I'm pretty sure, a "person" can only donate up to $5000 to a PAC. Problem solved!
Salvysahagun Says:
hmm, These guys must not understand how global economics work.

Look for "The Truth About Robert Reich "
norvman Says:
Corporations are Communistic... simple as that... so why do Conservatives support them?
Chan5553 Says:
Boehner's more of a threat to america than any terroist. He a cancer on our country. Trying to destroy the country i love form the inside.

NO ONE HEARS YOU OBAMA .... BECAUSE YOU DO NOT TALK LOUD ENOUGH!
UniversalMeme Says:
Calling the non taxation of overseas profits a subsidy is dishonest. Corporations don't have to pay taxes on profits made overseas, unless the profits are brought back home. The reason overseas profits aren't taxed is because taxing these operations would put them at a disadvantage against native and other foreign non-taxed companies . If the tax had to be paid, Americans who work for the company on American soil, but support the overseas operations would probably lose their jobs.

Who said going near 100% tax cut? i said "....% tax cut,", obvously, it would take into consider how many people they hire and how many are "in country" and so on and so forth to what they make a year etc.
SchinTeth Says:
this method would make it technically possible to get 100% tax cut. I am not that great in math but attaching % to fixed numbers seems to be the wrong solution
satarnag Says:
@407buddy No problem. It mentions how the Federal Reserve was created and the purpose of the CFR.
satarnag Says:
This video is absolutely correct. We should end government support for both the corporations and the entitlement programs.
satarnag Says:
@407buddy The book that opened up my eyes to this was one called "None dare call it a conspiracy". How the wealthy few are controlling our government to create a world government which they will eventually control.

Greed is a motherfucker! GOP doesn't see what is going on. They have no concept of what will happen if they suck big bussiness cock. Gop are the hoes of Corporations.
elmajfudd Says:
Why don't we vote regular folks that understand the small guy instead of these rich morons who really don't understand real working people. why is being a congressman means you have to be a millionaire? too be one?
coolerow Says:
EASY, because the politicians DO NOT get money from the corporations that way. You think the politicians are voting bills for the people? No, theyre voting for the companies that pay them more. Having a way to STOP the flow of corporate money to politicians will stop that indefintely. Campaign Finance Reform will help in doing this.
dangerouslytalented Says:
actually, correct German pronounciation is in between what Cenk said and "bike"
PhilJRose Says:
Shouldn't Reich rhyme with bike?
Mestilf22 Says:
They tried, Republicans blocked it.
jo05dk Says:
Nice guy, and completely right. before anything else corrupt politicians must become a thing of the past. To bad it's the corrupt politicians that need to vote on such a law..
moestietabarnak Says:
that quite naive, they already pay not very much in taxes. In otehr way, It`s like telling the robber, we`ll pay you $1000 for every bank you won't rob.. but currently it's "oh, you rob a bank!, nice, here a $1000 more for a good job at doing it with only costing the guard's job!"
rajasmasala Says:
job tax credits. The republicans claim to want to reduce deficit but then why did they keep rich tax cuts and not take up this option which several economists were advocating?
jxsilicon9 Says:
And who will do this?
LouieArrighi Says:
Oh, you're so clever. Protectionism DOES work, and there needs to be discussion on what this country was founded on back from Alexander Hamilton. the Smoot Hawley Act was f---ked up because it wasn't implemented correctly, and also is overblown by the Mises /libertarians and bankers.
snofthndr Says:
Why couldn't the president do that when the republicans oppose him?
