Quoted from Box A Rox

A tax decrease (or a tax loophole) for one group, is a TAX INCREASE for everyone not in that group.

When business pays less... the rest of us pay more. When they evade their tax, we pay their
share.  

This condition isn't necessary... all it takes is the will of our elected officials to close the loopholes and
enforce the laws.  

Tax the rich??? YEA.  Tax the rich tax evading corporations... YES AGAIN.

Quoted from Madam X

That's what I'm sayin'. Romney was right about the 47%, he was just wrong about those who make up that 47%. Not everyone who doesn't pay taxes is a leach, and not every leach doesn't pay taxes. Obama is pretty tight with GE. GE's fearless leader was on television praising the government of Red China.
