Having both agreed to this, we have to also agree that your belief that this piece of paper cannot pay taxes should also work in the reverse. Corporations are not a piece of paper. The paper is simply the medium on which the rules of incorporation are written. It's this line of thinking that allows the corporate pigs to escape responsibility for their acts of aggression toward the environment, government and the people. This line of escaping responsibility is the result of selfish and greedy humans writing into law the ability to protect themselves from being held accountable for their own actions. As you've stated here, humans do indeed control what happens as a corporation. The corporation is a human invention. The corporation is a business model and subject to human rules. If those human rules dictate that corporations will pay high taxes, then damn it, corporations will pay high taxes. Just as they did before Reagan. Just as the wealthy pampered elites did before Reagan. |

LOL B&ENB http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_United_States It seems that the US has had "issues" with every country on Earth at some point. I don't recall seeing Iceland on the list but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. So, the rest of the world owes you something for spending more on weapons of destruction and death than you do on everything thing else in your federal budget? No one loves your weapons and those who've become ensnared inside the trap of your "tax dollars" will never get out of debt due to the terms of borrowing. The world owes you nothing. Get real. |

The problem one encounters when trying to discuss issues like this with people like you Gary, is everything you say is twisted around itself so tightly that it becomes too much a bother to even try to understand. I'll try just a little with this one comment of yours. The piece of paper you refer to is in fact a multi billion dollar self contained organization, with no public accountability for what goes on inside it's boardroom. Having both agreed to this, we have to also agree that your belief that this piece of paper cannot pay taxes should also work in the reverse. The piece of paper should also be unable to pay shareholders, CEO's, board members, employees and various suppliers, contractors, etc... But somehow, it does. The piece of paper performs the very act you say is impossible. Oh, and how does this piece of paper make most of these payments you ask? Good question. It sends a cheque. Yes. Another impossibility happening right before your eyes. While it seems you are very wrong about the ability of the piece of paper to cut cheques or pay taxes. I encourage you to keep working on your argument until it holds water. Good luck with that. |

LOL I don't know about the parliamentary system being the best Glenn. We have a very right wing conservative government presently in power here in Canada. They support Big Oil and deny global warming while making plans for arctic shipping lanes which will be open due to the loss of ice. They pulled out of the Kyoto Accord, which was signed by the previous governing Liberal Party. They've just pulled out of the UN desertification talks which is another way of denying global warming. Many members of the federal cabinet are known to be religious, speaking in tongues fanatics and certain religious groups have direct access clearance to the office of the Prime Minister, which is astounding. That level of access is usually reserved for CEO's and other big shots with pockets full of money. They are buying weapons like crazed warlords. All this, in a parliamentary system where they received 38% of the vote in the last federal election which gave them a majority of seats. |

So you got laid by JJ? A real gentleman would keep that locked in the vault as a prized and pleasant memory. Why do you have to spout it to the world to such a degree that you are tossed out of so many sites? Is there nothing you can be trusted to keep between two people? |

Stop groaning about your tax burden while supporting tax cuts to the corporate pigs and the pampered wealthy elites. The Takers are Big Oil, General Electric and every other corporate entity that actually receives tax subsidies from the public teet. Entitlement Vacuumers are the same group. Grants are such a small portion that you are stretching the limits to try and make a case. Aid addicts are your corporate farms and equipment makers who actually receive the "so called" foriegn aid. The rest of this post is nonsense. |

I am tired of hearing that line Gary. That's like saying citizens don't pay taxes because they receive their income from an employer who must pay them enough to allow them to afford taxes. If corporations don't pay taxes, why do the selfish bastards keep lobbying to drive their tax contributions down? Why do they move to tax havens? Why do they move their head office to Dubai? Mark is making squeaking noises about his tax burden, which, before Reagan started his war on working people, was a much smaller percentage of total government revenue. He, and everyone else who isn't in the high income bracket, pays more because the corporate pigs and the pampered wealthy elites pay less. |

Mark, you know that isn't true by any stretch of the imagination, so why do you cling to it? The polling stations aren't just wide open to whomever wants to walk in and cast a ballot. Rightists have been blathering about voter fraud for years, yet there are never more than a couple of instances every election. It's not a factor in any outcomes. Hell, most of the voter fraud I've heard of is attributed to republican voters like that horrible woman Ann Coulter. |

If I can survive our Canadian Prime Minister with his version of Christiofascist militaristic corporate rule, I'm pretty sure that getting through Obama will be a piece of cake for those of you dreaming of a rightist insurrection down south. |

Corporations Do Indeed Suck. How much does the average Joe have available to risk in the casino known as the stock market? That's right, bugger all. Even if someone has $10,000 to play with and they actually win the crap shoot and double their money. What are they going to do with $20,000? Retire? LOL So, they risk it all again and somehow come up with the same good luck to double their money once more. Are they set for life with $40,000. Of course not. Joe Blow's luck then runs out and he's lost it all... of course his friggin' broker has pocketed a share of Joe's money with every transaction, so at least he's happy as he plays with other people's money. The stock market is the biggest suckers game since three card monte. |

"Government is the shadow cast by business over society" - John Dewey The corporatists have spent billions of dollars toward propaganda trying to focus the blame onto governments. It seems to have worked on many of you. Yes, governments set regulations. But. we've allowed the pampered greedy wealthy elites and the corporate sector the chance to control individual members of government with massive campaign contributions. The US is a business controlled society. Be angry with the corporations and get even by supporting the move to finance political campaigns with public money. Take away the opportunity to corrupt government by use of massive contributions from private sources. |

I always laugh out loud when extreme right government haters claim they have the inside story because they spent their lives in the public service. If that's true, they are now sucking at the public service pension teet while talking shite about the structure that allowed them to make a living. Teabaggers need to be dipped in boiling water. |
