What a crazy crazy world, and righty conservatives want even more tax breaks.


".hat report finds that 29 of America’s 100 largest corporations paid more to their CEO than they did to the federal government in taxes in 2013. In fact, the report states, “The 29 firms reported $24 billion in U.S. profits last year and yet collected $238 million in tax refunds.” That’s right: these firms not only did not pay net federal taxes; they received a refund."

I don't get it. How do you receive a refund if you don't pay taxes? Something is incomplete...

More importantly, what do CEOs in Finland make??

You know while you were busy punching faces at night you should've been going to school.

It's not too late.

So they should pay the useless government more than they should pay employees?

Isn't the US President a Democrat?

You guys are missing the point, wealth distribution in the USA has become broken. A whole bunch of excessively rich good ol boys are able to manipulate and change the system and the result is they get rich, their buddies get rich, and the middle class suffers. Been going on for a long time now and isn't really news but also I find it shocking that people on this forum are seemingly supporting it.
