What happens when Governments raise taxes on big Corporations?

We know many people love to see Corporations pay higher taxes, but do those
same people see any benefit from it?

1. Lower tax burden on the rest of the population.

2. More money available for public programs.

But isn't this really obvious? Why would you ask this question.

@Northwest Apparenrtly, you lack ALL kinds of education. Allow me to educate you.

The ONLY people who lower tax burden on ANY of the population are the REPUBLICANS. But when Goose stepping DemoNAZIS raise taxes on corporations, that party does NOT automatically lower the tax burden of the rest of us. Just doesn't happen that way.

And now for the education your inferior blue state apparently neglected to give you.

A. Discretionary Spending (about 25 percent of the federal budget) is where the taxpayers get value for their money. Included are salaries for government, the military, road and bridge construction, the court system, education, basically ANY entity where tax dollars get value.

B. Entitlement Spending (about 75 percent of the federal budget) is where money is taken from those who produce and given to those who do not.
And to burst another of your whiney assed bubbles, in the late 50s the ORIGINAL ADMINISTRATORS OF SOCIAL SECURITY ARGUED BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT THAT [b]SOCIAL SECURITY WAS A WELFARE PROGRAM THAT WAS FINANCED BY CONGRESS'S ABILITY TO TAX THE PUBLIC. [/b]

Public programs? Today's taxes barely pay for anything. The dollars BORROWED TODAY for that 75 percent of the budget WELFARE STATE are tax dollars from our grandchildren who haven't even been born yet.

Those are the facts.

You misspelled apparently, so the guy who can't spell is trying to educate, and is as sure he is of his spelling abilities, that he can actually teach me something. But, that's not really the key issue here.

The question the OP asked is:

[quote]We know many people love to see Corporations pay higher taxes, but do those same people see any benefit from it?
[/quote]

This was a generic question, nothing to do with a specific party. It's more of a generic question, to which a non-partisan reply was provided:

[quote]1. Lower tax burden on the rest of the population.

2. More money available for public programs.[/quote]

So, digging through your extensive educational background, do you disagree with this statement, as possible reasons to tax corporations? You might find some other reasons, and if so, please share, instead of going unhinged. Remember, this is about addressing the actual topic at hand, not your drinking and posting problem.

This is a public service message, but when you demonstrate without any shadow of doubt, that you have no fucking clue what you're responding to, and your reply is a non-related rant, you just proved you can use quite a bit of education.

@Northwest So if someone spells a werd wrong, you discredit everything about them?
That is very childish.

So why did you run from the question? Do you think high taxes are good for the country?

The feds take far more than they need, and much of it is wasted. If they had more control
of it, everyone would have what they need.

Throwing more money at the government. doesn't help anyone. But it DOES hurt the
poor and middle class. It also lowers employment.

If you and your friends think it helps, get together and write some checks and send
it in, and stop saying OTHERS should pay more. MAN UP! Walk the walk, stop
by a pussy.

Of course not but context, which you totally ignored, is everything. The Mensa reject, opened up, with the following: "you lack ALL kinds of education. ", while using a misspelled word.

Says the sarcasm challenged.

It doesn't look like you understand what the question is. I will remind you.

You asked a very simple question:

[quote]We know many people love to see Corporations pay higher taxes, but do those same people see any benefit from it?[/quote]

And I [b][i][u]replied[/u][/i][/b] to that very question:

[quote]1. Lower tax burden on the rest of the population.

2. More money available for public programs.[/quote]

So, how did I run away from the question?
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Northwest The fact remains, the feds get far more than they need. I'm sure we
can agree that much of it is wasted, and far too many able bodied people are sucking
off the system, and not contributing. Fix these two things and people that need it, will
have what they need.

The fact remains, is that you asked a question, and I answered, on topic and in full. So, you're welcome, and I will wait for a retraction from, before moving on to your other fantasies.

Even more humiliating for you, not realizing it's at your expense.

Could we not also say, that there would be far more money for those that need
it, if able bodied people were not sucking from the same tit as those who need it?

If government did not waste money, we could lower taxes for all, right?
But the left LOVES to stick it to people that make more than they do.
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Reason10 Thank you for these facts. Why some people don't understand
these simple facts, is beyond me. Comprehension problems, most likely.

@DogMan Ok, so you finally figured what you actually asked, and now you have another question:

[quote]Could we not also say, that there would be far more money for those that need
it, if able bodied people were not sucking from the same tit as those who need it?[/quote]

To a point, I would say "more money" as opposed to "far more money", primarily because you did not define what people you're talking about, and what it is what the people need it for.

For instance, there would be far more money, and I emphasize "far", if the US spent more on education and healthcare, if we stop supplying Israel with free weapons and ammunition.

[quote]If government did not waste money, we could lower taxes for all, right?.[/quote]

Generally this is true, because it's almost impossible to have an ideal government, and history has proven that there is no difference in efficiency between red and blue governments.

[quote]But the left LOVES to stick it to people that make more than they do.[/quote]

Now, this is where you go into slander land. Because every government, left or right, wastes money, and you're totally wrong when you state that the left makes less money than the right. Even a cursory examination of the actual situation, will tell you that the bulk of the money is centered in blue states, and when it's in red states, it's usually in blue spots, such as Austin and Houston.

Anything else you care to be wrong about?
DogMan · 61-69, M
@Northwest LOL, those blue states you speak of, also carry far more debt than red states.

And, NO! we do not need more money spent on the worthless public school system that
is failing our kids, by worrying more about social justice, than education.

Isn't it enough that the Dictator in charge, has already bypassed congress, and ignored
the SCOTUS, and gave more of our tax dollars to bail out college educated people, by
paying off their loans?

I would like be keep up the friendly banter, but I am leaving the office now, and starting
my "online free" vacation to the mountains of southern Utah.

Once more, facts stand in the way of your claim. And by more debt, I assume federal money.

7 of the 10 states most dependent on the federal government were Republican-voting, with the average red state receiving $1.05 per dollar spent.

Twenty-nine states sent more to the federal government than they received, compared to just nine states in 2021.

Of the states that sent more than they received, 52% were Democrat-voting and 48% were Republican-voting.

So, your forte is education? Do tell...

We don't have a Dictator. You seem to be mistaken. But it's not like you've been supplementing your arguments with facts.
