don't confuse my post with advocation.
if insider trading pisses you off, do a little research into corporate taxation...you'll be amazed to know many of the banks getting in line for $700 billion in cash also pay little to no taxes, and some of them indeed exploit loopholes to get tax REBATES in the hundreds of millions. wachovia is one for sure that got hundreds of millions in tax credits.
let me break it down for you:
- poor people pay no taxes
- corporations pay few taxes (via loopholes)
- the rich pay few taxes (via offshoring and loopholes)
- you and i pay all the tax

- jfornear 18y agoHow are you coming to these conclusions? The latest IRS reports show that the wealthiest 10% and large corporations still pay over 60% of all taxes despite loopholes and creative accounting techniques.
- pchristensen 18y agoSorry dude, the rich and corporations might not pay all the tax they're supposed to, but they pay the majority of the taxes collected. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1118/do-the-rich-pay-very-little-tax http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1118/do-the-rich-pa...
