Woody is that profoundly ignorant you speak of. If the tax code is honestly followed and wisely followed taxes aren't a moral issue, they are a legal issue. Envy is the last refuge of the stupid, and other losers. Since when is right and wrong up to the most low level envious?

Tax pegw more. She's hiding a lot of money the Biden crime family wants. Envy should not be free.

Have you heard of return on investment? Companies make decisions based on ROI. They either increase prices or cut cost or both to achieve the desired ROI. Do you have money in the market? Are you looking for a certain return on your investment? What do you do if youโre losing money in the market? Do you keep it invested in the same companies that are losing your money? Should all companies be run based on a net zero profit basis?
Companies donโt pay taxes. Consumers pay taxes.

Letโs take your comment one step further. Do you have the same attitude toward universities and colleges?

Profoundly ignorant is correct. Lets ask someone who has owned several business, the last in Virginia. ME. I also have a degree in Business. Taxes have a great deal to do with operating expenses.
Leaving income taxes out the City gets a cut of the first penny that comes in, profit irrelevant- Gross Receipts Tax.
You also pay EVERY year on any equipment or tools you own- Tools and Machinery Tax. I was still paying an annual tax on a screwdriver purchased in 1944.
You pay every year on the service vehicle you already paid sales tax on- Excise Tax. Registration fees.
After all that and much, more you may or may not make a profit- Then get taxed on that.
You can tell easily who has owned and operated a business. You can tell who has been properly educated. You can tell who the fools are. ...From these pages
