    Default I hope all hard working Americans enjoyed paying their taxex, Amazon didn't mind

    not paying shit....


    Amazon. Delta Air Lines. Chevron. IBM. General Motors. Molson Coors. Eli Lilly.

    What do these companies have in common? They paid no federal taxes last year.

    Thanks to President Trump’s 2017 tax law, the number of Fortune 500 companies that pay no federal taxes roughly doubled last year, to 60, according to an analysis by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a research group. Some of them effectively paid negative taxes, because they received a refund.

    Taxes are for the little people.

    Big powerful corporations have manipulated the government so much that they no longer have to pay.

    But they appreciate it that you do!

    They are happy to enjoy big profits while you pay for things.

    And their very rich owners are very happy about that.

    Hope you don't mind pulling their share.

    They are so needy, they depend on you to help them profit massively.

    it's as plain as day America (and may developed countries) are plutocracies, not republics or democracies


    Plutocracy: A plutocracy (Greek: πλοῦτος, ploutos, 'wealth' + κράτος, kratos, 'power') or plutarchy is a society that is ruled or controlled by people of great wealth or income. The first known use of the term in English dates from 1631.[1] Unlike systems such as democracy, capitalism, socialism or anarchism, plutocracy is not rooted in an established political philosophy. The concept of plutocracy may be advocated by the wealthy classes of a society in an indirect or surreptitious fashion, though the term itself is almost always used in a pejorative sense.

    Usage

    The term plutocracy is generally used as a pejorative to describe or warn against an undesirable condition.[2][3] Throughout history, political thinkers such as Winston Churchill, 19th-century French sociologist and historian Alexis de Tocqueville, 19th-century Spanish monarchist Juan Donoso Cortés and today Noam Chomsky have condemned plutocrats for ignoring their social responsibilities, using their power to serve their own purposes and thereby increasing poverty and nurturing class conflict, corrupting societies with greed and hedonism.[4][5]

    Who writes this shit? If you amended a business return and got a refund, it's because you showed a loss or found an error. You folks are economic illiterates

    Most very rich people pay very little in taxes. The biggest reasons: 1) The largest tax in America isn't income, it's payroll taxes. And, SS payroll tax is only applied to earned income below $127,200 for 2018 -- fck you, working class. 2) Most of the income of the richest people is "unearned" and they pay no payroll taxes on this, and the income tax rate is capped at 15% (the same amount as the income tax bracket for the lower income middle class) -- fck you, again, working class.

    I already know the tax laws and how to file my taxes. I wouldn't need any help, but I only run one business, so it's not much of a task to do my taxes.
