Major corporations are made up of large numbers of people. Each and every one of them pay taxes. Why should they, as a Corporation be taxed even more?
We need less taxation and balanced budgets at all levels in this country.

Individuals do the same thing. It's not just the corporations.

so BECOME a corporation yourself. It's quick, cheap, easy, in some states. $50 to form an llc in CO, takes 15 minutes, totally online.. Or buy their stocks, if they are doing so "well", you can make money off of them. :-)

Even a corporation that isn't generating taxable income is still paying wages/salaries to people which are then taxed at that level. So there is a net benefit to the tax system from those corporate activities. |

The only reason they are not liable is that they pay the politicians to write loopholes in the laws for them to exploit, such as incorporating offshore, and many others.
An individual does not earn a profit. They exchange their labor for pay, but the illegal and criminal IRS has ruled that a person has no cost basis in their own labor. This is faulty and one sided logic. It is no different than when you are deprived of something that is insured, the loss is covered and is non taxable.
Most individuals earn no more than it takes them to survive. In the corporate world, that is called breaking even. |

I (As an individual) avoid (Dodge) EVERY federal, state, and local tax I (Legally) can.
What's the problem?

If they are incorporated offshore, they arent dodging taxes, they arent liable for them..
