I provided my retirement, not government or big business. I saved, I made investments. They skimmed from me. Government took a cut of my profits. Corporations put those tax laws in place through control of politicians and regulators. Do you think it's an accident that most major corporations pay very little tax? Yes, the customers ultimately pay ALL the taxes, but why charge them more when you don't have to?
Don't even get me started on banks. I'll bet you know NOTHING of fractional reserve banking, fiat currencies, the derivatives market, etc. They "create money" out of thin air and "lend it to people at interest". Quite the racket. And they're SO greedy, they make highly leveraged, irrational bets, to try to make even more. Banking is a Ponzi. Your retirement is based on a Ponzi system. I'm praying it lasts another 30 years. Negative interest rates sweeping the globe does not bode well.
The wealthy do whatever they can to avoid taxes. The middle class bears the tax burden, not in raw numbers but in their % of income lost. They ALREADY left and MOVED their businesses...to China and other 3rd world countries where there are not taxes or workers rights. Unions made American workers unprofitable.
I don't want the poor stealing from me via socialism. I don't want the rich stealing from me via government.
The corporations own the government, they make laws and regulations favorable to themselves. It's gone too far and they need to be reigned in.

You proved me right. You don't know what you are talking about in regards to your retirement. You invested and made money for retirement. What did you invest in? Big business or banks? They made money using your money and they gave it back out of their profit, with interest.
It is their right to pay as little taxes as possible. Where do you get off expecting someone else to pay more taxes than the law stipulates. Even the Supreme Court said that you should not pay more taxes than the law requires.
The rich does not "steal" from you. You are an idiot that listens to socialist propaganda.
Corporations pay very little taxes? You are kidding right? You do realize that lower oil prices are hitting tax revenues really bad right now, right? States are getting hard because of their lack of tax revenues from the oil industry. The oil industry pays billions of dollars in tax revenues.
The top 20% of earners pay almost 85% of income tax revenues.
About 30% of tax filers get money back that they never contributed, due to EITC.
So, over 50% do not pay income federal income taxes.
And I do not blame any particular party. Although, Bush is responsible for the Earned Income Credit and tax breaks, and has been the cause of more Obama voters.
