What distinction do you see between middle class union workers and "the workers who actually contribute?"You Have More Money in Your Wallet Than Bank of America Pays in Federal Taxes:
"But it wasnt teachers, fire fighters, policemen, and college students that caused the economic recession that has devastated government budgets it was Wall Street.
"And as middle class workers are being asked to sacrifice, the rich continue to rig the system, dodging taxes and avoiding paying their fair share.
"In an interview with In These Times, Carl Gibson, the founder of US Uncut, which is organizing some of todays UK-inspired massive demonstrations against tax dodgers, explains that while ordinary Americans are being asked to sacrifice, major corporations continue to use the rigged tax code to avoid paying any federal taxes at all.
"As he says, if you have 'one dollar' in your wallet, youre paying more than the 'combined income tax liability of GE, ExxonMobil, Citibank, and the Bank of America'

Middle class union workers are are being asked to sacrifice not the workers who actually contribute. And those corporations are pushed over seas because the unions made it to expensive to do business here. And the tax code is rigged. Its rigged for food stamp collectors and welfare cases. And I love Exxon Mobile. I have made crazy money working at one of there facility's
Were either group responsible for an $8 trillion housing bubble collapse?
It's more likely the collapse of the Bretton Woods monetary system pushed US corporations overseas since capital will always seek the lowest wage labor available.
If the tax code here is rigged for food stamp collectors, explain how the richest 1% of Americans have doubled their share of national income and wealth over the last thirty-plus years.
Sounds like you and Exxon Mobile are a match made on Wall Street. Now tell us why both of you shouldn't have to pay US taxes?
