    If your employer is a great corporation then they will not mind paying a fair portion of their profits toward taxes.

      As they most certainly do, and like any person or company with a brain in their heads, takes advantage of every write off ALLOWED to them by law. Because nobody gets away with stealing from the IRS. They can simply TAKE what’s owed when you try. “Not paying taxes” is a fairy tale talking point stupid people repeat. Companies get seized, and people go to jail all the time from that one.

      If you don’t like right offs and tax allowances, then maybe the same people that make our tax code the disaster it is, should have voted for the flat tax when it was brought up, but they didn’t, because that would take away all the excuses, and THEY would have also been stuck paying their “fair share” along with everybody else, and they certainly didn’t want that to happen.

        We know there’s been a lot of big corpos stealing from the IRS, because the IRS has announced a crackdown on high income earners. This means they won’t be getting away anymore hopefully, but they were for a very long time.
