Do you know what year CEO pay exploded? Why it happened? And who caused it?

I also love the progressive phrase "this bill isn't perfect, but it's a start"

God you are an idiot
 
Doesn't mention the role an old tax plays: the accrued earnings tax.

This tax compels corporations to zero out their profits at year's end, which leads to huge CEO bonuses, creative bookkeeping, loans, etc., to bring the money back to the corporation in the "debit" instead of "profit" column.

This is all for the knee-jerk mindless. Has nothing to do with the cause.
 
another solution would be to eliminate corporate taxes.....then shareholders wouldn't be saying "it would go to the government in taxes anyway"......they would be saying "hey, that would be going in MY pocket!"......
 
Or make shareholder dividends tax deductible from the profit ledger.

But let us not forget: we're discussing this matter with the hopelessly mindless class envy morons.
 
what kind of retarded cognitive dissonance do liberals have to hold on to in order to condemn the uprising against the government, yet happily march upon the lords of big business/wealthy?????
 
I'm amused by the moronic argument that more taxes will help the economy. It's not merely stupid, but borders on mentally retarded.

I would say that eliminating corporate taxes is more logical....after all, the intent behind income taxes is to tax funds at the point they are actually income to someone......

I would also tax dividends, interest and gains at the same rate as wage income.....a lower rate was proposed as an incentive to get people to invest......I don't think we need that incentive any more......

yes, you're a maroon. you do both, depending upon what political party the wealthy individual belongs to.

Which party do I belong to, STY?

You are right now one of the greatest threats to this nation, you advocate armed rebellion against my nation. Go sit and spin anarchist

i read this earlier today and dismissed it as your usual rantings. though you know i like you. that said, what if the TV show Continuum were to be a reality, in that corporate overlords controlled the police forces. that said...again....what if iranian police forces were to take over? what if the russian police forces were to take over.....

perhaps we have no idea of the power corporations have. independent thinkers like STY and myself acknowledge this. but mindless leftist drones believe the government is the the only answer. not true. the only difference between a corp and a government is the amount of money they can take from their shareholders.

yeah...i said it...if that is a first quote....grind...immortalize me because i know you remember crazy talk like this and i know you know this stuff before it happens...

no, you THINK i'm a threat to your nation, but you're too stupid to realize that it's not YOUR nation, it's OUR nation and it's being taken out from under you while you guzzle the establishment koolaid that they work for you.

You support domestic terrorism, you support Timothy McVeigh. I support a law abiding society. Sorry, that doesn't fit with your anarchist views.

It is my nation, you don't respect our Republic, you support domestic terrorism.

Very good point. I was just throwing out another option, but this is a very good point.

I would also tax dividends, interest and gains at the same rate as wage income.....a lower rate was proposed as an incentive to get people to invest......I don't think we need that incentive any more......

Hmmm, no. More important than needing an incentive or not is the simple fact that the government does not need any more of our money.
