    Huh??
    Now we are on to another different topic? Slow down dude, I'm getting dizzy trying to follow your manic topic changes.
    Now, show us where I said I'm for driving up fuel prices. I can't wait to see this.

      You said it in the past. But I could have you consfused with the other Canadian. In any event, why do you keep pushing your failed agenda on my country? You've already ruined Canada.

        Oh my. Was that an admission that you possibly lied? Hallelujah!!

        Okay, back on your topic. Why is it okay for industry to take handouts, but if people in actual need get help it's the end of the world?

          You're still confused. Bigly. Keeping more of your hard earned money (tax break) isn't a handout. Only you think that the government is entitled to our money.

            You're about as clueless on government as you are on how taxes work.
            How do you think the military is funded? How do you think roads and infrastructure get built? Do you think it's all free?
            The less you get from those most equipped to pay, the more you have to get from those less equipped to pay. Or the more debt you accrue. That's how it works.

              That's shocking.

              Please tell us how much money the government should confiscate from us? Be exact. You can't do it. Answering a direct question is your dowfall, son.


              FYI: A handout is when a citizen takes money that didn't belong to them. A tax break would be their own money. Shocking, eh?

                    Of course it should depend on income, so there is no dollar amount answer to that question.

                    But, do you believe these stats are okay?

                    Corporations such as AT&T, Charter Communications, American International Group (AIG), and Dow reported that they will pay negative effective federal income tax rates on their U.S. profits for 2021, effectively enjoying tax refunds instead. (see Methodology for more details on these tax rate calculations)

                    AT&T reported that it will pay no federal income taxes in 2021, despite $29.6 billion in earnings. The company reported a tax refund—or an income tax benefit—of $1.2 billion.*
                    Charter Communications, with brands like Spectrum, reported that it will pay no federal income taxes in 2021, despite $6 billion in earnings. The company reported a tax refund of $12 million.
                    AIG reported that it will pay no federal income tax for 2021, despite $9.8 billion in earnings. The company reported a tax refund of $216 million.
                    Dow Inc. reported that it will pay no federal income taxes in 2021, despite $1.5 billion in earnings. The company reported a tax refund of $46 million.

                    Those look like handouts to me

                          I'm not sure what the corporate tax rate is, but at least that.

                                Here is a project for you. Research how many people each of those companies employed last year, what their total annul payroll was last year and the distribution of wage levels. Then let's see if you can determine roughly how much each of the companies paid in employer contributions to Social Security and Medicare. The rate is 6.2% for the first $147,000 for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare with no upper limit. The employees pay the same amount.

                                Now I know that BillyCarpenter as a business owner knows how to do those computation but can you.
