Then quit buying from the motherfuckers and save money. Downsize. Everbody want to keep up w/ the Jones. I live a simple lifeQuoteQuoteMe thinks more like raising corporate taxes.
I keep hearing you say "Raise corporate taxes". Who do you think pays those taxes. They pass it to the consumer. Do you think a big corporation is going to eat a big tax hike without passing it along to others. Come on man, I gave you more credit than that.

There's an idea, quit buying from the corporations. Who cares about all the jobs that will be lost. Greed is evil, but Capitalism is not.
Guess what happens when unemployment goes up? Consumer spending goes down. Interest rates go up. We have inflation. It's called a recession. Last I heard, those were bad.

If the govt. has to raise $X, then raising corporation taxes means the expensive high powered tax lawyers work for all of us to keep our prices down. If they raise income taxes, the high powered lawyers only work for the wealthy who can afford them.

A war based on falsehoods that has not improved America's security, has killed over 3,000 American service personnel and countless tens of thousands of Iraqis, has assisted Al Qaeda regain its strength and recruit supporters, has reduced stability in the Middle East, has hindered US diplomacy worldwide, has made France look wise and the US look stupid, has strengthened Iran, has played a major role in driving down the value of the $US, has helped this administration rack up enormous debts for our children to pay off...
How does that $Trillion expenditure help our defense
99% of this paragraph is a lie or distortion.
I thought you despised lieing? I guess not since you are so good at it
I think you've got your numbers backwards. I only found 1% that wasn't accurate. It hasn't reached a $trillion just yet. The rest is spot on.

But that's the whole point. If the corporations find tax loopholes, OUR prices go down. That's what Lefty claimed.

Don't bother asking me. I have no idea what he's talking about. However, I am interested in how he mistook me saying "If you raise corporate taxes, prices go up" with what he apparently thinks I said: "If the corporations find tax loopholes, OUR prices go down."

Shit. Congress is trying right now to raise cig. tax 61 cents a pack. They already tried and Bush vetoed it. At least he's done one right think.

Are you claiming now that its a one-way rachet? Taxes = prices, but tax reduction != price cuts?

Ok, I think you're just a bit confused. When I said "Psst, raising corporate taxes will make your cigarettes cost more too", I meant just that. A tax on a corporation means they have a higher operating cost, a cost which they pass on to the buyer of their product. I literally have no clue where you are drawing some claim I made about loopholes, or about denying that tax reductions equal price cuts. Are you sure you're responding to the right person?
