After all, they were created in the U.S.A., rose to immense profit because of the toil of American workers, are bailed out by American taxpayers whenever they’re in trouble, and are safeguarded abroad by the U.S. military. Yet these corporate goliaths work their tax lawyers overtime to escape U.S. taxes. Many pay less than you do in federal income taxes. Imagine corporations, like General Electric, have not paid federal income taxes on U.S. profits for years. Mega corporations have abandoned U.S. workers by entrenching “pull-down” trade agreements that mak…http://www.twitpic.com/csbfye

It is one more right-wing victimization fable, repeated endlessly until the public has no choice except to believe it.” RELATED VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=aqK_WxvB_xEhttp://www.twitpic.com/csb0b7
