If they hwve employees they pay taxes they pay unemployment state and federal,fica tax. And the employees pay taxes. the corp payes taxes and then what left over they pay in dividend and the people pay taxes on them And you are right they just pass the tax on and like in france when they taxed the rich most of them moved to denmark where the taxes were cheaper
Okay, so let me get this straight… Higher taxes cause prices to go up. So people will have less money to buy higher priced stuff. Great “stimulus” idea there, Barry-O!
You tell them John and I’m sorry about your loss. But what I find strange in today’s litany of responses, is that no one commented on the corporations as people zinger at the end. I guess that’s because both you and your corrupt parties, want to forget all about that corrupt legislation.
John, I’m sorry for your situation, but American Free Market economics is far different than Swedish Neo-Nazism. Here, it works and would work better if our delightful governmet would stop spending beyond its means.
Oh, B.S. Products cost as much as the market will pay, not a nickel more. Taxes are a part of production cost, but if you think production cost has anything but a tiny relationship to price, you don’t understand basic economics. Taxes come out of profits, and only if the market will bear it can they be passed on to consumers. Corporate profits are the cause of the stagnation of the economy – we have a lack of circulation due to clotting in the fatty tissues.
I think the corporations as people idea came out of a SCOTUS decision to allow a corporation to be sued; only people can be sued, ergo corporations must be considered people. I am relying on my faulty memory here so, corrections are appreciated.

I find it funny that libs are always whining about “corporate greed” until their own 401k loses value or they lose their job.

They not only “not pay taxes” but some get billions from us to drill for oil. I won’t say which ones.
