I am just trying to find ways to fill up the republican private prisons

See my signature (below) for the link to the White House petition to end corporate welfare!

DISFUCKINGGUSTING!

These are the Obama/Pelosi/Reid tax cuts

anyone who wouldn't take advantage of something legal would be derelict in their duties, wouldn't they?

Who here wouldn't want to take advantage of a sale in the supermarket?Or do you all wait for the item to be higher priced to purchase?
Do you buy a car and say, no discount, please give me top rate?

sometimes I think this anti-money is totally misguided.
same with the stereotyping of all ceos and all workers

You do know the vast majority of those that work on wall street(say 99%) are regular 9 to 5 workers who's benefits are considered part of their pay.

One should be careful with the McCarthyism of the 1%/99%.

now please go back to the burn it down witchhunt.

(and no I am not not blaming the bad ones, just the witchunt and hatred

so are the vast majority of liberals or democratic voters

which is why those that want to burn everything down, but have no idea what they will do the day after are totally misguided.

If Bernie Sanders or Dennis Kucinich actually thought they could win something, do you think they would be so outspoken?
Their outspokeness comes from knowing they don't have to worry about going any further in their chosen careers...that is what makes them speak louder.

(dirty little secrets and both of course vote with the President when their vote is needed to be the deciding vote...)

are people that naive to think otherwise?

There are plenty of things that are 'legal' that people with any sense of right and wrong do not partake of. But what is twisted is somehow equating one's duty with accumulating as much personal wealth as possible. Methinks you need to reread 'A Christmas Carol'.

You have also drawn false equivalencies. It's not a case of an individual not taking advantage of the best price, it's a case of companies paying dividensds on earnings which they haven't yet and may never earn, even going so far as to saddle a company with debt to achieve it. What they are doing should be illiegal, because it is not in any company's best interest to commit to paying a dividend when it does not know what its earnings will be. One could even say it is fiscally irresponisble. It is done entirely to benefit the CEOs in question, who cares about the company.

Let me borrow money from the gov't, to buy that discounted car,
so I can avoid paying more to the gov't.

The fact is corporations are by far the biggest welfare queens around,
then the Walmarts of the world defend their non living wage salaries.

I thought Corporations are people, yet we the people are not allowed
the same tax breaks!

. . . .

This is a purely political move by the selfish uber rich.

And if the teabaggers manage to succeed at putting the economy into a tailspin, they'll already be indemnified!

Satan has such treats for his disciples.

... about an incident in Germany where demonstrators took to the streets to express their outrage because some rich people had been discovered squirreling away assets in Swiss accounts in order to avoid paying taxes on them. Just a couple of weeks ago, I got yelled at here on DU for equating tax avoidance with tax evasion. It seems we have a very different culture when it comes to the legitimacy of finding ingenious ways of getting out of paying taxes. Perhaps it's no great wonder that we are so much more prone to the practice here.
