/---/ what does it cost if I don't rob you?/----/ Not true. Letting people keep more of their hard earned money costs nothing.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.
Every dollar a corporation doesn't pay in taxes has to be paid by someone else,
all else being equal.
Is this serious?
