[QUOTE="dru, post: 1934878, member: 3047"] The corporate income tax net receipts as requested would have been only about 12.5% of net tax receipts. As enacted, it makes up only 9.5% of net tax receipts (I didn't include payroll taxes because its widely regarded that those are paid by the employee (even the "employer portion") and that the company just acts as an intermediary for passing those taxes onto the government. Please don't take this as an attack (its not), but I'm not sure what your point is regarding corporate taxes. Are you suggesting that corporations should be paying more of this tax or shouldering a portion of the burden along with individuals? Also, even if we divide by something thats larger than the labor force (say, every adult citizen in the country), that is not such a large denominator as to change these numbers into numbers that are somehow more easily absorbed by the average person [/QUOTE]
