Hmm, wonder if the "Highest Corporate Tax Rates in the World" have anything to do with companys moving their business out of the country !
There's no way anyone, including you, would want to run a business in the U.S. with Big brother and Unions breathing down their neck !
I'm sorry, but I had to chime in here......
The "Citizens United" decision changed everything.
Just look at the last election. Big Corporations threw money out the window trying to get "their" candidates elected. It was enough money to pay their yearly tax bill and then some.....This bogus decision said that corporations and Unions can donate unlimited amounts of money, but we saw that the Unions money wasn't long enough. The corporations had a field day. But I don't want to get off track here...... It's got nothing to do with D or R politics - this was just a bad decision from a "activist" Supreme Court.
If big corporations are now considered "people" too; please.....PLEASE pay your taxes like us regular people do, instead of outsourcing and offshoring. (ie: Haliburton) We have to pay ours, now pay yours! People complain about the tax rate, but some corporations pay little tax or PILOT (Payments In Lieu Of Taxes) or no payments at all.
You are considered "people" now, so do what we do. PAY UP!
(And before someone defends the big corporations that don't pay or have their corporate offices offshore, explain to me why they won't pay?)
You get the benifits of the greatest country in the world, but don't want to help when it is in it's worst hour............
Sorry for the rant.
