GE profits $5 Billion and pays no tax, while most small businesses in this country, who actually make or break our economy, are forking over 30% or more. This is why our system is bullshit. This is why people scream about taxes. They want myself and everyone else who they consider "rich" to pay "their fair share" while these assholes get away scott free. They should ditch the whole flippin system and just implement a straight 8% sales tax on everything except food. At least then even the fuckin drug dealers and pimps will be paying their fair share.

    yep, I totally agree. Quit taxing income and just tax goods and services. Like you said, even those working under the table still contribute

    I work at a large law firm (not a lawyer).

    There is a reason every deal done says "incorporated in the Cayman Islands"

    Or you could move to Illinois and get over-taxed on both!
