1. Yeah right. Corporate profits are at an all time high...

With the Stock Market doing do well, over $7 Trillion in tax Havens not being taxed, it is hard to feel pity for the Corporations who pay no taxes at all.

2. Beware of these so called business interests...with most of the earned wealth in this Country

going to the top 1%ers over the last several decades and these people not paying their fair share of taxes (witness the large number of companies not paying any tax at all, regardless of their income), there are literally not enough people to fill all of the offered jobs AND the federal deficits is at all time highs because our former idiot PINO gave unpaid for tax cuts to these people...and guess who was still paying the bulk of the bills in the meantime? Us.

Guess what they're going to do again? Dump the bills on us yet again. Despite their record prosperity, their record stock prices, etc., they still don't want to pay nothing, they are not willing to pay their fair share of taxes...

Figures.

3. Can't raise taxes when business is good: It will destroy the economic boom.

Can't raise taxes when business is bad: It will prevent a recovery.

Conclusion: Can't raise taxes ever.

A majority of millionaires support a wealth tax on those worth $50 million or more, but their support declines for a tax on those worth $10 million, according to a new poll. Fully 59% of millionaires said they would support a new federal tax on wealth over $50 million, according to the Q4 CNBC Millionaire Survey.
