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?
|
Well unfortunately to bully anything we would have to have a common cause, but we will never have that because people either dont care or have their own separate agendas. And with the BS that comes from the news and the politicians, no one knows what to believe either.
As for the companies, you are right, they cant bully them. But they can buy candidates that dont pander to their needs, and that will start happening now after that one bill got passed awhile back where companies can now openly give funds to candidates and give as much as they want.
