By Michael B. Brodkorb | February 29, 2008

Would the closing of corporate loopholes be considered a tax increase? Would a “wealth fee” increase be considered a tax increase?

What corporate loopholes. Why should corporations pay taxes? The only pass them on to the consumer anyway. And why should we continue to punish the wealthy? They pay 75 percent of the tax burden already. Maybe it’s time the bottom 50 percent start paying their fair share. But, I suppose these are nice ways for idiot liberal children to feel good about their hate.

“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire;”
["Jack Frost nipping at your nose."]
Take a serious look at the budget forcasts for the State of Minnesota. Chestnut states, “Why should corporations pay taxes?” and states “idiot liberal children.”
Good grief!! One of the candidates of US Senate dedicated tens of millions of dollars that his law firm received from a tobacco settlement to start a public foundation.
Besides that taxes are also paid to the State of Minnesota by people who live in Minnesota and work at the firm.
