ColtonGang, your Gary Condit style of selectively giving information and using bogus interpretation, and your plagiarizing of material and presenting it as you own has inspired me to document for future reference how you present information and the honesty that you exhibit as a minion of current in vogue Democrats. Mr gary and mr. bill. It is very informative that you plagiarize a marking of Jesus.
I guess from this all can know what you mean by "Do no Harm"
Selective presentation and bogus interpretation is so clearly shown in this post.

Know your facts first......The Tax Man Don't Cometh
Loopy for Loopholes
Between 1996 and 1998, corporate profits ballooned 23.3%, but the amount they paid in taxes rose only 7.7%. What's more, many companies hired tax lawyers to help them find
ways to cheat their way out of the tax system and even cajoling Uncle Sam to give them tax credits. Unbelievable. Now that they've bought the presidency (note the car-and-oil-related companies below), their effective tax rates will probably fall still lower. Company Profits made between 1996 and 1998 Total taxes paid (minus sign means taxes given back in credits)
Goodyear $657 million -$65 million
Texaco $3.5 billion -$304 million
Ryder $489 million -$30 million
El Paso Energy $818 million -$36 million
MedPartners $184 million -$4 million
Tenneco $731 million -$14 million
Colgate-Palmolive $777 million -$14 million
MCI WorldCom $3.6 billion -$61 million
Kmart $978 million -$2 million
Enron $816 million $2 million

Well ColtonGang I see you like the old rate of change indicator and compare it with a change indicator to make your BIG point. 23.3 percent.
let's proffer an example.
Ok profit went from 1% to 1.233% That's a 23.3 percent "profits ballooned "
But gee that 7.7 / 1.3 or HUGE 592 % increase in taxes vs profit.
Now I also see you took the time to post all those numbers but you did not post what the taxes paid were. you also don't show payroll taxes paid.
You seem to have a bias of presenting facts that distort the truth. Is this stupidity, ignorance or a deliberate attempt do deceive or what I call a lie. This is how and Engineer dissects information. Is the above how a doctor presents information.
What should I give you credit for with all your credentials and record. whom ever ColtonGang is. Stupidity, ignorance or a deliberate attempt do deceive or what I call a lie.
By the way the above analysis is why you and those like you stick to one liners in the presence of those who think on this thread.

Exercises for the Republican reader:
Write a rebuttal justifying the corporate subsidy of your choice, respecting the conservative principle that the tax system cannot be used for social engineering.
Write a homily, suitable for use in Sunday school, explaining why Jesus should have condemned the sheep who demeaned the poor by feeding and clothing them, and blessed the rich man for living in splendor while Lazarus suffered. Take your favorite flat tax proposal and your last 1040, and have your acountant calculate how much money it will save you. Find the names of the five or six middle-class people who will have to make up that shortfall, and write them a nice thank-you note. Compare the GNP with the rate of taxation over the last fifty years-- e.g. the boom years of the '50s with their 90% marginal tax rate-- and practice explaining that high tax rates discourage investment until you can do it with a straight face.
the above is an unreferenced direct cut and paste from
