Of course, that doesn't enable certain right-wingers to vilify and hate the poor... and what's the fun in that?

Both problems need to be solved. Of course ignoring one side out of political expediency is all the rage
Hopefully you understand when you tax Walmart or Exxon , the customer will pay for that tax

I think corporations should pay zero taxes for the next five years. Get them back into the US then walk up their tax rates to a level that is competitive to the rest of the world. If I were running a global company and the US taxes me at 30% and some other country does at 15% where is the most logical place for me to go? As for the laws (loopholes) I'm all for changing them. Nobody else seems to be. Companies lobby congress for special "loopholes" for thier industry etc. They wouldn't have to if the whole thing was changed to something that made sense. The entire tax system should be scrapped in my opinion to begin with.

No the problem with entitlements is their tax money is going to their neighbor who is sitting at home eating tbone steaks while they work their ass off everyday and eat hamburger. They see their money handed to folks being foreclosed on with Hamp and other programs because they signed up for a loan they couldn't afford while they take on a second job to pay theirs while their investment in their home goes belly up. That is what the problem is.

What the hell do corporations have to do with this kid taking taxpayer money under false pretenses?

It's nothing short of childish to make excuses and it is nothing less than trite for the libs on this site to holler CORPORATIONS!!!, as if they have a single thing to do with this. (I guess they holler 'Corporations!!! when they can't conjure up a way to blame it on George W. Bush.)

It upsets me when I see clowns in the video who scam the system for $500 a month, it really upsets me when I see Banks scam the system for trillions

So you don't want a kid taking several hundred dollars of taxpayer money, but you have no problem with corporations taking trillions from the taxpayers

It has to do with keeping your eye on the ball. You look at minor frauds committed by a poor, undereducated underclass, but ignore the explosive fraud and unfairness in corporate tax law and loopholes-- where corporations rob the treasury of much needed funds to the tune of hundreds of billions.

The connection is obvious.

So I will as again who do you think pays those taxes when you tax corporations lik walmartband Exxon. Any loop hole you remove will be passed on to the consumers so it has no effect on big corporations bottom line.
For the small business who need it to stay I'm business you will destroy small business

Something called the bailout, perhaps you heard of it. Bush and Obama passed it.

Obvious only to those in need of more fresh air. The treasury doesn't need another dime and the government doesn't deserve it. They need to cut spending. 'Minor frauds', as you call it (some would call it Grand Larceny) have a way of adding up.
