Is it time to lower the Corporate Tax Rate?

Then, make your case that subsidies don't exist just because the bean counters call them expenses.

I offer this:

Report for Congress Oil and Gas Tax Subsidies: Current Status and Analysis

The friggin' Congress knows what a subsidy is when they create them. It is documented that Congress gives subsidies to Oil Companies. You can give them cute names, but they are still subsidies.

But this is all a distraction. Get back to the point. Why does a corporation that posts record profits require government welfare?

 

Supa's full of chit and just admitted that subsidies are subsidies, even if they are deductions. You are full of chit for having nothing to add but insults.

 

Thank you.

No, a special law of congress allowing a special tax break for a special interest is a subsidy. It's not the same kind of deductible expense as insurance and property taxes that all business and citizens can utilize.

Only if there is a law granting them special tax credits like the oil companies get. Asking me questions is not making your case. Give me an example of someone agreeing with you. Cite us the definition of "subsidy" or "business deduction" and prove that they are the same.

Only a fool disputes that subsidies even exist, just because a tax gnome pronounces them also a tax deduction. You are failing badly here.

:lol: Then why don't you answer it? Why does a company that makes record profits need and government handouts?

That wasn't the question. Answer the question.

Yes, I think they should pay their corporate taxes and that they should not receive corporate welfare from the taxpayers.
