The facts of the matter is the great machine you might probably just hate called corporate america pays 90+ percent of all the taxes in this country. The real burden is upon them.

Facts are funny things bj.
You should get some before you post next time.
Fact is, corporations paid, in 2004, about 10% of tax revenues collected at the Federal level. If you add in the 50% they pay (all employers pay) of SS tax, the total would be approaching 27%, or there abouts.

If you add the SS tax all employees pay (same rate as employers pay I might add) , to the revenues generated by individual taxpayers is about 67% of federal tax revenues.
I'll caveat that number though, seeing as 'Social Insurance' taxes may include other taxes outside of SS, therfore reducing the proportionate share corporations paid.
I'd dig into it further, but I have to work.
See, I own a corporation........

The info is available all over the place. I just had this chart bookmarked for the time frame it covers.


90%.......... hardly...........not even close.

Next.

Wrong again KK, IF you've watched the latest news from the IRS you would know just to start out the top 1% pays atleast 39% of the taxes in this country. Those are the people running corporate America - you know private citizens own companys right??? You need to get the data and not bend it.

It's easy to see how the left likes to do that considering how white lies and bending the truth has worked recently. Exampe: Ask Hillary Clinton a question and get 3 different positions.

On another previously mentioned topic........
What WA Supreme court did when ruling on political ads, is follow the US Courts ruling after the Fox case, where Fox claimed they were not required to be truthful in their broadcasting.

It's a good thing they won, or they'd be out of business.......


I read the entire dissent and concurence on the WA Supreme Court decision and not one peep about FOX news, el-wrongo again. Another example of people trying to bend and push their own political interests. The idea there was a split decision 5-4. The states highest court didn't want to get involved in controlling political ads.


Getting back on track...

It's pretty sad these days when millions of people can vote and have a voice only to get the laws they voted to inact reveresed by YET another 5-4 decision...how funny. People are sick and tired of taxes, hearing about taxes. Everytime you turn around they want more money for special interests.
