How many, and which of their 'customers' send a check to the IRS for a corporation's tax liability?

Then why are corporations considered to have rights such as free speech? So obviously you corporate shills here think money is free speech? How can they claim 14th amendment protections if the amendment was meant for living persons to be treated equally under the law? Why can they lobby Congress for their benefit? How can they have influence over a raft of issues, such as health care that will affect their bottom lines?

Besides perpetual life, corporations enjoy limited liability to shield themselves against lawsuits for damages and wrong doing. They can also use voluntary bankruptcy and other disappearing acts to dodge financial obligations while remaining in business.

The politicians have been bought by large corporations and most legislation now favors corporations over individuals. The interests of corporations, as an artificial entity are vastly different from the interests of natural persons.

And legislators clearly lavish them with favored tax breaks, subsidies, and bailouts to the detriment of the average taxpayer. I guess you corporate shills agree with that transfer of wealth to the 1% that benefit from that favoritism.

What is being totally missed here is that our supposed "government" is in reality a MUNICIPAL CORPORATION masquerading as a government. The UNITED STATES INC is nothing more than Washington, District of Criminals - some territories and possessions - and operator of the military bases.

The 'criminals' in Washington, District of Criminals hope you never realize that they have NO AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER outside the ten square mile area - by its own charter and articles of incorporation.

This fact is available for review by any / all interested parties at www.CAFR1.com. As an example, the city of Chicago (which is a corporation) where Barry O. got his start, actually has a surplus of funds. Its just that the city managers - who are themselves criminals - don't want the public to know there is plenty of money to go around and could PUT AN END TO TAXATION.

The same is true with the UNITED STATES, INC. There is plenty of money to go around, the criminals who set in charge of it all see the MASSIVE wealth, and don't want to let the people know about the fact our "Government" (read: CORPORATION) can survive just fine without taxing everybodys everything.

A financial analyst - before his untimely death - wrote how that there was about $1.3 TRILLION a day being raked in by the "Federal Government" and as such, said "Federal Government" (read: CORPORATION) could survive just fine WITHOUT PERSONAL INCOME TAXATION.

And of course, there is the plagerism of GIVING away our money to the foreign countries that hate us. Put a stop to it all.

End the UNITED STATES INC.
End the Federal Reserve Bank.
End George Soros rule of our country, if he doesn't like it, he can move back to Hungary.
End the International Monetary Fund (and confiscate the fortunes of the owners).

If the truth be known, there is enough money stashed and in circulation to take care of every problem and every person on this planet.

Good post!! A wealth of information! Thanks!

Oh Please! NO ONE can be that stupid! Or, I didn't think so until you came along. If you are unable to read what I wrote with understanding, please find someone who is literate and have them read it TO YOU.

What part of "The only place corporations have to get money to pay taxes, or any other expense that the corporation has, is from the proceeds from sale of its products or services." don't you understand?

What part of "A corporation, or any other business, if it is to survive, must take in enough income from sales to cover all of the expenses, including taxes, wages of employees, raw materials, heat light and power, etc., and have some left after all expense is paid. That which is left is called profit, and the hope of realizing a profit is the only reason for the business to exist, don't you understand?

The customers of the business, a corporation or otherwise, PAY for the product or service. The AMOUNT that they pay when the sale is made, in the simplest terms, HAS TO BE ENOUGH to cover the cost of making the item or service available, PLUS a profit. To a business, a TAX is an EXPENSE that must be covered by the price the product is sold for.

Now do you get it?

If one doesn't think corporations get special treatment from politicians then check out what tweedle dum, with tweedle dees' blessing and help are doing for corporations that are going to hurt the working poor and middle classes... Screw the little people and favor your BIG campaign donor corporations. God you people are brainwashed that corporations have not captured government.

In coming weeks, we can expect the Republican-controlled Congress to push two Obamacare bills that would hike profits for some businesses. What we can’t expect, from either Republicans or Democrats, unfortunately, is any effort to help families, even those with insurance, to stay out of bankruptcy court because of mounting medical bills.

Another inevitable attempt to repeal the whole law won’t go anywhere because there are still enough Democrats in the Senate to block it. But the bills to assist businesses—especially those that make generous campaign contributions—just might reach the President’s desk.

