People can attempt to "pass along" costs by demanding wage hikes, but will usually fail, or simply be laid off. Corporations ALWAYS succeed in passing along costs to consumers. Consumers ALWAYS pay corporate taxes. If you insist that corporations pay more taxes, you are merely insisting that consumers pay more for goods and services. It is simple market economics (which you probably don't believe in).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-19082469517964786282013-03-31T20:46:26.884-07:002013-03-31T20:46:26.884-07:00Anyone who thinks about it a little bit will reali...<i>Anyone who thinks about it a little bit will realize that corporations do not pay taxes.</i><br /><br />Maybe.

Economics 101: Corporations have only one source of money with which to "pay" taxes: their revenue stream. So, given fixed (non-labor) costs, their choices are three: 1) reduce their profits and shareholder returns, 2) lay off workers to reduce labor expenses, thus losing productivity and market share, or 3) increase costs to customers for goods and services. What do you think is going to happen? Right, YOU wind up paying any taxes levied on corporations through increased costs. Happy now? For multinational corporations their choices are more varied and complex, but the result is the same. Corporations will go where the costs of doing business are the lowest, and the profits are the highest. If you are an investor, that's what you want them to do. PS, if you have a pension or a 401k/403b, you ARE an investor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-10912701676448023162013-03-29T21:45:31.163-07:002013-03-29T21:45:31.163-07:00The yahoo article is a TOTAL waste of bandwidth - ...The yahoo article is a TOTAL waste of bandwidth - BS has reached a new level...sheeeeesh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-52561051263055277882013-03-29T21:19:43.718-07:002013-03-29T21:19:43.718-07:00WIth all due respect I think with the present lust...WIth all due respect I think with the present lust for taxing corporations, that the money they have overseas (trillions) will not be coming into our country and therefor no growth.<br /><br />Under President Clinton he balanced the budget and at times we had true economic growth but President Obama does not balance the budget and seems to take pleasure (sorry) in running up the debt.<br /><br />I word of advice. <br />Just put on the blinders and smile and pretend that the present administration is as smart as you think and as nice as you think.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-11517928474792228472013-03-29T21:16:03.332-07:002013-03-29T21:16:03.332-07:00Seriously?
