Re: "Business does not pay taxes, it is passed on to the consumer as a cost added to all goods and services." A few years ago, Motorola paid no income taxes whatsoever in one fiscal year. None. Numerous other companies have accomplished same in recent years. So why didn't Motorola slash the prices on its cell phones by, say, 90 percent? It's too bad that the average working Joe can't hire $600-an-hour tax attorneys and tax consultants like Big Business does ... so as to avoid having to pay its fair share to keep America strong.
