Corporations, of any size, don't pay taxes. They just pass through that expense to you and me. It's just a hidden tax the government has and that lefties like to rail about.
Yup. Just as we pay taxes to all of that company's suppliers. Just pass through expense.
Oh wait!
When the corporations tell us that any tax is going to just get passed down, we should assume that none of their other costs ever get passed on, then?

When you helped those people start businesses, how did you explain to them that while they wanted to make a dollar, the government would come in and take 30% of that dollar and they were not allowed to consider that as an operating expense, but rather a gift to the socialist system and they'd just have to accept that and lower their expectations?
Note the bolded in your first and second posts referenced; "Corporations, of any size, don't pay taxes" then "while they wanted to make a dollar, the government would come in and take 30% of that dollar," except that according to you, they don't pay taxes. Except for when they do.
So now that we've sorted who the liar is ...

Explain how a corporation doesn't consider a tax an operating expense and just absorbs that cost as a profit loss?
Look at the first reference above. In fact it's not an "operating expense" but on the books still just another cost like any other, as I clearly stated. You, however, are welcome to cite where I ever said the cost was just 'absorbed.' Don't waste your time. You can't.

If you ever get to the level of asking a coherent question regarding any subject, I'm all ears.
Lol, what a dance. How is a tax not a cost of business that's passed through to a consumer?
Here's how, from the first reference above;
"Yup. Just as we pay taxes to all of that company's suppliers. Just pass through expense.
Oh wait!
When the corporations tell us that any tax is going to just get passed down, we should assume that none of their other costs ever get passed own, then?"
Before all of your subsequent idiocy, I pointed out that taxes are just another cost, being passed down like any other cost.

Show me your post where you said taxes were passed through just as other operating expenses or even asked me if that wasn't true. Quit dancing and just give me the post number.
Before that; again, taxes are not an "operating expense," just another cost of business. If you have issue with that, go to the accounting department at your local university and set them straight.
But here we are, post #231, at the start of this post, and in the original thread containing that post.
"Yup. Just as we pay taxes to all of that company's suppliers. Just pass through expense.
Oh wait!
When the corporations tell us that any tax is going to just get passed down, we should assume that none of their other costs ever get passed on, then?"
The wording was chosen assuming an adult audience. For a third grade-level reader, I can see where there might have been cause for confusion.
