When it comes to tax day, many big American corporations have a powerful message: We’ll pass.
Of the Fortune 500 companies that have already filed their 2018 taxes, 60 were profitable and yet avoided all federal income tax, according to an ITEP analysis released on Thursday. The total U.S. income of the 60—which ITEP reports included such names as Amazon, Chevron, General Motors, Delta, Halliburton, and IBM—was more than $79 billion and the effective tax rate was -5%. On the average, they got tax refunds.
In a previous ITEF study of 258 Fortune 500 companies that were profitable in every year from 2008 to 2015, 18 of them paid no federal income in any of those years. According to ITEP, 2018 saw the second-largest corporate income tax reduction, with only 2009 showing a bigger fall.
The current public face of this issue has been Amazon, which has taken heat of late for not paying Federal income tax in 2017 or 2018. That’s despite an analysis of public financial data by Fortune which showed that since going public, the company has amassed a total net income over 22 years of $57.8 billion.
New taxes that came into effect in 2018 were supposed to stop the juggling, but at most it only made a dent. “The game is still being played in a big way,” Gottlieb said. “Maybe slightly less than before, but there’s still a lot of income shifting going on.” -

Anybody see anything wrong with this picture?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

I never said I supported Trump. In fact, I repeatedly stated I don't support any of them. If you had actually been paying attention, instead of slobbering out your completely predictable excuses and talking points for your own pathetic support for traitors to the country, you'd know that. -

2019-12-31 at 11:41 AM UTCThe fairytale world of the Born Again Christian looking for Rapture
The question of the decade is: Why do people support President Donald Trump? A letter to the editor of the Lexington Herald-Leader by David Bowles claims people only support Trump because they believe his “fairy tales.”
We all know why white supremacists do, that is obvious. But why do good people support Trump? It’s because people have been trained from childhood to believe in fairy tales.
From childhood, they were told stories that were fascinating but simply not true. This set their minds up to accept things that make them feel good. Later in life some people mature, study facts and cause and effect, and start thinking more logically, even if the results are undesirable.
So you have this population that loves Trump because he makes them feel good. The more fairy tales and lies he tells the better they feel. Trump is a master liar who knows what makes people feel good and that is what he goes with. Sure, it would be nice if climate change did not exist.
Show me a person who believes in Noah’s ark and I will show you a Trump voter. There are multiple solid scientific reasons the ark did not happen. Some people learn this and some don’t, and those who don’t will accept Trump. But can the world survive on fairy tales?

Nixon was a skilled lawyer who had argued before the U.S. Supreme Court and survived political crises both public and personal.

Nixon was a skilled lawyer who knew the powers and limitations of each piece of the U.S. government — including his own.
Toward Watergate’s end, Nixon took stock of his situation in light of his deep experience and educated judgment — and, in a farsighted move, resigned the presidency before the U.S. House of Representatives could impeach him. Nixon, in other words, knew when the jig was up.
Today, it’s Donald Trump who’s enmeshed in a presidential scandal. It’s hard to imagine a man whose political experience and temperament are less like Nixon’s. Nixon had a lifetime in politics; Trump never held a political office before the presidency. Nixon, at least in public, spoke and wrote in the measured tones of an accomplished government official; Trump — well, we know how Trump expresses himself. Nixon was a subtle strategic thinker; Trump’s signature skill, as his wife Melania has said, is to "punch back 10 times harder."
Trump will do almost anything to avoid acknowledging that he’s been defeated. He never accepts it — even when it happens.
Nixon was charged with actual crimes. See the difference now? -

What crime? Crime being defined by a statute. Nixon had three articles of impeachment. They were obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress. One of those is a crime. Can you guess which one? I'll give you a hint. It's the article that Trump does not have. I know you are mentally challenged as evidenced by the fact that you let cable networks do your thinking. So here is the answer.

See the difference between the sham that Pelosi won't even send to the senate vs Nixion and his very real crimes? -

RottenRobert doesn't even know what a statute is.
