Companies Paying the Most (and Least) Taxes

20% of big companies pay zero corporate taxes

How can profitable companies end up with a $0 corporate income tax bill? There could be a few reasons, according to the GAO.

Among them, they may get a lot of tax deductions for losses they had in previous years but carried forward. They also may be able to write off more for depreciating assets than they have to claim on their financial statements. Or, if they made profits offshore and haven't brought them back to the United States, they would not owe U.S. tax on them until they do.

Is it surprising that companies had huge losses carried forward from 2008 and 2009?
Only to liberal morons.

No kidding they play accounting games and pay no taxes. Not to mention huge CEO pay deductions.

if the illegal labor was not available, who do you think the farmers would hire to pick their crops? How about welfare recipients or prison inmates? OR, how about the unemployed? whats wrong with doing some work to receive your UE check?

I'm sure that would be highly efficient labor. You are too funny.

more efficient that giving them money for sitting on their ass. "if you don't pick the oranges correctly, you don't get your UE check" see how that works?

Yes I see how that would be a disaster.

how exactly? because the poor welfare guys might get their feeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings hurt?

Well none of them know anything about farming. How will they get to the farm? Will the government buy the farms, or do the rich farmers just get free labor?

1. picking crops is not a highly skilled activity
2. Buses, paid for by the farmer
3. The farmer pays the state, the state pays the workers. the taxpayers no longer have to fund UE payments. Everyone wins
4. the workers have the option of working directly for the farmer at a higher hourly wage.

These "problems" are easy to fix if we engage our brains and work together.

 

[Brain357]

Prices of domestic will go up.

Will hurt exports too.

We can't boot illegal aliens because that would hurt exports?

We export lots of food which would increase in price, decreasing demand.

Why would food increase in price?

Lots of cheap immigrant labor in the food business.

Time to automate that low-skilled work.

Yes increase unemployment. That's great for an economy.

FDR understood the depression was not about the banks but about people suffering.

So in your opinion, making them suffer for an additional SEVEN YEARS was a good thing. How?

How long did the did the depression of 1920 last?

why not require welfare recipients to pick our crops in exchange for their welfare payments?

How many do you think live near a farm?

You want the government involved in farming?

The government is already heavily involved in farming via subsidies.
Farms tend to be grouped together in rural areas...prisons tend to be located in rural areas.
Using welfare recipients and prisoners to work agriculture and various other industries could be a major WIN in all ways....AND we just may have a President in office with balls big enough to pull shit like this off.

20% of big companies pay zero corporate taxes

How can profitable companies end up with a $0 corporate income tax bill? There could be a few reasons, according to the GAO.

Among them, they may get a lot of tax deductions for losses they had in previous years but carried forward. They also may be able to write off more for depreciating assets than they have to claim on their financial statements. Or, if they made profits offshore and haven't brought them back to the United States, they would not owe U.S. tax on them until they do.

Is it surprising that companies had huge losses carried forward from 2008 and 2009?
Only to liberal morons.

No kidding they play accounting games and pay no taxes. Not to mention huge CEO pay deductions.

who wrote these deductions into the tax code? here's your answer: which party has controlled congress for most of the last 80 years?

CEO pay is not deductible. and CEOs pay income taxes on their pay, bonuses, stock grants, cars, etc.

Writing off employee compensation is not a tax subsidy..

libs don't understand what "subsidy" means. Paying a farmer not to grow corn is a subsidy. complying with the tax code is not a subsidy.

What is an accounting game? I ask because I'd like to pay no taxes too.
