Thirty companies paid no income tax 2008-2010: report - Yahoo! News
And you wonder people are occupying Wall Street.
If Bass 2.0 (or any future release version of Bass X.Y) ever came back to DISCUSS this thread --- I'd have to ask if they were aware that GE (and every other American appliance company) gets $150 in tax credit for EVERY washer/dryer sold. So who's fault is that?
It's a stinkin' GREEN credit just like the $$MILLIONS$$ they pull in catering to the ObamaLama "greenjobs" scam. Who do you think MAKES turbines for wind, and installs pollution control equipment -- GreenPeace???
So it's hard to FIX this problem unless you look at THOUSANDS of special favors that have been cut to perturb free market fairness. EACH subsidy has it's OWN story. And Congress is busy EXPANDING it's influence on American Big Business.. Leaving American Little Business to flounder around trying to survive when their huge competitors are GOVT tit-nursed.
Oh -- you can whine about the tax RATES --- but that would fix exactly NOTHING. So this leftist 'dump and run' is kinda meaningless unless you want to spend a LARGE amount of time trying to interpret the damage that Congress has done over the last 20 years or so...
