So if the corporations pay zero taxes and get government subsidies also, isn’t that negative taxes?

Sure. Got a problem with that? What are you, some kinda commie or something?

Hmmm, how about Methuselah/Droopy Dawg 1908
or maybe The Crypt Keeper/Max Wright 1908

For those who do not remember Max Wright:

Good Morning Katy :) Good to see you.

Weird, it was more like a big mistake because, (CNN use footage of Tskhinvali ruins to cover Georgian report)

In one of its news bulletins CNN has shown Russian tanks and ruined buildings which they claimed are in the Georgian town of Gori. Russian cameraman of the Russian TV channel, who did the footage in reality in South Ossetian city of Tskhinvali says CNN aired footage of Tskhinvali district close to former Russian peacekeepers headquarters, nearly all of them were killed by Georgians after the footage was made.

More of that unbiased reporting we have come expect from the MSM. CNN got caught using the wrong footage…. they did however show the devastation of what the Georgian Army had done.

The GAO report reveals that corporations evade paying taxes by declaring themselves an “S-Corp” and file their profits under “personal income taxes”.

McCain’s surrogate on C-Span likewise attacked Obama’s call to tax “small businesses that filed on their personal income taxes”, once again implying Obama would tax EVERY small business this way instead of those making over a quarter million a year.

The fact Obama already recognized this loophole BEFORE the GAO report speaks volumes about his qualification to be President.

Our infrastructure is crumbling, our schools are in the toilet and the deficit is at a record high. So what is the Republicans’ answer to our problems? Cut taxes. You can’t make this s**t up.

EXXON/ISRAEL 08!!

Monday morning on C-Span, one of McCain’s chief economic advisers argued that “the corporate tax rate is too high”, and THAT is the reason U.S. companies are moving overseas. She says we “need to lower the corporate tax rate from 28% to 24%” to attract business back to the United States.

Well, if they are already paying ZERO in taxes, lowing the tax rate to 24% isn’t going to do anything except reduce tax income for those few companies that ARE paying taxes while doing NOTHING to attract jobs and tax revenue to the United States.

So if the corporations pay zero taxes and get government subsidies also, isn’t that negative taxes? Like the cons claim the low income people get with Earned Income Credit?

no surprise… but ON LARRY KING!?!?!?!!!!

Tweedster,
Like everyone here, I support Russia. They kicked neocon ass!
I wish Putin would be our president. He’s the man!

Don’t speak for everyone here. It was W that gazed into his soul and believed him to be a good man. Nice try. What was your handle on here yesterday? OP1?

Boo.

Summer schooling done for the year?

Congrats! I did the same a year ago, and have been living by the same principal. It’s nice not to have that burden, but as prices go up while salaries go down, there always seem to be new burdens to replace the old ones.

If things don’t change soon, I really will consider moving to a real Democracy… What’s the point in living like this – a slave to greedy, bully corportions?

Let me try a few words out on you: “Charge It,” “Swipe It” and “Priceless.”

You know exactly what I am talking about. We all have credit and debit cards. We all use them, and many of us keep our lives going because of them.

That is, until the bill becomes due.

The sad truth is that we are all complicit in our own economic servitude even if, at bottom, it’s not our fault because we live in a consumption society, and don’t feel we could live without them.

While many eyes are focusing on the housing meltdown and its hugely negative effect on an economy clearly moving into recession, few are paying attention to the next bubble expected to burst: credit cards. You would never know it by watching those slick VISA card ads on the Olympic TV broadcasts.

Combined with the subprime losses, such a credit card nightmare has the potential, experts say, of bringing down the entire financial system and global economy.

**I was able to pay off credit cards last month. Got a loan with a fixed rate and a specific term to do it, but at least there is an end in sight with it. We put the cards away and sure hope they stay there! I was able to drop my monthly payments quite a bit as well, which sure helps the budget. I know it takes a lot of discipline but we are trying to go cash only — if we don’t have the cash we don’t do it.
