In 2018 social security had a $3 billion dollar surplus, after expenses. That's total revenue from people paying in to social security ($1.003 trillion) and out go that year. So where does the true spending exist?

I wonder why? Interestingly, we have now spent MORE THAN DOUBLE on farmer bailouts, than on all of the loans made to automobile companies...during the Great Recession. I would link it, but the link might be too political...so y'all can easily research it yourself. The difference though? The loans were mostly paid back. And yet, I'll bet a high % who were adamantly against the auto loans and the hundreds of thousands of people it helped keep a job...have no problem with paying large corporate farms for self-inflicted wounds. |

There were several candidates that ran in the last presidential election whose platform was reducing the federal deficit. They all lost. Nobody cares. What people care about, are give aways.

We're talking about net taxes. According to CBS News, there are at least 60 large corporations that paid no income tax on $79 billion in profits in 2018. Amazon and Netflix should have paid $16 billion alone, but instead got tax REBATES. The new law cut the statutory tax rate to 21 percent, while leaving intact most of the tax breaks and loopholes, which allowed profitable companies to zero out their income taxes.

Losses from prior years, tax incentives to invest in the future & employees.................all legit. Corporate Taxes are just a pass-thru. I'm good with that.

Corporations don't pay taxes, their customers pay them. Taxes are a cost of business and they are passed on. Taxes are reduced by deductions for capital expenditures.... ie expansion!

The same principle applies to state and federal taxation. Corporations utilize all the same services as individuals.
