Why does the left believe a corporate tax break "steals" money from the taxpayers?

[JGalt]

How many times have you heard "Corporate tax breaks are being subsidized by the tax-paying public" or "The tax payers are having to foot the bill for a private company"?

Those are ignorant statements. A tax break given to a corporation isn't existing money the government has already collected from taxpayers, it's some of the money those corporations have earned on their own. Money which they don't have to pay to the government. They earned it, and they own it.

That would be equivalent to saying that the general public has some right to a corporation's earnings which anyone can tell you, is socialism.

They've been trained to believe that the government IS the economy, it's moronic and ignorant and destructive, but that's Liberals for yawz

True. George W. Bush got it right:

"Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States."

/----/ Libtards have a second issue as well. They can't grasp the notion that corporations treat taxes as overhead that gets passed on to the consumer. In effect, corporate taxes are taxes on the consumer.

So lower taxes on a corporation allows them to buy more capital equipment and materials, to give more raises to existing employees, to hire more employees, to keep from outsourcing to foreign countries, and to keep the price of their product affordable.

That's a win-win situation.

Then why is it when we lower taxes on corporations, they just keep the money?

If they could sell more product, they would already be doing it. We have been cutting taxes on corporations since Reagan.....wages have been flat

/---/ you don't know what corporations do with the money they are not taxed on. There is no one size fits all answer you drooling imbecile. Ever hear of dividends? R&D? New divisions? New products?

That article was dated March 4, 2016. Trump's economic policies are causing corporations to repatriate their profits and spend some of that money they put back while Obama was President.

The chart is irrelevant because it reflects the Obama years. Corporations were putting back their profits because they didn't know what that socialist fuckstick was going to do.

Wait one second!!!

Corporations leave their money where it is taxed less?
Are you sure?

They do this......on purpose?

That can't be right.
That says wages and salaries are 44% of GDP, profits only 12.5% of GDP.

How did it "go to shit"? Corporate profits rose because we went to war. You do remember that war, right? There was a momentary spike in wages and salaries in 2009 but that was only due to Obama's massive increase in the size of the government and his bogus "stimulus package". The stimulus package didn't create anything but government jobs or payed back to the labor unions for their support. But as you can see, it didn't work because the wages and salaries continued to drop throughout the Obama years.

Because they believe everyone's money is actually theirs to begin with, and if a certain individual gets to keep some not giving it to them, then that is obviously stealing.

While the top 1 percent pay a larger share of taxes, they also earn an outsized share of income. According to the Tax Policy Center, they earned 17 percent of expanded cash income in 2014. (Some studies have given higher estimates for this group's share of income depending on their different definitions of income.)
