    companies aren't going out of business.

    never believe a businessman when he says he isn't making any money unless he shows you his books.

    and the "out of control" government spending is because CONSUMERS are broke, not the government.

    I would rather take a chance on that than not bother charging taxes.

    because there is no guarantee every company will hand off 100 percent of these taxes to consumers. some companies out there may find a competitive advantage by seeing a lower profit margin and bump up volume to get a bigger market share....

    No, of course the effects of taxing a business can be varied and complicated. For instance if you put a 5% surtax on a business with a 3% profit margin, they are either going to have to charge more for their product or close the doors. Sometimes they can get away with charging more, but sales will drop off at the higher price, requiring scaled back production and layoRAB.

    But taking the best case, if the business is able to simply eat the extra cost, it still is going to have a negative effect since they will have that much less money to reinvest in the company for expansion, R&D, or whatever. That also kills growth and job creation.

    That isn't entirely true that companies pass on taxes on their profits to customers. I mean, businesses try to maximize their profits anyway. So, just because a higher percent of their profits are taxed doesn't mean that they'll raise prices as they already should have an optimal price to maximize profits. Know what I'm sayin'?

    It is more true for sales taxes... But even then with higher sales taxes the new optimal price won't rise at a 1:1 ratio with the increase in sales tax. The price would increase slightly less than the sales tax.

    Don't mind me. I just see people saying that all the time and it seems a bit silly to me.

    well I think they are NOT the same thing. corporations are not people. period.

    they should not be treated like people. period.

    they should pay taxes. period.

    and yes, paying less taxes CAN be in the form of the govt giving you money.

    you didn't forget about that check Bush sent out to everyone, did you?
