My latest column for FoxNews.com refuting the myth that corporations are taxed too much — by presenting the facts that corporations pay few taxes, especially considering the enormous benefits they get from our government.

Obviously Sally is an uninformed and uneducated person! She doesn’t know that corporations actually pay no taxes. They do write the checks for taxes, but corporations simply pass the taxes on to their customers in the price of goods and services they provide! Sometimes they might reduce dividends to their shareholders to cover corporate taxes. Therefore, ONLY INDIVIDUALS PAY TAXES. Increasing corporate taxes will only hurt consumers! DUMMY

YOU. Are what is wrong with America today. Instead of creating value and building up the economy, it is YOU that is looking to _steal_ money from those that have built and earned it. It is YOU that should be helping America grow stronger by producing value and creating a future for everyone.
Instead, here you are, promoting theft from whoever has been productive.
You message is simple and disasterous: “Where’s the free stuff??”
Sally, you’re dead on. THANK YOU for speaking the TRUTH!
Did you even bother to read what you wrote? You talk about corporate tax rates and then quote someone discussing INDIVIDUAL tax rates.
Also, how about giving the effective tax rate for ALL regular C corporations as a unit instead of selecting out names of individual companies with special circumstances?
PS – As stated below, if you think a corporation actually pays any tax, there is no hope for you. That tax is effectively passed on to the ultimate purchaser of the product.
As MSSmith said, an increase in corporate tax is merely a subterfuge for a tax increase on the general public being as the corporations will have no choice but to pass the increase on to consumers whether directly or indirectly.
The consumer, in EVERY case, ends up shouldering the cost of corporate taxation.
Dearest Miss Kohn: I tried to donate to your cause today but was told how much to donate, are these really donations or payments to express my views to you. Your appearance on Fox today should convince any sentient being that you are a fraud and your views are fraught with untruths (I would prefer lies) your dedication appears only to enable abortion which I totally favor especially in the area of non tax paying mothers scamming the system like Holly, Gonzales,Lopez, Garcia y Garza who has ten children by different fathers who pay her total support. As she told me last week “I just love to fuck Mexicans” should I, as a productive citizen be forced to pay for her penchant?? Sincerely Bill
Lady you have no decent arguments. You are living on mars and we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. Go get laid ya angry “BROAD”
I just read your article, and you start out talking about corporations, then use examples of personal income taxes going down for the top 400 richest people. So you’re mixing apples and oranges, and your argument is flawed.
Also, you state that the corporations needed the governments help to get started and have to pay it back. Why because they started a business that was located on a public street and received public water and electric???
I think a much more effective mechanism of getting at what we want – fair share of taxes for high rollers – is to treat dividends and capital gains as ordinary income.
Corporations can’t claim their businesses are being damaged, revenue would go up significantly, and the blatant unfairness of taxing actual work at a higher rate than passive income would be a good moral argument.
