This is total bullshit. Corporations do not have ANY rights, let alone SPECIAL RIGHTS. They do take advantage of the laws the way they are written, but anybody can do this ...INCLUDING YOU. JUST BECAUSE YOU DO NOT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE CORPORATION

"Gas prices are high due to market forces, not taxes. Even you must know that. And tax on gas and diesel generally goes towards the upkeep and construction of roads and bridges. Since you're buying a lot of gas/diesel, I'm pretty sure you're using these roads. If you're not, you can get the taxes back at the end of the year. My dad does this."
Never heard of this one, but if you could provide some specifics, I would be willing to listen. He may be able to deduct fuel costs from income, but I seriously doubt he gets a refund of gas taxes.

"If you own a business, you can write off just about everything as far as expenses, so I find that hard to believe. "
Taxes are on profit after expenses are deducted, so higher taxes come right out of your back pocket. Expenses are money spent to run the business.(other that depreciation).

I cannot believe people can go through 4 years of college and not be taught the most basic of economic facts.
