Owe a fucking corrupt corporation!?! Are you fucking shitting me?
Private citizens pay the government first before spending their money. Corporate citizens pay the government last after spending their money. The tax laws are in favor of the corporations and not individuals.
I'm not sure that you are arguing against something I said.
I'm not sure either. Today has been one catastrophic brain fart after another on Slashdot. I guess my skinny vanilla latte haven't kicked in this morning.
After the third grade, I became known as the kid who doesn't get any awards on the day that the principle gives awards to everyone for no particular reason.
The incident was reported security, the computers were confiscated, video taped statements were taken, and the employee terminated from employment. The corporation is obligated to report the incident to police and make evidence available for one year. I had no moral obligation to pursue this matter further. Depending on what jurisdiction this took place, the police has no moral obligation to investigate the incident.
If this took place in the United States, I hope you eventually contacted the FBI.
It was the U.S. and I didn't contact the authorities. Please don't accuse of me of committing a felony and/or being accessory. California law doesn't require me to be a mandated reporter, no company I have ever worked for in the last 20 years notified me that I was a mandated reporter and provided training as required by law, and HR/Security is responsible for contacting the authorities. Don't like it, change the law.
Yeah, the IRS only charges you a fee if you don't have approved insurance, hardly the same thing as managing our health insurance, or even health care.
God forbid that you ever owe for being a member of society.
It looks like we should also continue to invest in education.
I can reassure you that my local school district got more than their fair share when they misdiagnosed me as mentally retarded and kept the extra funding for special ed for eight years. Never mind that I blew out annual evaluations on the genius side (those were "statistical flukes"). I graduated the eighth grade with a college-level reading comprehension, skipped high school and went to community college. A decade after I graduated with a A.A. degree, I went back to school to learn computer programming, made the college president's list for maintaining a 4.0 GPA in my major, and graduated with an A.S. degree.
That would be the only "fair" thing to do.
Even geniuses are not immune to catastrophic brain farts.
That's probably why the IRS sent me a letter with my 2014 IP PIN and a follow-up letter that I should use my 2014 IP PIN for filing my taxes. Filed my taxes through H&R Block and my return got accepted yesterday.
With the baby boomers retiring, the work force getting smaller, and Social Security/Medicare consuming two-thirds of the federal budget in the next 20 years, someone will have to pay for all those taxes. Since corporations are people, they can pay their fare share.
You can tell users to clean up their machines before migration till you're blue in the face but you'll still get the uncomfortable moment when the 80Gb of "essential company data" they need transferred from their old laptop has filenames like "Busty Betty bonks like an animal".
A coworker on a PC refresh project reported discovering child pornography to our manager. Manager called the chief of security. Coworker and manager gave a separate video taped statement with the chief legal counsel. Security checked out the old computer and new computer after hours, determined that it was child porn, and confiscated the computers. For three days the employee screamed and hollered for his old computer back, chasing IT workers in the hallway and harassing management in the back offices. And then he was terminated. That's after he got five emails in two weeks that notified him that his computer would get replaced.
Unless the flash drive belonged to the company, no one should have to resign because of porn.
Most corporations have a zero-tolerance policy regarding porn. Doesn't matter if it's regular porn or child porn. If you got porn and its discovered, you're fired. If a corporation discovers pornography and doesn't take immediate remedial action, the corporation owns the porn and becomes criminally liable for possessing it.
For the project I'm working, the full time employees tried to get the contractors fired and sabotage their work. In part because they were afraid that contractors might eventually replace them later on. Opposition died down after we prove that we could drive the successful remediation metric from 50% to 95% each month, and occasionally hit 99% from time to time. Now the fulltime employees can focus on the big problems that need remediation because they're not working in the trenches.
The solution, which is nearly impossible to implement, is to make everyone involved step their game up. Hire real, full time employees who are committed to the agencies' or companies' missions at a level slightly above "I can keep my job." Make sure everyone is trained and double-check work.
That's the kind of security work I'm doing for government IT.

Tax laws are in favor of those that can pay off the politicians the most. All taxes are regressive.
Corporations are doing a fine in paying less in regressive taxes. Why not join them?

36 pages defining income compared to the tax code that is how long?
Last I heard it was 6,500+ pages. Strip out all the exemptions, sweetheart deals and corporate giveaways, the actual tax code is ~125 pages.
Sure, but not reporting is morally questionable.
The incident was reported security, the computers were confiscated, video taped statements were taken, and the employee terminated from employment. The corporation is obligated to report the incident to police and make evidence available for one year. I had no moral obligation to pursue this matter further.

but lack of support for a smooth upgrade path was a major pain in the ass and it was easier just to rewrite the whole things from scratch

I filed my taxes through H&R block and informed 30 minutes that the IRS accepted my return earlier this week.
Require tax returns to be filed electronically and digitally sign them using the private key of individuals.
If you file your return electronically, you need to provide last year's adjusted gross income number, your own PIN or get a filing PIN.

Gold star for you, special snowflake!
That only works for grades one to three.
I trust and am hoping that you're not one of those folks.
I'm a firm believer that you need a personal corporation for the tax advantages and writing unlimited checks to political candidates.
so even if they were taxed at 100% of income, the US government would not see a dime of it.
Unless you're an American citizen working in Russia. You still have to file a tax return and pay taxes for your worldwide income to the IRS.
