so somehow you manage to squeeze 35% tax out of apple, all sounds great except who owns apple stock? I would guess 90% is owned by the middle class with their 401ks, mutual funds, middle class apple fanboys who bought apple stock, etc... so if you tax apple 35%, it will really come out of middle class pocket, at best accomplishing nothing, but more likely actually leaving the middle class with less spending power...  |
spending too much is definitely a problem but isn't that just another scapegoat to excuse this behavior? i just don't get why the average person is expected to pay taxes when these financial behemoths aren't. so what if stocks take a dip? they'll go back up. businesses are expected to pay taxes. we shouldn't be treating them like gods.
