The plain truth is that the very large companies , find a variety of modern loopholes to exploit.
For example, GE paid zero effective taxes a few years ago.
GE is also the parent company for NBC, MSNBC, etc
Not exactly champions of conservative media ...

Back in Reagan's era, large corporations paid more taxes, despite having a low % rate.
Therefor , the GOV actually collected more revenue in the 1980's.

There is a HUGE difference between tax rates and actual collection of tax revenue.
Mitt Romney brought this up when he ran back in 2012.
The avg citizen glossed over and didn't want to listen or understand how this really works.

Here some interesting info about it from the Heritage foundation.

FYI, my wife and I have been members of the heritage foundation for many years.
For some reason you mistake me for a liberal?
The reality is I'm quite fiscally conservative, and very strong on gun rights, military and police.

You've said too many things that are false to accept anything you say at face value, which includes your comments about tax rates, tax revenue, etc.     

You perpetuate the "fair share" lie, an absolutely false liberal talking point, then try and peddle another incredibly misleading liberal talking point about the big bad boogeyman corporations not paying taxes.  And you ask why I call you a liberal?   ::)

Your reply proves just how clueless you are, when it comes to me .
For whatever reason(s), I've failed to effectively communicate on this forum.
If we all talked in person, who knows, but that's never gonna happen.

I want to offer a sincere thanks for allowing me to post and interact here.
No hard feelings and I hope everyone can understand my  frustration .

Let me end by saying , the Mueller -Russia investigation will be the end to the Trump Presidency.
I just hope and pray nobody here tries to run me over, if that prediction comes to pass.

 :D It's been real
     It's been fun

BUT...it hasn't been real fun.

Frustrated by stuff posted on a message board.  Priorities. 

Typed all that without saying a single substantive thing.  Like addressing that fair share lie, or the proper context of corporate taxes.  About what I expected.
