hap, Window framing is your thing too. "my word -- did not know we were talking about the tax code -- wow -- big bucks for tax professionals -- fortunately we have computers with all of it on line -- give me the problem and google will give me the answer(s) -- and that is where the big bucks get paid -- have I told you, took a tax problem all the way to the supremes -- wow -- district court, circuit court, supreme court -- lost, but educational hap"
Re-framing to avoid. We weren't and we aren't aren't. You know we are only talking about tax oil companies pay. And don't pay. Again:
hap, We are talking abut a tax on profit. You could be seen to be arguing that when the company tax was higher America was less of a republic. We are not arguing whether or not a fairer tax system exists, or whether it would be better for your country or not. Or whether or not the Dems could ever get a wealth tax through.
We are simply debating whether or not multinational oil pays it's fair share of tax in America. DD, gave you a snapshot of this earlier:
oil Companys compete for customers Their main competition is for government subsidies and tax forgiveness and below-cost leases. That is why they buy congressmen, or haven't you noticed? P - You are calling me socialist when it is you that supports the government providing funding and advantages for private and corporate giant companies. Typical faux capitalist attack to protect your grift system. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=169176804
