In fact when I first invited him to this tennis tournament (where we have a top box), I told my late father that this fellow was going to meet us at the tournament. so we are walking past the reserved parking with all the mercedes, bmws, and cadillacs and there is this POS beat up toyota truck. My father noted a guy like that must really love tennis and obviously wasn't there to be seen (like more than a few yuppies are). Yeah it was my friend the cook's POS truck

Now that meant a Yale black with a 652 and a 3.05 would have been as having the same "numbers" as I had

He flunked out of Yale because he had become a coke fiend. Using your tortured logic, Yale should not have let him in because he later flunked out

I played Applegren (in Yellow) in the second round of the US Open but nah I was a shooter when I was training for the Olympic team
BTW I wasn't nearly as good as the guy he is playing (in blue) in this match. I only got 8 points a game
My wife is a national class athlete and a world class chef. She's also very bright. What is stupid is some moron on a internet board making presumptions about me based on the fact that she's a liberal and doesn't like the fact I tend to be hard on intellectually sloppy liberals-such as you

But they are a legal entity.corporations really don't live either.
Nope, you're wrong. As a legal entity, a corporation can own goods and resources completely outside of it's owners. This is why the corporation can be sued and the owners private property not seized if the suit against the corporation is successful but the corp doesn't have the assets to cover the judgment.what they own is really owned by the shareholders. taxing a corporation taxes the owners. the more you take from the corporation, the more you take from the owners
but you knew that
Because we as a country have massive debt. I like most reasonable people realize we need both cuts and revenue to get America back to prominence.tell me why the govenment NEEDS more money
Do you really think that?
Is that why you have no idea what you're talking about? Because you haven't been zigging and zagging?the zig zags are effecting cognitive ability.

wow this is really obsessive -I think you posted that same thing in another area
so the bottom line is that you approve of the government taking over 60% of the profit a corporation makes
Report it, and you'll probably get dinged for all the personal attacks you've made, along with the other rightwinger whining about alerts
No, the bottom line is your posts are dishonest
feel free to point out some dishonesty and again its too bad we cannot create a poll on who is the dishonest poster

well the government takes 35% at the profit tax level and you all think the top rate should be increased to at least 40% and that dividends should be taxed at the same rate as earned income
lets do the math
One mIllion taxed at 35% leaves 650K 650K taxed at 40% (260K) leaves 390K so you approve of a net tax of 61% on that money

That would be a reasonable question if the corp was taxed that much. Since they aren't, the question is nonsensical.so the bottom line is that you approve of the government taking over 60% of the profit a corporation makes
That would be a reasonable question if the corp was taxed that much. Since they aren't, the question is nonsensical.
But I do approve of corps getting taxes like individual entities because the status it holds provides a large number of benefits to the owners. If it were a Partnership, then I'd be staunchly against it being hit twice with the same tax. That wouldn't be fair at all.
You realize your bud Sangha there is arguing exactly that, right?
Here's a prime example of someone not understand the legal entity thing. The corp isn't taxed twice. It's taxed once and the owners are taxed once. If they don't want this to be, go for a Partnership.well the government takes 35% at the profit tax level and you all think the top rate should be increased to at least 40% and that dividends should be taxed at the same rate as earned income

That would make sense if I had said "it's against the law".
Or was that just another post of yours that you made even though you don't believe what you said?
Then:Shareholders are not entitled to any profits
Which would infer that one is not entitled to any profits based on laws against it.It's the law
