I guess all I can say is that many of you just sound like very angry people who wouldn't be happy even if a million jobs were created under the Obama Administration.

Wallow in your frustration and anger, if that's what makes you feel good.

Corporations do not pay taxes, as business does not. All costs of doing business are passed down the line to the end consumer who pays for every entities tax costs.

Another reason I would like to see "national sales tax" take the place of any tax of any kind on income.

That was crap! Taxes need to be cut across the board and the 50% of those so-called low income need to be taken off the tax-welfare rolls.

I would be very happy if 1 million or even more jobs were created under obama......the problem is that 7 million jobs have been lost under obama, and his policies are making it worse, bush was bad. obams is bushx2

do you think that MANDATING insurance will make it easier for people or bussinesses......NO

do you think assigning FINES to businessses and people will make jobs come or go.........they will go

do you think that instead of finding solutions to the problems, that assigning a tax to it will help........no


do you think helping to outsource jobs is helping americans????

Every Corporation and/or business will add the cost of whatever tax the government extracts to the price of their service/product and pass that plus the cost of overhead/accounting/legal that the record keeping costs them to the next level(s) necessary to complete their service/product and the final accumulative costs of this tax collection is paid for by the end consumer.

It would be far less expensive for the end consumer if these Corporations and businesses paid absolutely no taxes with the cost of paying those taxes added at each level. This includes suppliers that provide parts/services, etc., to products and other services (gotta buy tools, protective gear, vehicles, etc., etc.,) Just take one product you use and go back up the line and realize that every single business and/or Corporation that is involved somehow to produce what you end up with will have added all as stated above and some will have added other incurred costs. Mind boggling, isn't it?

The corporate tax in the USA = 35%.It's the second largest in the developed world (Japan is first = 40%, but they want to cut it).
It's just too high, most of economists say it

exactly

the price of product xyz is based on cost to produce to include employees, and property taxes, electric bill, and the corporate taxes

do they really think it costs $20 to produce a 10" table saw blade...nope that's the retail price which include ALL markups to include taxes for ALL steps of the process
