They should be treated no different than the average working man, they should pay for what they get/use.

Typical trickle-down lies, pee on peoples' heads and tell them it's raining.
Treated LOL, no, they are paid because people like you want their product or service.

If you hate capitalism so much why don't you turn off that computer and cancel your internet connection. While you're at it, I hear Obama is opening Cuba up, go live there, it sounds like that life is more to your liking.

I have a better idea, why don't YOU stop attributing words/thoughts to me I've never stated?

Or is the concept of people using services paying a FAIR SHARE for their usage too difficult a concept for you to grasp?

Cuba? Probablt couldn't be any worse than the bow down and worship corporate America dogma you profess.

That corporations are the sex symbols of the 2000s and some would do anything for them?

But they still have more! We should tax them until they have nothing!

The OP is trying to tell us that liberalism is a mental disease.

The FAIR SHARE would be the Fair Tax where everybody pays into the system.

Our better lives are a benefit that comes from, and drives, the capitalist system.

It works a lot better than trickle up.

Throw government cheese at people's heads and tell them it's "fairness".

However, there should be no corporate "income" taxes. Those taxes are just passed on to the end consumer, you and I, as a hidden tax.

The problem with you right wingers is lack of originality.

Basically all you did was inform me that you listen to Michael Savage everyday.
