They might shift it onto some other party. That's precisely what corporations do. They are merely tax collectors. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] Opera was the television of the nineteenth century:loud, vulgar and garish with plots that could only be called infantile.

My only problem with him is that (in the past, [link\|http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/williams041200.asp\|elsewhere]) he didn't think DOJ had business going after Microsoft. Turns out DOJ now agrees with him. Alex "Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these."\t-- Ovid (43 B.C.-A.D. 18)

Profiteering from donated organs falls into the same category as "harvesting". Alex "Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these."\t-- Ovid (43 B.C.-A.D. 18)

But tax reductions WHERE and on WHAT? That always ends up being the issue. Everyone wants to lower taxes (well, most everyone). But "taxes" vary from income taxes, sales taxes, capital gains taxes, real estate taxes, corporate taxes, etc.

Why should we ask our military to die for cheap oil when the rest of us aren't even being asked to get better mileage? -[link\|http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?itemid=14107\|Molly Ivins]
