If American Politicians Are Owned By Corporations, How Come

[Edgetho]

We have the highest Corporate Income Tax of the 34 Country member OECD?

39.1%

And the 3rd highest on the Planet behind only Chad and the UAE. Which is laughable

And how come we have the highest Capital Gains tax rates FAR above the average of Countries in the OECD??

The US has both high corporate and capital gains tax rates vs. other advanced economies - AEI Pethokoukis Blog AEIdeas

Currently, the United States’ top marginal tax rate on long-term capital gains income is 23.8 percent. In addition, taxpayers face state-level capital gains tax rates as low as zero and as high as 13.3 percent. As a result, the average combined top marginal rate in the United States is 28.7 percent. This rate exceeds the average top capital gains tax rate of 18.2 percent faced by taxpayers throughout the industrialized world. Even more, taxpayers in some U.S. states face top rates on capital gains over 30 percent, which is higher than most industrialized countries. In fact, California’s top marginal capital gains tax rate of 33 percent is the third highest in the industrialized world.

And when you look at the combined tax rate on capital, you find a huge gap. The US integrated rate is 67.8% versus 43.7% for OECD economies.

And how come, if we are SO owned by Corporatists, we are the ONLY Country in the OECD that charges Income Tax on repatriated money....?????

Let me explain.

If Sony, a multinational company, makes a TV in Mexico, where they pay taxes on it, and sells it in Germany, where they also pay taxes on it, they owe nothing to the Japanese Government.

They can bring the money home and reinvest it in people, machinery and technology -- No Japanese taxes.

But if Apple makes an iPhone in China, where they pay taxes on it, and they sell it in the UK, where they pay taxes on it.......

The US Government wants Apple to pay taxes on it........!!!!

Why?

Nobody else does it. Nobody in the OECD does that. Nobody.

Apples has to pay taxes on the iPhone they make in China, then they have to pay taxes on the same phone they sell in the UK and even though the iPhone never sees the USA, dimocrap scum still want their pound of flesh.

Why?

This might help explain why Companies have in the neighborhood of 2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS sitting offshore that they won't repatriate. But, what the hell? What do we need with 2.5 TRILLION Dollars, right?

You people that think we're run by 'Corporatists.?

You're stupid. There's just simply no other way to put it.

You are mouth breathing, drool cup stupid.

Get a freaking life

Most other countries have a VAT tax.

The Value Added Tax is not considered in Corporate Income Taxes

Genius

Genius

It's a big revenue source and therefore makes it easier for governments to keep the corporate income tax low.

Would you like to add a VAT tax in the US and lower the corporate income tax?

In most Countries, their VAT is a substitute for our State Sales Taxes.

Where it exceeds our States Sales taxes, it also funds their Universal Health Care Systems. In some cases, their Income taxes AND their VAT is lower but the people get free Health Care as well

Of particular note is Switzerland where their VAT is quite low compared to other Countries.

The reason for that is because they have a sane Health Insurance program.

Your beloved Denmark has a 0% VAT rate

Swing and a miss. Strike 2

American corporations get to keep a ton of that money thanks to deductions and exclusions.

Ah, quit shedding those big crocodile tears for those 1%ers. I'm sure they'll survive on the billion$ they still have. The corporate tax rate used to be 90%. Since it was cut by almost two thirds, by Raygun and the Shrubs, the national deficit has added $17 trillion. If the corporate tax rate had been 90% all those years, it would have paid for Raygun's STAR WARS, and Shrub's stupid Iraq/Afghan wars. That would have saved tax payers at least $11 trillion they ran up.

" IF " politicians are not owned by corporations and special interests, please explain where all of the money and "goodies" handed out by Lobbyists go? Please explain why corporations and special interests make such huge campaign contributions to certain candidates. Do politicians turn down the gifts of money and "goodies" offered by corporations and special interests? Do politicians turn down the campaign contributions offered by corporations and special interests?

" IF " politicians are not bought and owned by corporations and special interests, then why is this nation in such a sad shameful state? Why aren't politicians doing more for John Q. Public, and less for corporations and special interests? Why didn't politicians bailout John Q. Public instead of the financials and corporations in 2008 and 2009? Why do some corporations pay no taxes ( GE, etc. ) and others do?

Thanks in advance for your answers to these questions.

 

[ClosedCaption]

I love how more and more of these questions are popping up that asked one thing then says "then how come" and ends with a totally different thing that makes no sense.

If rainbows are made from water drops then how come water can burrow thru stone? Does something that can go through a rock SOUND like something that makes rainbows? Huh?

HUH???

Actually Edgetho is Dick Cheney's illegitimate son and board member of Halliburton. SOmewhere I am sure the Koch Brothers were at his bris or something.

This thread wasn't intended to open a conversation with dimocrap scum.

Nothing could be more tedious to my mind.

This thread is aimed at liberturdians who still might have a brain cell or two left to them.

If we are SO dominated by Corporations, how come we have the highest Corporate Income Tax on Planet Earth?

Well, next to Chad and the UAE.

And how come we are the ONLY Country that taxes it's domestic companies on profits made OUTSIDE its borders?

And how come our Capital Gains taxes FAR exceed those of other civilized Countries?

As to dimocrap scum and economics?

Here's a primer for you to get started down the path of understanding.....

If Dick has one Apple and Jane has two, and they put them all in the same basket. How many Apples do Dick and Jane have?

Stop by later, dimocrap scum, for the answer.

If you get it right (doubtful) then we'll move on to more advanced theory like, "What happens if Jane's Dog, Spot, takes one of the Apples out of the basket?"

He/She/It may think someone else answered it since He/She/It hasn't a clue.

But nobody has yet to answer it.

If Corporations control America, how come they pay the highest Corporate Taxes in the World?

And how come they pay the highest Cap Gains in the OECD?

And how come they have to pay repatriation taxes, unlike ANY other Country in the OECD?

Some numbskull of an excuse for a waste of skin brought up a straw man by mentioning the VAT....

What the FUCK does that have to do with the price of pussy in Peking?

In fact, it only further proves my point.

If Corporations Controlled America they would be making EVERYDAY AMERICANS pay more in taxes and pay less themselves.

dimocraps aren't just lying scum, they really are dumb.

I mean drool cup, slobbering, babbling, stupid, dishonest motherfuckers

Just lying fucking morons.

All of them

When they can't think of an answer, they just make up some bullshit

scum
