Exxon paid a 2% US income tax rate off its profit before tax.

Who said anything about handing money to anyone? See, you're problem is that you dont see govt functions as anything other than handouts. Fire Dept, Roads, Libraries, Museums etc dont even enter your mind as something govt does. The only thing you think taxes are for is either for rich ppl to bring home more pay or to provide handouts to the poor. It's no logic involved for you.

Giving more to the rich and taking more from everyone else is ok for you because in your mind, the rich deserve more and if it hurts the other 80% then the 80% should just become rich. That to you is not class warfare...it's only wrong if someone asks the rich for more so that the 80% wont get punished.

Your class warfare only works one way.

The federal government is not there for firefighters, libraries, etc... and the expenses for roads, museums, etc PALE in comparison to the handouts that are the BIGGEST expense of our government

Taking a lesser amount in taxation, while still taxing them more than anyone else is not 'giving' to the rich... the only ones having ANYTHING given to them are the entitlement crowd

Equality in treatment is not class warfare.. but you will portray it as such because you still want others to pay for your shit, your services, and anything else that makes you feel good without having to kick a dime in yourself

how can you call a tax break for the rich and a tax hike or cuts in services equal treatment. Someone has to make up for those tax breaks and its you, me and everyone else.

That's because these are NOT things the Federal Government does, and you're too fucking stupid to grasp this.

Because you and your ilk started off with unequal treatment to begin with... INEQUALITY IN TREATMENT IS ALREADY IN PLACE!!!!... You have group A paying smaller rates, group B paying larger rates, and group C paying even larger rates.. all based on ARBITRARY lines based in class warfare and pandering for votes

When person A is paying 0%, Person B is paying 10%, and person C is paying 30% it is already UNEQUAL... equalizing it out is not going toward unequal treatment.. it is correcting the already existing unequal treatment THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IN PLACE TO BEGIN WITH

And jeez.. start making up for any cuts with even more drastic SPENDING cuts.. because we have a SPENDING problem that your unequal increased taxation is NOT going to solve

My god, you are one dense collectivist

Even then, the states maintain them.

Roads are the domain of cities, counties, and states.

You don't grasp how government works. You're a leftist because you're ignorant.

No.. it is not EQUAL and it is time to correct the inequality.. big difference....

Unlike you, it is not all about me benefiting the most from a government action.. you want benefit at the expense of someone else, continually... My rate could raise or mine could lower, who knows.. but as long as my rate is EXACTLY the same on every dollar earned by every citizen without exception, exemption, deduction, loophole, etc.. I am fine with that...

But funny.. I bet the minute everyone would be treated the same and taxed the same on each dollar.. THEN you would get a higher call for fiscal responsibility by the government.. no call for that now when the majority either have no stake in the game or have a far lesser stake in the game

GE hasn't paid a dime for years?

What could be more fair than complete and total freedom?

Hmmm. You want "complete and total freedom"? Basically, survival of the fittest? Hmmm. Yeah, what could EVER go wrong with a society that has complete and total freedom? That doesnt just mean for you, that means for everyone. So when your daughter goes out to the movies or for a hike, every man around her also has complete and total freedom. But, to deny those men the freedom from consequence, you have to have a government. And anything that is not government is business. And we have to pay for a government.

See how that works?
