And people why the US is going down the hole with a tax system that actually PAYS its biggest corporation 3.2 billion dollars a year despite having 14.2 billion in profits.
This is ludicrous. Our tax system is so damn corrupt it's sickening. There should be an absolute drop-dead minimum tax that corporations pay. Who's bringing that idea to the Senate floor???
But ya' know what? No matter how much tax we make corporations pay, Congress will still spend us down the river. That's how I look at it now. If taxes are increased, it's not like we're going to pay down our debt...we'll just keep on keepin' on. 'Til we're broke. Well, broker.
