he still did not explain why its double taxing. Just more Ad Hom, lol.

As far as Jim is concerned we need a token Alzheimers patient to remain politically correct.
When Chris doesn't have an answer, he just makes something up. But, he criticizes others for doing the same thing.
Thanks for the insult again.

"How is it double taxing?"

Let's go back to your "The simple solution to the double taxation problem".

Your solution merely calls the tax something else. It doesn't change the problem.
Bump for rivers. Let's see if he can respond without insults.

Why Neal, would it be wise to pass on corporate taxes onto investors? In my opinion, the result would be a decrease in investors and subsequent decrease in IPO's and business activity in general.

I think we should get back to basics, have government cut out all but minimum spending and limit the federal government to those functions defined in the constitution. It's time to rid ourselves of the inefficient burden this blood sucking middle man brings to the table. We don't need an expensive government operation running our lives.

It solves the problem in that it isn't a double tax. It's a single tax on the corporate profits, which are not taxed to the corporation, but distributed to the shareholders, who are then taxed only once. You're avoiding answering the real question because you have been caught in an error, which is your usual response.

You're still simply sweeping the problem under the carpet of a name change, renaming corporate gains income. Mere semantics.

And what is my error? Explain.

You're entitled to your opinion, but do you seriously think that investors would stop investing if they didn't have a lower tax rate? That's baloney and nothing more than an attempt by the wealthy to gain even more wealth at the expense of everyone else. We can argue forever about what is defined in the constitution. I'll go with what the Supreme Court rules. If you want to change the constitution, have at it.

Corporate taxes only end up being paid by consumers anyhow.

Your error is denying that corporate gains are income. That's ridiculous.

"You're entitled to your opinion,"

Doesn't that go without saying. Wonder if Mike could add a feature that prefaces each post with "In my opinion...".

More BS. Taxes are computed after the fact of determining income. No income, no tax.
