[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

	One month from today, when Japan lowers its corporate tax rate to 35 percent from 39.5 percent, that sucking sound you hear will be the contents of American nest eggs being pulled overseas, says John Kartch, a spokesman for Americans for Tax Reform. For on that day, the United States will own the "dubious distinction of possessing the highest corporate tax rate" in the developed world. And even President Obama's February proposal to lower the U.S. corporate tax rate to roughly 32 percent from the current 39.2 percent won't help much, says Americans for Tax Reform, which opposes all tax increases. All of the country's six major trading partners--Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Japan, France, and Germany--have lower rates, a huge obstacle for the U.S. as it struggles to keep companies from establishing businesses abroad. http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2012/03/01/dubious-distinction-for-us-corporate-tax-rate?s_cid=rss:washington-whispers:dubious-di stinction-for-us-corporate-tax-rate -----signature----- .................._@@@__ ......_____//____?___\________ - ---o--------BEER-POLICE----@) -----`--(@)======+====(@)--

	I suggest you dont get your news from blogs. 1) U.S. rate is currently 35% 2) Obama wanted to lower it to 28% 3) completely ignores U.S. loopholes in which companies on average pay less than 20%... with some companies paying negative tax (AKA a welfare check from the people) -----signature----- "Whenever the white man treats the Indian as they treat each other then we shall have no more wars.

That tax bracket is really screwed... looks like the people making more than 335,000 have successfully lobbied congress. -----signature----- "Whenever the white man treats the Indian as they treat each other then we shall have no more wars.
