Re: Worth repeating - corporations don't pay taxes-customers do said by GetReal :The argument was made that taxes should not be levied against businesses, only against natural persons or, in the post replied to, "individuals". Nope. His point was that taxes levied against businesses are simply passed on to individuals. |

| said by footballdude:Nope. His point was that taxes levied against businesses are simply passed on to individuals. In the original post, yes. In the post I responded to, no. The point of the post I responded to was that taxes levied on business should be eliminated because they are simply passed on. My point is that creates a problem whereby business benefits from services it doesn't pay for if you do that. There is no reason to debate that those taxes are passed on to customers since we all know that is the case, however it is fair to debate the idea that business should pay no tax because they pass those costs on. |

 Huh
@verizon.net | Huh? So you understand business passes the cost of taxation onto customers, hence individuals are already paying for the government services from which the business benefits. Business ALREADY benefits from services it doesn't pay for. Seems you're contradicting your own point... |

| Uh, what? If you continue along your line of reasoning, my employer is paying my property taxes because my money comes from them. And if you keep going, it means that anyone that purchased a service from our company is paying for my property taxes. But because I might have paid for something from our customers' employers, I'm paying them to give me my money back to pay my own taxes. Rinse - wash - repeat.
Seriously, that argument can get a bit ridiculous. |
