Why do you people continue to pollute this board?

When our economy was booming and growing from the 1940s to the early 1980s corporations paid almost 30% of all federal taxes. Today they only pay 7%. Many of them, GE and Exxon are a couple of examples, pay nothing in federal income taxes. The richest paid effective tax rates of over 50%, and today only 16%. Take your BS elsewhere!
