I ain't talking about raising business taxes. I'm only proposing that Big Business pays its fair share. Little businesses, as a rule, pay their fair share. I paid income taxes at a 28 percent rate last year, but GE only paid at a 9 percent rate. Some businesses (like Motorola in recent years) paid no income taxes whatsoever.

Do you consider this fair? I sure don't.

It's corporate welfare.

"Businesses don't pay taxes. They collect them."

You'd think anyone who had ever read a book on econ or business would know this.

Oh. We're talking about flapquak, aren't we?
