GE, World's Largest Corporation, Paid Zero Dollars in U.S. Taxes Last Year

reply to post by soficrow


Yes, but you still have these retards saying that these people are paying the most taxes of anybody in America. I wish I could physically get a copy of those papers and slap those people in the face with them!
I love how the Sheeeeeep jus baaaaaaaaaabaaaaaaaaaabaaaaaaaaaaa for their masters and actually buy into that BS they pay their fair share, fair share my big lilly white BUTTOCKS!!!!!

GM is not a person. Telling us "Most people have to pay blah" is beside the point. Every employee of GM pays taxes. Every share-holder pays taxes, in the unlikley event GM pays a dividend. For every dollar paid out in taxes to the US GM has one less dollar to invest in infrastructure, hire more people, research better cars, etc.

The US has the highest corporate tax rate of any industrialized country., Do you think this helps the economy or hurts it? Do you think the way out of a recession is to raise taxes?

Basically when a corpotration is started in the US the government inserts a giant straw into their bank account and sucks as much money as they possibly can away from the company and into the hands of government. This results in situations where, for example, the US government makes more in taxes from a barrel of oil that BP or Exxon make in profit for that same barrell. You see big numbers and immediately accuse the oil companies of profiteering, yet say NOT ONE WORD about big government scraping the cream off the top.

Ahhh. . . .
Hope and change. Why is anyone surprized about this.

GE will probably get a waiver from Obamacare as well.

Didn't GE get bailout money, and were a major contributor to the Obama campaign?

We are all SLAVES!

To corporate America!

Even the President.

I don't mean to be noise, but what job do you have where you pay that much in taxes. You must be making a freaking killing. Way to go, especially in this economy. Unless your a stock broker then this economy is no problem at all for you.

Japan has the highest corporate tax rate. The US is second. Only slightly though.

However, many corporations don't pay any taxes what so ever. Also corporations are considered a person by law, or at least have the same rights as a person. Its called Corporate Personhood.

Granted, i agree with you, they are not actual people nor do i believe they deserve the same rights as people.

I think you should make a correction, you are a Successful Rapper. I live in a community where many people call themselves rappers even though really that simply means Unemployed..lol

Yes but the distinction is one of mindset....

I am only successful because I believe I can be, and persevere through all the doubt...

It's only been in the times when I felt hopeless that I was hopeless...

My success doesn't come though from just one avenue... It comes from all of them together... You must plant a full garden if you want to live off of it...

WAKE UP PEOPLE AND TURN OFF AMERICAN IDOL !!!!!!

I fail to understand your purpose in posting this definition.
Which one are you attempting to show?

Constitutionally we(Americans) have the right of Insurrection(overthrowing the ruling body) therefore at least the first definition is nul and void in this country.

im a canadian here and i have no idea how much tax americans pay on their checks, food, and walmart stuff. it must vary from state to state, and there has to be a federal tax on top of that also. am i right.??

wondering if canadians are better off than americans in the work force, wage wise and paying tax.

please feel free to answer these question for me is you can.

p.S. to stay on topic, if they sell any of their product or manufacture it in the country , they should have to pax tax no matter what. other companies will hear this and lobby to get grants and tax laws passed to help them save m illions in taxees per year!

You can overthrow the ruling body in every election cycle, but you can NEVER overthrow the ruling body that rules over every elected ruling body.

Our democracy is an illusion, propagated by a constitution which does not apply to the corporate entities, lobbyists and special interests that actually are our ultimate rulers... Their tyranny will never fall, nor be defeated.

This is so what is wrong with the USA. Not a dime in taxes. I won't be buying anymore from that company.

Canadians pay more personal tax but corporation tax rate is a little lower. One could argue that Canadians might get more bang for their buck considering how things are more subsidized up their in Canada. It really depends on where you are at on the economic spectrum i think. If you are super wealthy than i'd say the US would be ideal. If your working class i would say Canada. If you also look at the inequality rate verses the two countries, the US is far worse of than Canada in terms of economic inequality. Out of 136 Countries Canada is 101 and the US is 40. The lower the number the worse in terms of inequality. CIA inequality index I personally would have to say, given this data, that Canada is better off.

The only real negative Canada vs the US is that the US Human Development is higher than Canada's.
Human Development Index

Hope i have been of some help.

It's not like you couldn't look for ways around it, like GE has done.

You just choose to play by their rules, that they don't even play by. That's how you chose to be the slave in your situation.


I wish I paid $10,000 in income taxes, but the most I ever see is a few hundred dollars at a time, as it's leaving my hands and going into someone else's. Still don't consider myself a slave, because I play by their rules as I see fit, just as much and for just as long as I see fit to. For remembering that, I'm not a slave, I'm just participating willingly... with both eyes open... for now.

The problem is that The United States Corporation(formerly known as the United States Government) has instituted the Law of the Water(Statute Law) over the Law of the Land(Constitutional Law) and used legal terms instead of English to deceive the people into believing the Constitution is a lesser state of rights. We are Humans not companies and the people do not want to comprehend. Instead they Understand(legalese for Stand Under) corporate laws. Constitutionally(Law of the Land) the only people to pay taxes are foreign persons doing business inside the country or foreign businesses stationed in the country, making GE outside the range of United States tax cuts. If the people were to realize this shift(which took place when the U.S. Gov. declared bankruptcy and sold the Gov. to the Crown Temple) They would comprehend that ALL but a very select few are in office illegally. Thus Insurrection(Law of the Land Right) is still truly valid.
