CORPORATE "PATRIOTISM" ??

We "Should" Have It!!

Our Secretary of the Treasury, Jack Lew, on the "Telley" this morning, made the statement, ("we should have it") this morning, with some exasperation in his voice.

Readers of this Blog may remember an earlier issue dealing with this problem; perhaps a year or more ago.  When, I was a young Major in the Air Force, I wrote a paper for my Air Command and Staff Training, dealing with Congressional Legislation that enabled our current Multinational Corporations.  I noted that the legislation enabled them to avoid taxation!  I didn't think it was fair for those of us in Uniform to fight and die to preserve the strength and integrity of this nation; while the Corporations were not expected to do their part.  All of my life, up to that point, I, along with most of my fellow citizens felt that EVERYONE had the duty to pay their fair share of taxes.  Somehow, this all changed around 1970, when Congress wrote the Multinational Corporation legislation.

Corporate excess and abuse has grown steadily over those years, in terms of wrecking our economy, polluting our environment (not just the poor and minority citizens -- for EVERYBODY!).  Now, they're lining up, in droves,  to flee the country with their Corporate Headquarters (Cramer calls these places "maildrops" in places like Ireland); ALL TO AVOID PROVIDING THIS COUNTRY THE TAX REVENUES it needs to prevent becoming a Third World Nation!  I saw what that's like when I visited Indonesia and Mexico.  This ain't funny, Folks!!  Their War Costs, coupled with their unprecedented domestic Tax Cuts have already collapsed our Capital Economy!

This corporate move is coming when those "Crackers" who have a choke hold on the House of Representatives, and despise our President, are strong enough to keep the Congress from doing anything to "fix" the problem.  Ah! for the days, when Corporate America actually worried about Sherman Anti-Trust Laws!!

Stay Vigilant!  I think they are pushing the voters in the direction of the Pitchforks!!  They've rigged the voting in most of the country to a point where they think their jobs are "safe".  If you're paying attention;  in Kansas, of all places, REPUBLICANS are turning against Repoobs, in their Governors Chair and Legislature.
