Thanks Roy!
You melt down the fallacy of “other-entity” taxation like a magician. This seperation of human-created institutions and human-paid taxation often vexes my ability to explane, but you really nailed it; I’ll be passing this one on.

Truth Seeker,

Please point out the specific fallacies and why you believe them to be fallacies.

I’d like to see these fallacies and use critical thinking skills to see if you are correct.

@ Joann Dunne. Neither corporations nor wage earners should have their output taxed. Such taxation is theft. What they should be taxed on are the inputs that come from society: natural resource use.

Seems that corporations now pay writers at the washington post. This article isn’t slanted its a free fall from a cliff. Logical fallacies are all over this article.

The question to ponder is not who pays the taxes or what method of collection of taxes is in place. The question to ask is what is the proper roll and function of government in America today? As long as enough people believe that the proper roll and function of the American government is to solve social-economic problems such as poverty,education,health-care,drugs etc.,etc.,etc.then the method of collection and who pays is a moot point. The problem is on the spending end. There is no”third way”possible. Either we have liberty and with that liberty self-responsibility or we have central planning with high taxes and an all powerful government. Hidden,direct,in-direct taxes,it doesn’t matter. What matters is how much of the wealth you created you get to keep and how much the government gets to”solve”problems.

It’s easy then, just tax the corporation, not the wage earner! It seems this guy believes only the wage earner should pay taxes! People have bought this bs for the past 30 years, I think we might be getting wise to this.
