In the US, why do we have corporate taxes instead of making everything income tax? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Profit. Revenue minus expenses. There are some things you wouldn’t expect, like inventory doesn't count as an expense until you sell them. So frequently profit is actually higher than money in the bank and a lot higher than what owners get paid.

Citizens United was about corporations getting rights of people, not them paying taxes as people. I’m suggesting they should because individual tax rate is higher than corporate.

I'm 16 years in and this describes me and my wife. I really struggle being around people who complain about their spouse. I just don't relate, lol. Yeah she annoy me some times but I would take being a little annoyed than being alone. I also love to hear about people who love their spouses. My best friend only ever says positive things about his wife and it makes it enjoyable comparing spouses.

Looking for instances but I appreciate the recommendations.

Worst case is I just follow a lot of positive communities.

Positive and Good News Only Instance (lemm.ee)
 

Does anyone know of any instances on Lemmy or Mastadon that focus only on positive news?

I’m trying to reduce social media usage in general but when I do use it I would prefer to be able to explore uplifting things only.

I know I can block negative stuff but I also like going an exploring communities I’m not interested in subscribing. It would be great to have a local feed that’s better for mental health.
