Re: Worth repeating - corporations don't pay taxes-customers do So because I am a small biz owner of a corp this does not mean that me our my staff drives on anymore public roadways, uses more school resources, goes to the library anymore, etc. I pay my taxes as a citizen just like everyone else and then some! Because I am taxed on revenue that I dont get to take home because I like the idea of keeping cash in the bank to pay bills and payroll, I end up with a tax rate about 40%.
We all pay our taxes and use the same amount of "public services" in infrastructure, defense, etc. Stop thinking that all corporations need taxed. Most of the corps out there are small biz like me and more taxes will crush them in this rat hole economy. Just clean up the tax code and put everyone on the same field and get rid of the loop holes that large firms can lobby DC to put in for them. |

| Well, if businesses don't want to pay their share of taxes, fine. Then you shouldn't expect the police or the fire department to show up at your business when you need them. |

The same here, but you've missed the point... If people are going to claim that businesses should pay no taxes, which would also mean not paying property taxes, then businesses should receive no benefits from the fire and police department. |

| I don't think that any one is saying that a corporation, who has a physical presence, should not have to pay any property taxes on that building. Just like if I were to buy a second home, I'd be paying property taxes on that as well. I think you took it too literally. |
