Wow, I cant believe you actually believe that. These companies are taking everything they will have to pay over the next few years and lumping it together to make it look like they are getting screwed over.

Take Caterpillar for example, they claim the amount of the tax on that government subsidiary is going to cost them $100M a quarter this year. But they only get about $500M a year from that subsidiary. So the tax is 80%? I don't think so. They are just taking every year in which they will have to pay this tax and combining it to make it look astronomical. Its a BS accounting tactic and the government isn't falling for it.


yeah the govment knows all right? lol

So would you rather the government be bullied by these corporations so they get it their way? 


I think it's the other way around.

Well they arent being bullied around,  they are being asked to show why this is going to cost them all this money.  But thats not what I asked.   I saked if you would rather have these companies bully around the government?  Way to skirt around the questions though

Companies can not bully the government. They have no means to do so. The best they can do is by off corrupt government officials. 

And If anyone should be bulling anyone, the American people should be bulling the Government. They work for us. Doesn't seem to be working that way now does it?