One of those measures would redefine a full-time worker under Obamacare’s employer mandate provision from someone who works 30 hours a week to one who works 40 hours weekly. The other piece of legislation would repeal the 2.3 percent tax on medical devices that helps pay for expanding coverage to the previously uninsured.

Republicans and some Democrats contend that both bills are intended to restore jobs they claim have been lost or will be lost as a result of those Obamacare provisions.

The law currently requires employers with 50 or more workers to provide health insurance to most of their full-time employees. The mandate will go into effect this year for employers with 100 or more workers and next year for employers with 50 or more. It does not apply to small businesses with fewer than 50 employees.

The reason drafters of the reform law set the threshold at 30 hours a week was to bring more people into coverage. Changing it to 40 hours would mean that many folks would likely lose their health insurance.

The tradeoffs are complicated, but ultimately, people needing insurance are a loser. The Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation estimate that changing the definition to 40 hours a week would reduce the number of people receiving employment-based coverage by about a million. But it would increase the number of people getting coverage through Medicaid or the health insurance exchanges by between 500,000 to 1 million. And about half a million would likely return to being uninsured.

Shifting that many people to the taxpayer-financed Medicaid program or to the exchanges, where most would be eligible for federal subsidies, would increase the budget deficit by nearly $74 billion between now and 2024, both the CBO and JCT say.

Repealing the tax on medical devices would also be a bad deal for just about everybody—except, of course the companies that make the devices. Big companies like Johnson & Johnson and GE would benefit, as would some smaller companies. And now that millions more of us have health insurance because of Obamacare, more of us can now afford the equipment these firms make. They are big Obamacare winners. But the medical device companies want to keep all that new revenue they’re getting.

The industry and its friends in Congress—which even includes liberals like Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts (there are a lot of medical device makers in both of their states)—want us to believe that the tax will cost as many as 43,000 jobs.

The Congressional Research Service says that’s bogus, that the tax will result in few if any job losses. But if the tax is repealed, the government will have to find $30 billion somewhere else or scale back coverage, which would put many of us back into the ranks of the uninsured.

I can understand why Republicans want to help those businesses avoid an Obamacare tax. But you’d think that Franken and Warren and their fellow Democrats would consider introducing legislation to help their constituents avoid financial ruin if they get sick.

Obamacare appears to be helping—the Commonwealth Fund reported last week that the number of Americans who went without the care they needed because of cost declined last year for the first time since 2003. But millions of Americans are still struggling to make ends meet because of medical bills.

The Commonwealth Fund also recently reported that the cost of health insurance is still increasing at a faster clip than wages. That means people are still having to devote an increasingly larger share of their paychecks to health insurance, despite Obamacare.

One area that’s taking a hit is savings. Family budgets for most folks are so tight they can’t sock much money away in a savings account. As Bankrate.com reported earlier this month, “If someone encounters a significant, unexpected expense outside his or her budget, such as an emergency room visit or a car repair, only 38 percent of respondents say they could cover it with cash they have on hand in a savings account or checking account.”

Older Americans are especially vulnerable. Bankrate.com’s survey found that 1 in 5 Americans 50 and older listed medical expenses as their largest expense outside of food and shelter.

The problem is that most of those folks don’t—can’t—contribute much, if anything to political campaigns. Certainly not like Johnson & Johnson and GE. So don’t hold your breath waiting for Congress to do anything to give families some relief when businesses are demanding special consideration.

NO, rolse, YOU DON'T GET IT!

It's now crystal clear! Ron White is right. You CAN'T FIX STUPID!

rolse

Yes, I do. Stupidity is not curable.

I was beginning to think that there were no more sane, and informed, people that read the posts here. I'm glad to hear from you, and welcome to the world of lost causes. (truth)

What you don't seem to understand is that 100% of all corporations pay no taxes, because 100% of all taxes charged to corporations are passed on to their consumers in the price of their products. Tax breaks to corporations are expenses which then do not have to be passed to consumers. Its a shell game with them claiming there are corporate taxes, when all business taxes are consumer taxes, and by doing it this way they are able to hide your real tax rate by breaking up the point of collection and by calling it something it can never be.

What would you call the money corporations send to the IRS if not taxes? Are they fines for not charging their consumers enough?
