Middle class Americans can't get tax breaks and are lead to believe that we should pay taxes. However, large corporations who benefit from our cheap labor, can pay taxes but they rather not pay taxes and give to lobbyist to fight against taxes for them. Lets face it no one wants to pay taxes but if banks can spend all of this money on lobbyist to get them out of paying taxes then why don't they just pay their taxes like all of us. The corporations are the one that have a sense of entitlement by lobbying against paying taxes. However, when the regular middle class American wants to make sure that everyone is responsible for the benefits that this country provides they are called as "free loaders." The corporations are the damn free loaders and want to make sure everything is in their favor: no environment regulations to prevent exploitation of the land we all live on, no taxes on them but for the workers its just, low wages for the workers that create and buy their goods, no health benefits for the workers but the best for themselves, and so on. The corporations benefit from us paying taxes because who do they think "protects" this country and expands their imperialist goals? We do the regular Joe and not the Bill Gates kids. So not only do they expect us to go fight their wars but also to pay for them. This is a SCANDAL. People of America stand up for yourself because you know that these corporations or politicians won't. They only look out for themselves and they don't care about the common person in the world.
They don't. That's a fallacy.
It's true, the 'regular Joe' typically pays more in taxes percentage wise, why do you think there are groups supporting 'tax revolt?' Meanwhile and until such a revolt becomes a reality there are ways around the problem if you scrimp and save and run your own business/es on the side and build them though. If you operate a business from your home (complete with a business name filing and any necessary licensing such as a wholesaler's license) you too can take several deductions-contact your local SBA office and have someone explain to you how it works and thanks for posting.
