Pfizer Aiming for 30,900 Layoffs Through 2012

As was previously referenced, this was posted over 3 years ago! Before we storm HQ, jump off a bridge, eat a bullet, or live in fear, at least make sure we have some current, relevant info to go by! Is it at all possible that the info used to write an article over 3 years ago may have changed slightly??

Get back to work idiots, and enjoy that better than average pay and benefits!

 

If your not able to categorize the levels of the wealthy and what percentage of their taxes are paid against what the middle class pays, you really don't have a clear understanding of who actually pays what tax rate. The moderate and upper wealthy (like Buffet) receive their income in the form of capital gains and only pay a 15% tax rate. Where have you been as Buffet has repeatedly discussed he pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. Also, seen with Mitt Romney's tax returns. The general breakdown is earnings greater than 3 million, the execs. usually get paid the majority of their earnings that enable them a tax rate that is significantly lower as capital gains percentage. Salaries lower than 3 million are usually taxed at the normal tax rate which will now be 39%. So, the middle to upper wealthy take advantage of the tax loop holes and pay a low 15% tax rate, where the upper middle class (400,000 to approx. 3 million wage earners) bear the brunt of the taxe percentage paid. It is not so cut and dried as you stated.

 

First he paid 17% on the tax return that was released to the public, and second he won't need to find another country to hide in because he will just continue to take advantage of the same tax loop holes as Buffet and pay tax based on capital gains. You really don't understand how the rich pay so little in taxes do you?

 

If you were unionized president Obama would bail you all out at the tax payers expense. You would all have pay increases, free healthcare, increases in bonuses etc. However, your drugs will still suck, they will continue to go generic, you will continue to buy companies, break them up and look for the next sitting duck to acquire. Your reps will continue to bitch and moan on here about how they are treated. GROW UP! this isn't the first time in history where the "fat cats" lined their pockets at others expense. This company is full of complete losers!!!!!!

 

i know! isn't it great! Big "loser" here (as you put it), getting paid at least 80K more than most of the idiots I know that are busting their butt selling cars, copy machines, or whatever else.
