There are legions of lawyers and accountants who spend their entire careers figuring out all the angles in the tax code to reduce their clients payments. In one fell swoop we could reduce this waste by simply not taxing corporations. They are not human beings. We should have some kind of national sales tax so that humans who consume the final product are the ones paying the tax. Then rather than hiding all the many layers of taxes we pay, it would be clear to the final consumer exactly what they are paying to the government. It would induce corporations to remain in the U.S. and not move out to other countries. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
