RE: Death and Taxes - Pigs at the Trough...
Dave I totally get it but still what is to be said about those who got corporate taxes to over 40% in the first place. Average first world corporate rate is 21%. This makes us competitive.
As far as taxes in general go, I probably believe they may be unconstitutional unless someone gives me a valid argument.
Edit: Somehow this part of the comment got cut off... Oops...
After itemization, shelters, and literally hundreds of loopholes, the 40% corporate tax rate is nothing more than a talking point. The actual rate is closer to 18%...
How would I know - you might ask? :)
I have been self employed going on 30 years (ugh - dam i'm gettin old), and have owned many different businesses through my life - everything from a video rental store, to a pizza restaurant, to the real estate development and construction company that presently owns me.
One thing I can say with absolute certainty, regardless if I make 100K or 500K Net, I will pay less in taxes (percentage) than one of my employees...
To once again quote the orange buffoon...
"Believe Me"...
Okay nice, so now we will pay just 9%. Just kidding Dave. Your argument is strong.
