But all I
hear is whining about taxes. "Don't tax the rich!"
Every day
at rush hour, I see people in their 20s and 30s, hurrying home from work, and I
ask myself: "Do they really care about taxing the rich?"
Ninety-nine
percent of them would say it was a good idea. That's why its a winning argument
for President Obama and a losing argument for the Republicans, who are just
beating a dead horse.
What these
young people who are busting their behinds might care about are all the
corporations who pay low or no taxes, because these companies supported Obama
and got tax loopholes in return.
General
Electric is one of those corporations that backed Obama, and they're busy
outsourcing American jobs to China.
Microsoft
has done the same thing. They both pay little to no taxes on billions of
dollars in profits, because now, thanks to outsourcing, these earnings are
earned off shore.
GE has over
a thousand former IRS employees working for them, to keep their taxes down.
Dozens of
companies do the same thing.
Why doesn't
the GOP talk about closing these loopholes? Obviously, because both parties get
support from corporations.
Journalists
never talk about this either. I'm the only one.
