20 Reasons to Kill Corporate Taxes

Back to blog

Jimmy, wow.. you have a brain dont you??

Come on man, are you that dumb? Grandma's living on pensions depend on the divided as their income. Do you have a 401k or mutual fund? If so you should want the corporate tax gone because you would be able to save more for YOUR future. But obviously you want America to be a 3rd world country, shame on you for that.

See the bigger picture, corporations are NOT bad.. they employ MILLIONS of people.. you probably work for a corporation, dont you want them to pay you more?? Without this ILLEGAL tax they could. Or you can keep standing in your own way.. you choose.

P.s. I'm a kid, not even 21, that makes under $25k a year, and yes I would LOVE to see this tax abolished!

"If people have to pay taxes, then so should corporations. If they don't like it, then give up their person hood and then we can talk about no taxes."

Jimmy, you miss the point. Corporations are only given "person" status for the sake of paying taxes and protection from the government. However, corporations are not persons. You can't tax something that does not exist in the literal sense. There is no actual person named Coca-Cola, but there are several thousand people who do work for Coca-Cola and invest in Coca-Cola and buy Coca-Cola. Those are the people that bear the burden of the corporate tax.

Are not corporations considered people?

If people have to pay taxes, then so should corporations. If they don't like it, then give up their person hood and then we can talk about no taxes.
