"Fix the Debt" CEOs Enjoy Taxpayer-Subsidized Pay - IPS

A new report by IPS and Campaign for America's Future shows that America’s top CEOs are pocketing massive taxpayer subsidies at the same time they’re pushing austerity cutbacks in government programs that benefit ordinary citizens

Thanks to a “performance pay” tax loophole, large corporations in the United States today are routinely deducting enormous executive payouts from their income taxes. In effect, these companies are exploiting the U.S. tax code to send taxpayers the bill for the huge rewards they’re doling out to their top executives.

Now this is the type of wealth redistribution that gets a stamp of approval

*hard sarcasm*

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

This is the type of crony capitalism the Republicans and Democrats have been guilty of for years. You all point the finger at each other over who favors the rich on the backs of the middle class, but the fact of the matter is it's both of you.

 

[Dot Com]

Murdoch/Fox/GOP TV will be all over this right?

Funny.. I am against government giving assistance, entitlements, bailouts, etc to anyone or any company...

But you might want to avoid the conclusions by winger sources "As Washington’s first progressive multi-issue think tank..."... that is the first line about this IPS.. self admittedly in a bias position.. and not to be taken completely seriously

Problem solved.

They are a self admitted bias organization... a 'progressive think tank'... that makes their conclusions as suspect as say Ted Nugent or other right wing sites that you and your ilk wish to complain about...

Hey... why not take NORML's word on drugs.. or a birfer group's word on Obama... or Loose Change's word on 9-11??

No they are a progressive think tank that you call "bias" with nothing more than the use of the word "progressive"

Never happen, because the criminal politicians in Wall Street, DC get their kickbacks at campaign donation time. But it's a riot to watch sheep worship at the alter of their wealth-gods who bone them up the ass.

Sounds like you support the idea of a flat tax rate with no loopholes for anyone. Excellent!

Or its it "Loopholes for me but not for thee"?

Plus they get promises of future employment (if you want to call having your name on a letterhead "employment")

Yea, the Dick Cheney gravy train is a model example. Speaking engagements for 50K a pop for some of these lames. Who the fuck would shell out that kind of money to hear a goddamned liar speak?

Complete and total bullshit. This is just another attempt by libturds to redefine words.

IPS used to be a Soviet front operation. I don't know how you can get more anti-capitalist than that.

Although I do not applaud anyone for exploiting a loophole, I will simply say it’s not their fault – it’s ours.

Why’s that?

Because it's US who are electing these lawmakers. All we have to do is get off our lazy collective asses, pay attention, and vote in genuine individuals who will fight for the whole vs fighting for just the guys with money. It's common sense that if we allow corrupted politicians to run Washington, we'll end up with corrupt laws.

Our fault.
