Reply to Fort Worth councilman's 82-year-old mother shot through door of her home by infinitum3d

Was the shooting related to him being a councilman? If not, why even mention him.

Like her epitaph will just be "Proud Councilmom"

It's a fine principle, but not effective. You can't tax "profits" because they will find ways to move money around so that they have "zero profit", paying shell companies for consulting services, etc.

Further, taxing a corporation for their income, or taxing the consumer purchasing the good they sell is effectively the same; both cause the corporation to raise their price by the same amount and both cause money to be taken out of the transaction and sent to the government.
