Though the books do mention exchanging muggle money for wizard money at Gringotts.

They are not a money-less society.

I remember hearing that Rowling addressed the tuition issue in a Q&A. I don’t particularly recall what the setup was supposed to be, so I can’t say much more than that.

And then, of course, there is the issue of how canonical you can take things that didn’t actually appear in the work. Though the Potter fandom does seem to take most of what Rowling says as canon.

Because, while the minimum wage theoretically prevents employers from paying their employees less than they could live off of, a maximum wage would be completely arbitrary?

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I damn near broke out into applause after reading that.

Unfortunately, tea baggers are too dense to ever learn anything from a reasoned post like that.

Or a cake with a stripper inside who lactates beer.

Sadly, although the facts are spot on, the Tea Party will scream about the fact that they used profanity and point to how hostile the libruls are.  Meaning that all of the truefax will be lost in the bawww'ing

That said, companies may be entitled to a tax refund if they over pay their proper tax rates. It's the deductions and subsidies we should be more concerned with. The less legitimate ways they have of securing larger refunds.

Agreed.  People tend to forget that, much in the same way you pay your taxes with each paycheck, corporations pay out taxes on a monthly or quarterly basis.  The overall taxes paid vs taxes owed are then "trued up" at the end of the fiscal (the same way as the average citizen filing for a return/paying additional taxes).  Most companies end up overpaying due to slow/hig periods and thus get money back.

I may have to steal that rant the next time I get into an argument about welfare.
