There is, and always will be a difference between spending money on lobbying, and actually voting, though. Don't get me wrong, I'm disgusted by the amount of money corporations put towards lobbying (it goes back to what I said before, they are doing what will ultimately make their bottom line the best). The tax code will never be simplified to a point where all corporations are taxed fairly, however, unless corporate taxes are gotten rid of all together. Also, regarding the selling to a holding company and then to other people...my understanding is Apple only does that with foreign sales, and it has absolutely nothing to do with US sales. Is it wrong that they are reducing their foreign taxes to near 0? Sure, but that doesn't justify us taxing foreign income. That justifies the other countries changing their policies so this can't take place and the income gets taxed where it is earned (where the sale takes place). |
Which mostly comes at the expends of the average citizen.
The U.S is operating at a deficit right now...
so where do you think this money will come from if these companies dont pay taxes or recieve a tax cut?
there have been several cuts to SS and medic care and other social programs in recent years. Some one has to pay for all these cuts in other for things to keep running and that some one is always the masses. Lobbing in Washington is very heavy and it has come to the point that politicals now spend half their time fundraising rather than working for the people because they need to raise enough money to win the next election so they can reamin in office. This is were corporate lobbists come in. Easy "legal bribes"
