That old argument. Gee, flappy, I thought I explained that to you a few weeks ago. GE employees pay the same or more than you. The more GE pays them, the less profit they make. The less profit, the lower the corporate tax rate. If you compare your rate with a company's, you need to factor in the company's payroll. Really, this is elementary. I paid 39.6 last year and you paid only 28. Better cough up a little more for your fair share.

You don't want to face reality. The corporate tax rate is 34%. All the loopholes democrat congressmen wrote into the IRS laws from 54 to 94 are what you are complaining about. clinton never signed any corporate tax cuts. He wanted every penny he could squeeze out of taxpayers. You are the one who voted democrat and now you're crying about laws they enacted to gather campaign funds.knc
