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

[g5000]

The total amount of money spent on welfare each year is $600 billion.

The total amount of money spent on tax expenditures each year is $1.4 trillion.

Both are paid for by higher tax rates and borrowing.

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.

Ooh, ooh......pick me, pick me!!!

The answer to your question......? Because they aren't wise or smart.....

Ah. Here's another pseudocon who screams like a welfare queen when any talk of eliminating tax expenditures is raised.

The irony of claiming "'they' aren't wise or smart" is delicious.

Every dollar a corporation doesn't pay in taxes has to be paid by someone else,

all else being equal.

No.....the more money the corporation keeps from the things they make and do, the more they expand and hire more people, the more money they make and then, they pay more taxes......10% of a 10 million is more than 10% of 1 million........

By taking that money, the government reduces their potential take in tax revenue.....because they not only limit expansion through stealing that money, they discourage others from even trying...

So you decided to change the subject of your own thread?

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Tell me, what socialist tax policy of Obama's did Trump change to make the Dow go up 2,000 points this year, compared to over 13,000 points on Obama's watch?

You really need to read the whole topic before making even more of a fool of yourself.

Tax expenditures are paid for by raising tax rates on EVERYONE who pays taxes, idiot.

Nonsense.

Why then don't we reduce everyone's taxes to zero and thus produce an infinite amount of tax revenue?

The stock market performance is happening under Obama tax policy, not Trump's. Including the raising of the top tax rate in 2014.

Notice how the dipshit, talks about taxes in, but never reduction of the FAILED government agencies? I just showed a video of illegal anchors scamming billions from US tax payers ( #5 ), but hey, those evil corps need to pay more. Why? So those future illegal Democrat voters will vote Democrat. Just cant get more stupid than a liberal.

The topic is taxes, retard.

If you are too stupid not to know how to avoid paying taxes, then you deserve to pay all those taxes you pay to the government. It isn't my fault but yours and your failed ideologue that DEMANDS that everyone be equally poor and equally miserable. That is why liberal tax people to death. Dumbass....

To collect a hundred dollars in revenue:

You tax the individual, the corporation. If you give the corporation a tax break, you have to increase taxes on the individual in order to get the same hundred in revenue,

or you have to run a deficit.

Get it?

When you waste billions of dollars on FAILED government agencies, your solution is to tax more, while smart people want to punish the agencies and give those agencies less money to waste. I notice that you don't want to debate how fucking stupid you are.

Even after you cut all the spending you think is wasteful, we would still be spending an additional $1.4 trillion on tax expenditures which would have to be paid for. And they are paid for by raising tax rates.

You dumb shits just don't get it. You have no clue how our government works, nor grasp the basics of mathematics.

/----/ Do you tell your accountant not to take any deductions on your returns and to pay the full amount?

If one group of people have lower taxes, then that means someone else has to pick up the tab. Which means working class and middle class folks are going to be picking up these rich cooperations tab.

/----/ Who picks up the tab for the 47% who pay no income tax?

with the standard deduction(s), the first $20k or so of earned income of any couple are not taxed.

That's the same for EVERYONE....so the couple earning $100k a year, ALSO does not pay income taxes on their first $20k earned either....

So those couples earning $20k or so a year are paying nothing in federal income tax and those earning over $20k a year are ALSO paying NOTHING in federal income tax too, for their first $20k earned.

the people at the bottom are not getting something everyone else is not also getting.

Fine. so let's eliminate the corporate tax and increase your personal income tax to make up the lost revenue.

It's Republican tax policy that created the 47% who pay no income tax,

and Trump's tax plan will increase that number.
