Corporate taxation a ruse

 Corporate taxation a ruse

Corporations do not actually pay taxes. All corporate taxes are passed on to consumers! Liberals and other math-challenged folks either cannot comprehend or simply refuse to accept this basic truth as the Democratic National Committee continually uses it as a talking point in its strategy to foment division and class warfare.

All corporate taxation is a scam and a sham because businesses treat taxes as just another business expense that gets passed on to consumers in the prices they charge for the goods and services they sell. It's all rolled into the cost of doing business and passed on to customers.

This includes all income taxes paid by businesses and business owners, all employee withholding taxes, FICA and unemployment insurance, all the fees, surcharges, permits, tariffs, the myriad other licenses and regulatory expenses, as well as the cost of hiring accountants and lawyers to ensure compliance with all these endless government demands.

Corporations also must pay taxes on their assets, property, vehicles and fuel, along with more taxes, fees and surcharges on all the raw materials, energy and utilities required to bring their goods to market, and all those taxes and fees and surcharges get passed on to consumers in the prices we all pay at the register where the consumer is then charged state, county and local sales taxes on top of the taxes already bundled in the price of the products. Even our taxes are taxed multiple times!

Levying taxes on corporations is nothing less than a way for deceitful politicians to impose ever more hidden taxes on all consumers. If you truly believe in government transparency, honesty and integrity, put an end to all corporate taxation and take one step toward exposing the true cost of government imposed on all taxpayers.
