Pay your taxes, patriot!

Fox News: "Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown calls for Burger King boycott over Tim Hortons deal."

You know who else really hates paying taxes?  This guy:
Ohio Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown was more than four months delinquent in paying taxes on his Washington, D.C., apartment and had to pay a penalty and interest last week.
This was not the first time, records show.
Brown also was delinquent in 2006 and 2007 and paid penalties and interest, according to tax records from the District of Columbia.
Seems like he got his tax advice from this other guy.

Individual who pays his full tax bill and then some is not allowed to buy a Canadian person to divert his U.S. profit. In response to a free market choice, he has the audacity to advocate a countervailing free market choice. Public will decide whether its goodwill for both the individual and the company will rise or fall due to their respective actions.

DEAR LORD, IS THIS AMERICA?!?!?

No corporation actually pays taxes anyway. Since the corporate tax is a cost of doing business, that cost is passed onto the customers of the business, i.e., it is included in the price tag.

The corporate income tax is therefore another way of taxing ordinary people without them knowing it. People will march in the streets chanting "Tax those corporations more!" without realizing they're really shouting "Tax ME more!"

But... I thought the U.S.A. had the most worstest driviest-away corporate tax burden in the forever history of everywhere?

Between 2009 and 2013, just 8.5% of all federal revenue has come from corporate income taxes. That number used to be closer to 30 percent.

The average effective U.S. corporate tax rate is one-third of the 35% ceiling.

Indeed. And it's paid by you and me. What an honor.
