Quote:That's odd, when I get those type of services I have a Service Fee line on the invoice that shows that I've paid that tax for the company, be shop fee, misc supplies, or Environmental Disposal Fee or any other name for "the government gets this share.". That's for product purchase and for contracted services like cable and cell phones, etc. No company pays anything in taxes that wasn't extracted from the customer in some form, they are a simple pass through collection agency for government funds.

 

You're arguing semantics, all income is customer based for a business there's no arguing that. However that income is then taxed at the local, state and federal level numerous times. It's taxed when the business collects the funds (sales tax) it's taxed when the business pays it's employee's (federal income tax, medicaid, and social security taxes) it's taxed when the business spends the money, it's taxed when the business retains the money.

 

Saying corporations don't pay taxes is lazy and simply not true. I know everyone loves to beat up in big evil corporations, but a simple LLC and you're a corporation and guess what your tax bill just doubled. It's just as false as when you hear people say the poor don't pay taxes, you bet they pay taxes!

 

EVERYONE is paying to much in taxes. It's really simple, we just need to make government smaller.
