if company was incoporated in usa then they wont have to pay taxes on profits generated from overseas, in my opinion it doesnt even matter anymore do half of them even pay the required tax rate? some of the big companies dont even pay any taxes. they call it Fix the Debt.

The Fix the Debt campaign has raised $60 million and recruited more than 80 CEOs of America's most powerful corporations to lobby for a debt deal that would reduce corporate taxes and shift costs onto the poor and elderly.

Re: CEOs pushing for new tax reform, dont want to pay taxes on profits from overseas, obama met with CEOs
here is the kicker, President Obama sat down with a group of CEOs on Wednesday (Nov. 14) to talk over the solutions for avoiding the so-called "fiscal cliff." Fix the Debt campaign CEOs have said they would trade in their upper-income Bush tax cuts for a territorial system. But this shouldn't be surprising because "if their companies save billions in tax dollars, corporate profits will soar – and CEO pay will skyrocket too," more than offsetting the increase in their personal income taxes.

Indeed!

And did you know that currently $20 Billion MORE is spent in direct subsidies and tax breaks to U.S. Corporations then is spent on aid to families, food, house, financial aid, and all direct public assistance (not including Medicare and Social Security).

These CEOs, these corporations are the leaches of our society!!!

Re: CEOs pushing for new tax reform, dont want to pay taxes on profits from overseas, obama met with CEOs
I have bad news for those caught up in the politics of envy and Marxist class warfare. There is a proven strong negative correlation between high marginal tax rates and government income.

That is when governments raise taxes on the highest income folks our revenues actually go down. This probably in part because the rich know how to avoid taxes and are quite willing to pull their funds out of high tax countries.

[link to www.forbes.com]

[link to blogs-images.forbes.com]

I make no judgment about the character or worthiness of the rich to receive their wealth. In fact one quote I've heard is, "you can tell what God thinks about the rich by looking at who He has entrusted wealth to.".

Nevertheless, the cognitive dissonance any statist must face is the fact that in order to increase government coffers, so that you can squander taxes on government programs, requires the unpleasant policy of letting the rich 'keep' their money.

One way to think of it, is to ask yourself, what is a tax rate that you are willing to pay without giving much of a second thought to how you do your business? A good example of this is a bridge toll. If that toll was $100, would you find another route? You probably would and the rich do the same with where their wealth is deposited.

If the toll is only 50 cents you wouldn't think twice about crossing the bridge, and in fact the bridge collects more money in that scenario.

 Quoting: mrmuffins69


Wether you like it or not, this has been the status quo throughout history. The rules of wealth creation will change as the systems do aka 'socialism' or 'communism' but it never stops. Different levels of 'bribery' now more formally called 'lobbying' is simply enacted. In other words - these rich CEO's are able to survive in this current system - while you are not.

Any system that tried to deviate from the Pareto Principle has been met with failure, poverty, defeat, and misery. The most damaging thing that could happen is these CEO have to pay their taxes and as a result pull out of the United States Entirely.

The real issue you should be fighting for is LESS government services and LESS taxes. Fight for your freedom to live as the CEO's do, then go out there and compete.

Don't attack the CEO's because their better at this than you are.

Re: CEOs pushing for new tax reform, dont want to pay taxes on profits from overseas, obama met with CEOs
everyone should pay a flat percentage regardless of wealth. if you have nothing you pay nothing. if you have everything you pay for everything. this system we live in has burdened the poor and middle class with an unfair proportion of the tax burden. I as a tax payer have been stuck with the bill to bail out a bunch of corporations like AIG. do I see any profit from that? no. the elite keep all the profits and put all the losses on us. That is why they will be drug out into the street and torn to pieces by furious legions of homeless starving desperate people in the months to come.

I'm never in favor of double taxation. If they make money in Framce, they have to pay France taxes on it. Then when the money's shipped back to the US, they have to pay taxes on it again.

Most countries don't do this to companies, which is why many companies are leaving the US. They are taking their headquarters and all the jobs and spending that goes with it, and moving to places that don't demand double taxation.

Your desire to punish companies is harming America.
