Boooooo! Too much tax refunds, but I think they paid lot of taxes and they fet a refund? I dont know for sure. Something to investigate.
yes they paid billions in taxes 2 years ago. Trust me - there's nothing to investigate.
Not that I support any of these companies or think they are paying their fair share, because I absolutely don't, but this list is such a misleading crock of shit.
Those banks did not receive trillion dollar bailouts. That is absolutely absurd. The entire TARP program was less than 300 billion. Where in the world did Moveon pull those numbers???? Furthermore, almost ALL of the TARP money has been repaid, much of it with interest...
What pisses me off is that these clowns over at Moveon are hurting the credibility of a legitimate argument: that businesses like GE and BoA are not paying their fair share. Yet when Moveon throws about faulty information like this, it makes me really want to buy an SUV, vote republican, and join the Tea Party, just to spite their dumbasses.
Got a link showing they did?
I cannot find one.
Got proof they paid "tens of billions of dollars in taxes two years ago?"
example - income taxes.
I agree.
I have a problem with people demanding that these companies should pay tax. They've already poured in billions of dollars for investment, jobs, and public service that led to steep tax write-off. They've made a progress.
Since these companies have already paid tens of billions dollars in tax couple years ago... where did that get us? a continuing federal budget deficit.
At this point right now - I no longer support government's, politicians', citizens' demands for companies and rich people to pay up. I support tax cut for the riches because it goes back to us.
The government is misusing our tax money. Barry Bonds investigation? good gracious....
You mean by their workers? Pshaw, it's not the same thing.
Sounds like you want the tax code for corporations to be re-written.
But that will be tough because they can afford to hire high-powered lobbyists to block any proposals that would increase their tax liability.
Yep. No more tobacco subsidies.
Go FairTax.
