Nope, no flowers today, but there is this.....
This is from NYDailyNews.com site. Don't go there.. x-rated today....
You've probably been hearing that big corporations who do a lot of Government work, which shall remain un-characterized, pay little or no taxes each year. This is from the above linked web site that has a lot of ads down the side, probably to stay alive.
And, be warned, there is a lot of trashy news and other stuff there that I do not recommend on the whole. Sometimes, though, they run something like this... Thanks to the DH for the heads up on this!

While GE - which earned a whopping $14 billion last year - is reported to have paid nothing, nada, zero in taxes (GE denies it), the undocumented paid billions in state and local taxes in 2010.
No, it's not me talking; it's the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy (itepnet.org), a prestigious, nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization that works on federal, state and local tax policy issues.
Obviously the old saying, "Nothing is certain but death and taxes," is not to be believed anymore. Or rather, only half of it can be believed."

Since I live in California, where there are a lot of so called Illegal aliens, I've heard, endlessly, of the impact that they have on our State budget. Well, they also pay taxes INTO our government that do not get returned, even though IF they were legally here, they would get back. They live below the poverty line, and are entitled to have those funds returned. This is only one of the reasons why there is always an undercover movement to keep them just where they are, illegal and working here. Just ask Pete Wilson, who had to be on both sides of the fence on illegal workers, both in the State house, and in Washington DC.

Study estimates that illegal immigrants paid $11.2B in taxes last year, unlike GE, which paid zero
I bet most of you didn't know undocumented immigrants contributed more - much more - to the national treasury last year than General Electric. Surprised? Yet it's true.While GE - which earned a whopping $14 billion last year - is reported to have paid nothing, nada, zero in taxes (GE denies it), the undocumented paid billions in state and local taxes in 2010.

ReplyDeleteNor was I, PJ. It just practically breaks the heart because you know they jobbed out a lot of their stuff to off-shore cheap labor, too.
