EXP. Your a Idiot They move the operations overseas because corp. taxes are to high. And 60% of americans dont pay any tax. Some get more back than they pay in. That extra money they get comes out of my pocket!

Pepi's got a point there, the middle class pay the bulk of the taxes, the lower incomes just consume gov. $$$.
No wonder the progressives do so well at election time, buying votes is easy with other peoples money.

First, I don’t really buy into the number lapew quoted “60%’'”, every time you wingnuts post something the number gets exaggerated.
If the number is high it just proves my point about the lopsidedness of wages in this country, if work doesn’t pay the country pays.
The Republican attack on labor would correspond with the downward spiral in compensation for work, wages for most have been stagnant!
I’m taxed far more heavily then any short haul trucker, and unlike Lepew I’ll pay taxes even in retirement, why is that, because we live in a
country where work doesn’t pay, it’s not because of safety nets to keep the poor from starving it’s because we don’t have a living
wage standard to keep them above the poverty level. It’s because of guys like you and Lapew voting for the robber baron party because Limbaugh
or Beck told you!

QUOTE the lower incomes just consume gov. $$$
Really? So welfare is the big tax drain in this country? 
Let me hit the bullet points again, for the bullet heads that chose to ignore them the first time...
QUOTE From 2008 to 2013, while GE made over $33.9 billion in United States profits, it received a total tax refund of more than $2.9 billion...
From 2008 to 2013, while Boeing made over $26.4 billion in U.S. profits, it received a total tax refund of $401 million from the IRS...
From 2008 to 2013, while Verizon made over $42.4 billion in U.S. profits, it received a total tax refund of $732 million from the IRS...
Bank of America received a $1.9 billion tax refund from the IRS in 2010, even though it made $4.4 billion in profits and received a bailout from the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department of more than $1.3 trillion...
Citigroup made more than $4 billion in profits in 2010, but paid no federal income taxes. Citigroup received a $2.5 trillion bailout from the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury during the financial crisis...
Pfizer, one of the largest prescription drug companies in America, not only paid no federal income taxes from 2010 to 2012, it received $2.2 billion in tax refunds from the IRS at the same time it made $43 billion in profits worldwide...
A stock clerk at Hy-Vee pays more in taxes than any of these corporations do.

I'd be willing to bet that these corps grease both parties.

you’re writing off fuel and other expenses related to maintenance and upkeep, while depreciating the truck itself!
we’re even paying to expand your belt size on flat per diem rate for meals.
