How much did you pay for the 50 f15 and the 60 f16? How much did you pay for the continuing supply line to keep them working? These are just three items in a huge laundry list of war toys. Perhaps this is why that third world shithole called singapore has nearly a third of it's population living below the poverty level. Perhaps this is why that third world shithole is lower than nigeria in gdp.
Perhaps if the nazi leader of that third world shithole spent a little of that money on the people you would not have nearly a third of your population living in poverty.
Jesus you are phoquing stupid

I would love to know how many people in nigeria even earns above 1500 per mth, since poverty level of Singapore is people earning below 1500 per mth.

Suffice to say that no US corp. actually pays federal taxes at the 35% statutory rate.

Oh please provide a cite for that bullshit.

well of course, the actual 'rate' is statuary so the 'effective' rate then becomes subject to what is allowed to be deducted from 'profits.' So, I could just as easily ask, cite for me any company that paid 35% of their gross profits and you'd be as unsuccessful as I am in finding the cite you seek.

Suffice it to say, no company actually pays 35% of their gross profits as there is always deductions from which we arrive at the effective rate.

In the IBM stockholders report they often had 'cost of sales' which was the grand total of ALL deductions...at 85-90% of gross revenue. So while they now take in say $80 billion or so, they only pay taxes on about $6-$8 billion...if that.

Also the big question remains as to just what contributions the corporation makes to society and total corp. taxes paid are 9 cents of every dollar the govt. takes in, in ALL income taxes or 1.3% of GDP. That has to be at or near a historical low, so where are the fucking jobs ? I am not holding my breath.

Just look at since 1990, the great rise in profits as compared to the dramatic fall in federal corp. tax receipts as a percentage of pre-tax corp. profits. For this chart...it borders on immoral. HERE

Nigeria is, at the moment, a libertarian society.

My claim was that nigeria has a higher gdp than that third world shithole called singapore. I have posted that data several times for your edification.
You are the one who asked about the income so if you want to know that go look it up. It is not my job to substantiate your mindless meanderings.
