BTW Businesses don't pay taxes.  They collect taxes from their customers.  I think business taxes should be ZERO.

Depending on the price elasticities of demand and supply, businesses do in fact pay a share of corporate taxes.

I just like to look at business taxes just like any other cost involved in bringing goods and services to market so they MUST be factored in to margin.

Business tax's whole purpose is to conceal the actual tax people pay.

Nice to be able to say we have some of the lowest taxes in the world and conveniently leave out the fact that we have some of the highest business taxes.

If you say "business pass the tax on to their customers" you must also say that they pass along all of their direct and indirect costs.

They are the middle man in the transfer.

Business taxes are an overhead cost.

That cost is passed on to the consumer in the prices of goods and services (businesses can't print money like the government - it has to come from somewhere).

The customer pays the taxes which are embedded in the retail prices.  The business performs the transfer.


BTW, a VAT carries this principle to a larger scale.

Technically, consumers and business will pay a new tax on goods. Its just a matter of elasticity as to what proportion. Oil which demand is pretty well set in stone will pass almost all taxes onto the consumer in the form of higher prices. Fake dog shit, with a demand that is very flexible upon price, will see the price increase, but not the extent as oil did. This is because the producer will accept a lower profit margin to maintain sales and maximize over all profitability.Thus the consumer pays with a higher good price and the business pays because of lower profit margin and sales

Keep in mind she also says Republicans think being an illegal immigrant should be against the law.  Really.

I think the president was clearly articulating that his position — the Democrats position — is that we need comprehensive immigration reform. We have 12 million undocumented immigrants in this country that are part of the backbone of our economy. And that is not only a reality but a necessity. And that it would be harmful if — the Republican solution that I’ve seen in the last three years is that we should just pack them all up and ship them back to their own countries, and that in fact it should be a crime and we should arrest them all. I mean that was the legislation that Jim Sensenbrenner advanced a couple of years ago.

They do pass along their direct and indirect costs... It's called expenses. You deduct them from revenue to get earnings before interest and taxes.
