First off, I can't claim credit for that question. As she frequently does, Randi Rhodes, gave me the topic, as she was explaining it to a caller on her radio show today. So, sincere Hat Tip to Ms Rhodes!
As she explained it Tax Policy is the "Coin of the Realm".
Tax Policy is what Lobbyists go to DC for.
Tax Policy is where the action Is ... It determines whether or not America gets back to work ...
Whether or not Corporations REINVEST their Profits back into the business;
Whether or not Corporations REHIRE workers, here or abroad;
Whether or not Corporations save a bundle on Taxes -- simply by paying a BUNDLE to their CEO's ...
Whether or Not those CEO's just drove the Company into a ditch, or broke it up for parts, and just shipped it overseas. ... along with those once-American Jobs.
It hasn't always been this way.
Used to be for Corporations to get their Tax Breaks -- they HAD TOReinvest in America.
Tax Policy made it so. Back in the day, when the America Dream was a still more reality, than Myth.
