[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5046287, member: 24302"] They pay taxes on their profits. But they also have deductions that reduce taxes SO THAT THEY CAN HIRE PEOPLE AND PAY SALARIES AND GENERALLY PROVIDE EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED. Jackasses see people getting wealthy doing that and think, gee, let's force them to pay more so that we can spend it, i.e. throw it down a hole, so that we can look great to our constituents and they'll become dependent on us and keep us in power. We can then use that power to make little side deals with these corporations who are desperate to keep us off their backs. We get rich, they get rich, and the poor are totally dependent and keep us in power. What could possibly be better? Oh, right, our fanatics think we can squeeze these corporations even more and create utopia. And no one will really have to work because Uncle Sugar will give them everything. Wow, why didn't we do this sooner? [/QUOTE]
