Is that the best I can di? Not by a long shot.Study says most corporations pay no U.S. income taxes | Reuters

You are falling right in line with your party. They take statements out of context, and apply them to everything.

I don't remember the person that I voted for, John Kasich, in the primary making that statement. Can you please provide the link, so I can read his entire statement?

I must be some kind of funny liberal, since I am not dependent on anybody. By all means, keep making statements of fact that have literally nothing to do with reality. It fits you well.

Whatever you say. Keep repeating that mantra and I am sure you will believe it eventually. No one else will, but you will. And Kasich is no conservative. Maybe a RINO, but no conservative. But, he did win one state.....:thumbup:

Yet again another Republican LIE!

Corporate Income Tax Rates around the World, 2015 | Tax Foundation

The highest corporate tax rate is Africa!

Fifteen (of Many) Reasons Why We Need Corporate Tax Reform | CTJReports

At least 15 Fortune 500 companies paid ZERO taxes. I paid more taxes than they did!

"The United States has the third highest general top marginal corporate income tax rate in the world at 39.1 percent, exceeded only by Chad and the United Arab Emirates."
====================
The top ten highest income tax rates in the world are ALL socialist countries. And it is not the wealthy paying for socialism in those countries, it's everyone.

Since Carrier HVAC is moving to Mexico whee there is a much lower corporate tax rate and they will be paying employees $6 per hour instead of $34; do you believe 1) will they be selling their products for much less than they do now and 2) will their corporate executives take huge pay cuts since the tax rates and labor costs are much less than in Indiana?

Do you think that anyone has the right to mandate prices, other than the competition with Free Trade? Trump says that he will charge import taxes on Carrier if they insist on moving to Mexico. That seems legit to me. On the other hand, I do not think that the Federal gov be allowed put a price cap on products or mandate a wage scale. It is not Free Enterprise if the gov puts stipulations on trade.

What corporations pay their employees, such as bonuses is up to them, not us. I see no problem if I own a business and decide to give a giant bonus to the ones that bring me a profit. The gov gives big bonuses for doing nothing. I've seen it. Ask Hillary how many bonuses she has given to her staff in the State Dept.

The bonuses and salaries the Fed Gov gives it's employees is peanuts to that of corporate executives. Top pay for a Fed employee is around $177,000 while corporate executives would sneeze at that salary. Top bonus in the Fed gov is around $40,000.

You are right that the government does not tell private companies what to pay their executives. The only pay mandate is minimum wage. Unions take care of the rest - as they should.

I was in a union for 21 years and the most I ever made was $27,068 and that included overtime.
"Top bonus in the Fed gov is around $40,000" sounds pretty dang good to me.

UNIONS????
Unions are defunct. They are no longer needed.
Private sector union membership is 6.7% and slipping fast.
Union membership should not be allowed in the public sector. Why should gov workers be able to force us, the taxpayer to pay them more? If they don't want to work for us, then they should quit. Our taxes pay their wages so they should not be able to utilize unions to negotiate benefits. Every time they get a raise, we have to pay higher taxes.

The corporation is moving work off shore to lower the cost (increase the margins) so why would anybody think they would consider a selling price reduction which would again lower the margins that they moved off shore to attain??????????????????????????????

Why would the execs take a pay cut because the tax rates are less?

No, they borrow more to pay them more...
