Out of Business

Some things actually do come around as they ought to. The accumulating evidence that the tax code has been eating its own tail has been capped by release of the Mitt Romney, Inc., tax filing.
By not working, the corporate candidate saves quite a lot of money. Paying 13%+ on earnings will most definitely disincentivise actual work for which the earner pays at a 30%+ rate.
Those displaced workers who the Bain on society, Romney, Inc., booted into unemployment would have benefited the U.S. far more than the candidate does. Had they been earning salaries paying that 30%+, our social services such as schools, police, infrastructure, and the like, would have been receiving support rather than cutbacks.
Corporations that receive benefits from tax codes that favor off-sourcing jobs pay less into our needed funds for actual U.S. well being. The workers would have been paying into those needed funds with their taxes, creating a double loss.
The math is simple and obvious. Tax codes that favor loss of tax monies are destroying the very system they should be building up.
Welfare for corporations is being paid for by those who they victimize. Using their profits to lobby against those they depend on for those profits is insane economically as well as ethically.
Welfare for corporations has been turned against the very profit base those corporations depend on. Corporations are not people, they are incapable of thought, or they would have done the math themselves.
Corporations need analysis and treatment, and removal from the welfare system they have created which works to destroy the people – the people that they are absolutely not.

Exactly!
Those unpatriotic buzzards have to come clean and own up to being the largest welfare queens on earth. They need to wrap their heads around not having “entitlements” at tax payers expense any longer.
Oh, they should not be afraid of good old fashioned work and the ethics that come with sweat and the equity that brings.
Are there any other buzz words I left out in flipping the page to point out the obvious? We have to name call back because civility does not work and being content to laugh at them doesn’t either.
Driving up to the welfare office in the Lexus maybe. That image of being no-good and shiftless works really well watching Rmoney squirm when he’s confronted about his tax havens, doesn’t it?
This will gall you
Gack. Demotivation in process, don’t want to dirty up that money with paying for schools and the like.
Recommended Ruth great dairy. Occupy everything!
“Those unpatriotic buzzards have to come clean and own up to being the largest welfare queens on earth.”
That will never happen. What we are seeing is a 30 year plan that is finishing it’s work of the 99%. Fascism has always been below the surface ready to rear it’s ugly head again. It is almost complete. Occupy everything!
Thanks, agree, Occupy is getting people together who were just stewing before without some way to express themselves and act. Thanks for your work with them.
I am a afraid the hurt must go a little deeper to get the American population off the couch and put away their electronic toys and get involved. Otherwise I think the PTB will just flick us off into the ethric. (That is an old southern term meaning into oblivion). :)
Great title – a delicious twist!
BTW, I used to be a member of the wallpaper paste party, but now I love oatmeal.
Thanks. It is that wonderful to see the real welfare cheats show their true colors.
Right on Ruth.
Speaking of corporate welfare, I think we should demand repayment (retroactive) of all the taxpayer money (welfare) that has been forked over to corporations like Exxon and GE who, although they made billions in profit, didn’t pay a cent of US Federal income tax. Honestly, I wonder how many billions of dollars that would be. It is beyond absurd that we vote for legislators who pass laws that fork over tax rebates to corporations who don’t even PAY taxes. Rebate–my foot. Perhaps our elected officials need to learn the definition of ‘rebate’.
A rebate is a partial refund to someone who has paid too much money for tax, rent, or a utility.
At what point in time did Exxon, for example “pay too much money” to anyone (except of course to Rex Tillerson)
You got it. My ‘representative’ Ralph Hall has been bought by Big Oil to give them the tax breaks and special loopholes that make it possible to steal from us, and he and his relatives are well taken care of in return for their role as accessory to theft.
We should also take back ALL welfare and return it to those who paid the taxes.
I doubt if anyone would want to take back actual social services, like earned income tax credit for children’s needs, to those who actually need them. Of course, the wingnuts like to call unemployment assistance and the like, that the recipients worked and paid for, welfare, along with social security. So that’s a broad statement I don’t see as desirable at all.
