CSpan 3 is "investigating" shifting corporate corporate profits offshore

I know it's not realistic to think that we could ever get to the point where people would pay the taxes they are supposed to pay, but that would solve our budget problems and nobody would go hungry. The middle class would have more money to spend and we would buy things from the big companies who make them. We would all save money because we would be driving on better roads, not tearing our cars apart, children will be getting a better education and not have to move in with their parents wh ...

You might have heard this: BP is so well connected in Washington that even after being cited for 760 different safety and environmental violations, the company still got environmental waivers for the Deepwater Horizon rig that's now destroying the Gulf.1 But BP's not alone in using its DC influence. Check out the list below of other companies' outrages—then pass it along. And be sure to sign our new Fight Washington Corruption Pledge to support 3 key measure ...

now a corporate president, either repub or democ? Ayn Rand would be very happy... I once had an Indian doctor (whom I admired very much) tell me people from other countries before coming here read "Atlas Shrugged" and Ayn Rand's books. This is their view of our country. I read the book and was sickened at the ruthlessness and worship of money as a god... kind of like, well, now. ...

I am about to leave the MT world (please, Lord, soon--I cannot stand seeing NJA all day, and my budget is sunk) and am applying for a job with some law firms. One of them is a really corporate kind of thing. I have always been more of a casual gal, but casual would not cut it with this firm. I am not fat, not skinny, just average build, average looks. Not a show-stopper, not ugly, either. Just an average woman you wouldn't look at twice. If you needed to present a good corporate imag ...

A common complaint in today’s world is one of disconnection. Our industrialized world has resulted in less contact with community — we don’t know our neighbors or who grows our food. In the same way that we’ve lost touch with a deeper sense of belonging and place, many of us have become disconnected from the soul of our work. The corporation-worker structure today is a master-servant relationship. We’re slaves to the company, working longer hours for less wage ...

Government only gets 10% of its revenue from corporations now-- in 1950s it was about 30%, in 1960s it was down to 25%. See link ...

Republican candidates are unionizing against the RNC. Is the media next? Republican party imploding all over the place. The other day I was shocked when Paul Ryan admitted the House was broken. I guess the first step is to hit bottom and confront denial. ...

Make sure you read everything so you will understand. I expect to get flamed for this, but I really don't care. Enjoy! #MAGA ...

Even the New Republic called the Democratic National Convention 'one big corporate bribe,’ as Trump-phobic donors threw in big money. Corporate interests and influences have gained a great deal of ground in the Democratic Party under Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. For example, Clinton’s 2008 campaign co-chair, former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz rescinded a DNC ban enacted by Barack Obama in 2008 on donations from lobbyists and SuperPACS. The dec ...

The WH has graciously placed some charts on this website: Table 2.2 has the receipts from individual and corporate taxes paid from 1934 to present. There are plenty of other graphs if you want to spend the time. ...

There was some debate below about whether America's biggest bankers supported Republicans or Democrats, so I looked it up myself. The link below is the "Top Organization Contributor" list from the site "opensecrets.org". It is a bipartisan organization that was founded in 1983 by U.S. Sens. Frank Church (D-Idaho) and Hugh Scott (R-Pa.) and publishes its work tracking money in politics in extensive reports; at first via books, now via the internet. I cannot guarantee its legitimacy, ...

During negotiations regarding raising the nation’s debt limit, congressional Republicans have defended tax loopholes for corporations, claiming that America has a high corporate tax rate that is stifling economic growth and job creation. But the Center for Tax Justice (CTJ) has crunched the most recent data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Office of Management and Budget, and the Census Bureau, and finds that “the U.S. is already ...

Well, back to square 1. Wonder how many judges are in the pockets of corporations? Supreme Court rejects limits on corporate spending in electoral campaigns Video High court rolls back campaign spending limits The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that corporations may spend as freely as they like to support or oppose candidates for president and Congress, easing decades-old limits on business efforts to influence federal campaigns. » LAUNCH VIDEO PLAYER ...

This isn't quite political but I know I can get answers here. Their slogan is "strengthening democracy by limiting corporate interference in national and international policy-making so that ordinary people can hold corporations accountable for their actions......' I just heard this on TV and decided to look them up. They want to retire Ronald McDonald because he "promotes unhealthy kids." She showed up at the shareholder meeting and spoke against Ronald McDonald. When do ...

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi is holding a press conference on CSpan2. My only choice is CSpan3 on the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on the funal meningitis outbreak and new strong FDA legislation so this doesn't happen again. I won't watch Nancy you-have-to-pass-it-so-we-can-see-what's-in-it Pelosi because every time I see her speak, she's forever moving her hands. I just want to jump through the screen and tie her hands behind her back or down at her side. Would she be ab ...

Caught part of it. Talked about fiscal cliff. Defending poor. Bailouts. Petraeus/Allen. Syria/Israel. Probably will show up on regular CSPan later today or tomorrow. ...

They questioned Michael Horowitz, the IG. He seemed very honest and straight forward. Lucky him, though....every email he asked for from Holder, he received. Now they are having a hearing on Hate crimesand Domestic Extremism. I was looking at the definition of hate speech and/or hate crimes earlier today. I'm not sure, but I think, if the Justice Dept. would get off their duff, that they could arrest those responsible for the film that helped create the riots. ...

If Congress wants to pass bills/laws, WHY DO THEY WASTE HALF THE DAY IN GENERAL SPEECHES? Senate Democrats are complaining about bills in the House that have not been voted on and the House is complaining about the Senate sitting on bills passed by them. As of today, there are now 40 jobs bills sitting in the Senate not voted on and today is the last day in session until after the election. I think the House has already left to go home. Harry Reid is blocking votes as they are rehas ...

Deal emerging...It just says that as a 1-sentence news alert on the Senate C-SPAN. Wonder what the amount is going to be, who gave up, what is being dropped, what is being added, etc. I'm hoping the tax rates will be the highest number so it doesn't hurt the small businesses. ...

One of the debaters (can't remember his name but a pub) asked BARBARA SLAUGHTER if he could have 15 SECONDS to finish his sentence when his time ran out. She refused vehemently! She was also very nasty to someone else last week. Another pub wanted to introduce a bill and the grumblings started again from members. The gavel had to be wielded again to quiet the house. Sheila Jackson Lee stated "Since this bill was passed, lives HAVE BEEN SAVED". How? Nothing has gone into effect y ...

As Hillary Clinton was celebrating her party’s nomination Tuesday evening, the IRS quietly announced that it would begin an investigation in to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, according to the Daily Caller.

I tried writing down what he said (wish I still knew my shorthand), but could only get a few items. My curiosity aroused, I started to do a little research. Bernie stated in a 10 year period, the oil and gas companies posted a combined profit of $750 Billion. The entire industry only invested $1.5 billion in non-fossil fuel products. He also gave ALL the compensation packages for the CEOs, which I could not write fast enough, but will find them, but Occidential Petroleum's CEO received $75 ...

I forget which newspaper asked him how many applications did FEMA receive and how much money was paid out so far. His answer was: At 11 a.m., FEMA received 85,072 requests for applications and paid out $18,815,347.63 in subsidies towards housing including rental help. ...
