Anyone Frustrated with the Economy?
You got it stumper.It is amazing how people that pay NO taxes-get free money from the government-SSi-food stamps.These are the same parasites that will whine and bellyache about someone that busts their butt to build a company that pays people.If you are NOT paying into the system-YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!!!
Well lets not forget the big rich corporations like GE who pay NO taxes to the USA
30 Major Corporations Paid No Income Taxes In The Last Three Years, While Making $160 Billion
http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/11/03/360185/30-corporations-no-taxes/
Seventy-eight of the 280 companies paid zero or less in federal income taxes in at least one year from 2008 to 2010
In the years they paid no income tax, these companies earned $156 billion in pretax U.S. profits. But instead of paying $55 billion in income taxes as the 35 percent corporate tax rate seems to require, these companies generated so many excess tax breaks that they reported negative taxes (often receiving outright tax rebate checks from the U.S. Treasury), totaling $21.8 billion. These companies negative tax rates mean that they made more after taxes than before taxes in those no-tax years.
Thirty corporations paid less than nothing in aggregate federal income taxes over the entire 2008-10 period. These companies, whose pretax U.S. profits totaled $160 billion over the three years, included: Pepco Holdings (57.6% tax rate), General Electric (45.3%), DuPont (3.4%), Verizon (2.9%), Boeing (1.8%), Wells Fargo (1.4%) and Honeywell (0.7%).

Yeah, there is a lot of blame to go around for the past 40--50 years. I think things should get a little better, expect darn prices for everything is too darn high--thanks to the weak US dollar.
