reduce tax revenue as a rule. Basic economics that. Better to have one of the world’s more favorable tax environments and attract the world’s leading businesses, as 20% or so of trillions is a lot better than 60% of $0.

I have lost track of how many times OZero has raised taxes to pay for his ever-growing deficits. You’d think that, with all the big tax increases, they’d eventually balance the budget. But they can spend it faster than we can send it in! My income taxes are at least double what they were in 2008!How much is enough?

"Unless I’m mistaken, (and I may be), every time Gov’t has lowered tax rates, it ends up taking in more in tax revenues."

See Laffer Curve.

I have $10 that says these loopholes were put in by a DEMONRAT for the specific purpose of helping one of their favorite marxist companies, like Apple, Google,Cisco, Facebook.
