you're right I wasn't thinking, that is what eventually always happens, however I was wondering if businesses in general are taxed the same as the oil companies? According to profits?
There's no doubt that they could absorb a higher tax payment then the little guys, and still make huge profits but no company would sit still and lose profits. So taxes are out of the question, then we cut spending for useless wars, handouts to foreign countries, and end the Fed for starters.
