Of course you aren't, you're a good little GOP footsoldier, and you only know how to argue with Democrats. Keep barking out those talking points.
You are the poster child for the problem in the US. Everything is partisan. The only problems stem from the enemy, the GOP, the tea party.
This is why I didn't waste my time in going into detail with my answers - because you don't want answers - you want GOP defeat, that's all. Your world is so small.
so i respond with a correct answer, and you stick your fingers in your ears and repeat your ideology aloud.
and you didn't even give me an answer to my question -- why are corporations more entitled to their profits, than I am to my own wages?
Sorry le roi, any expense is passed along to the customer. taxes are expenses. of course there are those companies that fail to do so and they go bankrupt.
As for your question, it has nothing what so ever to do with the discussion at hand. but I will try to answer.
you are entitled to wages based on the agreement you make with the owner of the business you work for. You are not entitled to more in wages than the agreement you made with the owner of the business.
If you agree to work for $10,000 per year, and the owner makes $1,000,000 then you are entitled to $10,000 and not a penny more.
if another person agrees to do the same work you do, and the owner and this individual have agreed to a salary of $50,000 then you are still only entitled to $10,000 because that is your agreement.
You may seek to renegotiate your agreement for more money. You may even get the owner to increase your salary. But you are not "entitled" to more than the amount of the agreement you reached until you reach a new agreement.
However it is not a “wingnut” view that Businesses pass along all of their cost structure to their customers. That is a fact with ever well run company on the planet. Taxes are part of the cost structure of corporations. Their customers pay those taxes.
I can't help but notice that you didn't rebut my statements either.
I'm particularly interested in some opinions on the chart I posted, which keeps getting ignored. The one from the Federal Reserve that shows how personal taxes go up every year, but corporate taxes don't.
No need for me to just repeat what has already been presented to you. Take off the partisan blinders and choose to educate yourself. Try reading financial publications and obtain some understanding of depth.

That's simply not true. A profitable company can reduce it's profits, or its compensation to employees, or a wide variety of expenditures.
You may not LIKE that explanation, but it is a fact.

You probably think the question has "nothing to do with the topic at hand", because you didn't understand the quesiton. You answer is a non-sequitor.
To restate the same question in even simpler terms: Why are effective business tax rates lower than effective personal tax rates?

No one has addressed my point, so no, nothing has been presented to me that addresses my question.
I get a good laugh at the far right attempting to claim some kind of ideological superiority when it comes to economics. Y'all are getting to be worse than the far left.

No, you're right, I am the poster child for partisanship.
I voted for Bush, and I've never voted for a Democrat once in my life. I value free markets, a strong currency, property rights, decentralized federal government, and the rights of the individual over those of institutions and organizations.
People like you have a problem with me, because I don't watch Fox News, I'm educated, and I have the capacity to think for myself and obtain facts through independent channels that y'all don't pay attention to. For that you call me a "liberal". I suppose that speaks to the intellectual vacuum of the Democratic party, anything "Not Republican" must be Democrat.
I don't want GOP defeat, and I don't want answers. I want GOP reform away from the complete jackasses who currently run the show. Karl Rove and his crowd set the talking points for the sort of right-wing people who roam this forum. Ever wonder why y'all all think alike?
