Some people have the idea that when a big corporation makes more they pay they're employees more....errrrrr false, corporate America looks to exploit the working class at every chance they get, they're only allegiance is to the shareholder.

The idea of taxing the hell out of big companies is kind of like raising the price of lemmons when your running a lemmonade stand. Your gonna pass the increase right down to the customer.

But if they make less they will pay their employees more? I think you have a much better chance of getting a raise if you boss gets more money and a much better chance of a pay cut if he makes less, but that's just me. Look at those "evil" oil companies for instance. Everything was great when gas prices were high and they had money but now that they've dropped they are laying off employees left and right. Why? Because they have less money. But I'm sure Obama's tax plan will be the exception to this.

dont bring the oil companies up....they dont pay enought taxes.....

even though almost 40% of thier profits go back to the government.....

Yes....you read right.....when a company makes 10 billion dollars.....that means the government tookin 8 billion aditional dollars in tax revanue....

but then again the oil companies dont pay enough taxes and make too much profit.....
