  • Part of the problem is people think corps dont pay taxes they do

  • These are funny statistics.

    The top earners may pay the highest percentage of taxes, but WHO MAKES THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF INCOME?

    If the top 1% pays 80% of the taxes but make 95% of the income then they aren't getting taxed enough are they?

    This is how the propaganda machine lies to you - it leaves out the part of the picture that lets you make sense of the whole system.

  • it's now how much we are taxed or not taxed.. it's what the money is spent on or not spent on..put it in the right places..stop loopholes for the rich..and drug test and educated/train us poor people to get better jobs/careers..put our money in house and not overseas

  • They buy the assumptions of a tool for Koch billionaire funded think tank (TaxFoundat), have no comparative or historical data, and then proceed to accept his solution. Hmm. Media framed by the billionaire think tank, or already bough. Nice work CNBC. Look at historical data, corporate tax rates are down, tax revenue as % of GDP, lowest since 1949, and while I was a student, I paid no income taxes, like most, and my retired mother paid none, that is your 47%, sometimes. take off your bliinders!

  • this guy is full of shit. corporate investments alone are NOT TAXED. what a fucking faggot. corps use tax loopholes to pay virtually NOTHING in taxes. these guys are fucking whores. ugly fat American whores.

  • Flat Tax
