I dare you to use google, and post a list here of the Top Twenty companies in the United States, and how much they paid in corporate taxes last year.

And "the rich stop producing, sheltering their money, and moved" has already happened. It's ALREADY HAPPENED.

Nope. You posted their rates. Post what they actually ended up paying

The point, as you will see, to Joey, is that fears about "taxing the rich" is laughable when corporations making billions pay virtually nothing at all. Or get refunds.

Fed Income TaxPaid 2010 -- 5 Largest U.S. Corporations

WalMart $7.1 Billion
Exxon $17.6 Billion
Chevron $8.1 Billion
GE $0
Conoco $13.0 Billion

That's paid. You want the others, look it up yourself, you lazy mutt. Read Forbes and don't worry -- looking at the website won't magically erase family money.

It's obvious you just post your **** to be funny. You're funny but, really, you are more pathetic than comical.

So, will you show some integrity and admit you had no clue that the three oil companies in the top ten paid a total of $38.7 Billion in Fed Income Tax with effective tax rates of 47%, 43% and 51% of pre-tax income?

Will you?

Can you?

No, it's easier for you to not educate yourself and just babble-rant against those big, nasty oil companies.

I dare you.

You're a complete moron.

As an aside, good luck with your pre-existing condition.

This is about "taxing the rich", not an excuse for you to have a narcissistic, snarky, ad hominem hatred hissy fit against another poster you don't like while hiding behind a duplicate Dee Tee name.

But nice you've revealed yourself for exactly what you lack.

I think there should be a cut off poverty line. say 25k

Everything above 25k should be taxed at a flat rate of 15%, maybe 20%. Including business profits.

no deductions, no loopholes.

No tax deduction for Mortgage Interest will further Savage the housing market. I would allow writeoff of interest on up to 1 million of mortgage principal.
