An Idea for Cutting Corporate Taxes

Its the same libfascism. Liberals see other people's money and are willing to use government coercion to collect what they see as ill gotten gains that belong to them.

Any attempt to implement such policies will ultimately lead to second amendment remedies. Thats why we need the second amendment in the first place.

You guys do realize that conglomerates make money in other countries, right?

And they pay taxes in the countries where the money was made in most cases

So if the products, sales, and profits never touch our borders, you still want to steal a portion of their money?

I already made my pov on lobbyists very clear

alright...

So - do you think it would be a good idea IF corps were required to give up politics in order to get lower taxes or no taxes...?

Very simple question: that's the thesis.

Thanks, that is what I thought. Therefore, your still wrong.
A Church Can:

Conduct non-partisan voter registration drives
Conduct non-partisan voter identification drives
Conduct “get-out-the-vote” drives, encouraging members to vote
Conduct petition drives regarding legislation or other issues
Distribute non-partisan voter education information
Educate church members on legislative and political matters
Discuss doctrine as it applies to politics, legislative matters or candidate positions
Introduce political candidates and allow them to address the congregation in their capacity as candidates as long as all candidates seeking the same office are given an equal opportunity to participate, and the church does not express support or opposition for any particular candidate(s).
Host candidate forums where all candidates are invited and allowed to speak
Lobby on behalf of specific legislation
Support or oppose political appointments (such as judges or cabinet officials)
Make expenditures on behalf of referendums
Rent church member contact lists to favored lobbying groups
Pastors may endorse candidates as individuals, but not on behalf of a church, (if title and church name are used, include a “title and affiliation for identification purposes only” disclaimer)

Why should it be a 1 way street? American technology, money, and jobs go out to those countries and yet nothing is owed when those investments make profits? Why should we subsidize foreign investment like that?
 
As long as we take the whole of it, part and parcel. Non-profit. We can still stick to secular. Because, after all, that's what we're all about. Pluralist. That's the religious operation of our Constitution.

(chuckle)

Dude: a church cannot solicit for a candidate, canvass for a candidate OR proposition. That violates the 501(c)3 code that they are held to.

So - no, I'm not wrong - you are.

NOTE: "Being in politics" your definition given. So you are telling me the list I posted is not being in politics and I am wrong because, your quote "Dude: a church cannot solicit for a candidate, canvass for a candidate OR proposition. That violates the 501(c)3 code that they are held to." Something I said nothing of. smh

I did. Churches cannot be in politics. It violates their tax code.

This makes no sense. Why do you want to punish people for making money.

Its not a good idea to tax entity that creates jobs. Its simple greed and envy to do so. It is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

All burden of tax falls onto individuals. There's no such thing as a burden of tax falling on an evil corporation. The burden either fall on the shareholders, its vendors, employees, or a combination of the above.

Part of the point of corporate tax is to disincentive amassing cash and not investing it. This is why corporate taxes are on profit not revenues. If a company invests its money in itself, which is what creates jobs and investment by expanding the business, their profits will be reduced and so will their tax burden. It is the reason Amazon has never posted a profit, it keeps investing into itself and expanding.

Then because of all the money they make, they should be taxed at 90% just like the old days.
