When you post a reference to an obviously biased source - you might mention it.

And believe me, Wall Street is not "terrified" of Sanders in the least.

It's worth mentioning, again, that corporations don't pay taxes. They merely act as transfer agents. Every expense they incur in the course of doing business, whether for materials, labor, services or taxes, is built into their price structure.

It's also worth mentioning that no major corporation operating in the United States does so without incurring taxes of one kind or another.

Worth mentioning a Corp will never pay unless forced to - CEO greed

What's your source?

Source for what? - ...and incidentally...

...EVERYONE pays taxes because they're "forced" to, including you. The force is the tax law and the enforcement of it. Moreover, no one has any obligation - or even a patriotic duty - to pay more tax than the law requires.

Don't tell me you'd be sending the government money if you weren't forced to. So you're a CEO, right?

Sounds biased - sm

You criticize the OP, yet make the assertion that Wall Street is not concerned about Sanders without a source.

The difference between me and a corporation? You have got to be kidding. What pittance the corporation pays me, I pay taxes on here in the US. The corporations pay the CEOs million, they hide their profits off-shore, they exploit labor and the environment and the infrastructure, then show no profit for which they then receive government welfare subsidies from the taxpayer's pocket.

When you modify your post to reflect reality - I'll respond to it.

There's no way to respond to mere rant and spew.

I know it's not realistic to think that we could ever get to the point where people would pay the taxes they are supposed to pay, but that would solve our budget problems and nobody would go hungry. The middle class would have more money to spend and we would buy things from the big companies who make them. We would all save money because we would be driving on better roads, not tearing our cars apart, children will be getting a better education and not have to move in with their parents wh ...

now a corporate president, either repub or democ? Ayn Rand would be very happy... I once had an Indian doctor (whom I admired very much) tell me people from other countries before coming here read "Atlas Shrugged" and Ayn Rand's books. This is their view of our country. I read the book and was sickened at the ruthlessness and worship of money as a god... kind of like, well, now. ...

I am about to leave the MT world (please, Lord, soon--I cannot stand seeing NJA all day, and my budget is sunk) and am applying for a job with some law firms. One of them is a really corporate kind of thing. I have always been more of a casual gal, but casual would not cut it with this firm. I am not fat, not skinny, just average build, average looks. Not a show-stopper, not ugly, either. Just an average woman you wouldn't look at twice. If you needed to present a good corporate imag ...

A common complaint in today’s world is one of disconnection. Our industrialized world has resulted in less contact with community — we don’t know our neighbors or who grows our food. In the same way that we’ve lost touch with a deeper sense of belonging and place, many of us have become disconnected from the soul of our work. The corporation-worker structure today is a master-servant relationship. We’re slaves to the company, working longer hours for less wage ...

Even the New Republic called the Democratic National Convention 'one big corporate bribe,’ as Trump-phobic donors threw in big money. Corporate interests and influences have gained a great deal of ground in the Democratic Party under Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. For example, Clinton’s 2008 campaign co-chair, former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz rescinded a DNC ban enacted by Barack Obama in 2008 on donations from lobbyists and SuperPACS. The dec ...

There was some debate below about whether America's biggest bankers supported Republicans or Democrats, so I looked it up myself.

Frank Church (D-Idaho) and Hugh Scott (R-Pa.) and publishes its work tracking money in politics in extensive reports; at first via books, now via the internet. I cannot guarantee its legitimacy, ...

During negotiations regarding raising the nation’s debt limit, congressional Republicans have defended tax loopholes for corporations, claiming that America has a high corporate tax rate that is stifling economic growth and job creation. But the Center for Tax Justice (CTJ) has crunched the most recent data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Office of Management and Budget, and the Census Bureau, and finds that “the U.S. is already ...
