[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1800907, member: 2189"] Adding to the point. Corporations really don't pay those taxes either as that cost is built right into the cost of the goods and services which they sell to the public. In many respects it is the working and consuming public who pay the load and carry the burden. State Capitalism, Crony (phony) Capitalism, Finance Capitalism, Corp. Capitalism all use various forms and means of gov't privilege in order to exist and worst, externalize much of their costs onto the backs of taxpayers to boot. One of the reasons that Mom and Pop stores can't compete with the Walmarts of the world is because they aren't politically linked to power and thus can't milk the treasury so they too can offer those low prices. Yes we should point it out and yes it is also a form of welfare. If the business model can't exist without the state intervention, why is it not the same form of welfare that a worthless bum can't live the easy life without state intervention? Granted the Corp. form creates jobs and creates tax revenue but this raises the question is the jobs for the betterment of people and community or about revenue in order to drive more power and enable the cash nexus?
