Banks pay corporate income taxes. Credit unions don't.

That is my only complaint about credit unions. They should pay taxes just like banks do.

Or, banks should not have to pay taxes. That would work, too....

why? they are not for profit. The profits are sort of like they are taxed since they are returned to the members in the form of lower rates and higher dividends.
