Should we be shocked??/ I have often wondered why so many rwer's walk around with their mouth gaped, ready to service the rich and powerful yet again...

 

[Siete]

Big shots like the Koch Bros. literally OWN RW's ...

They do nothing for the RW and the RW would die for them ... go figure

 

[whitehall]

What alternate universe do radical lefties live in? The assumption is that all money belongs to the government and they only let us use it for a little while if we behave and vote for democrats. Corporations are generally smarter than the liberal politicians who try to skim money from them. There are tax lawyers who make politicians like Barry Hussein, who never made a real dollar that wasn't paid by taxpayers, look like school kids. Of course corporations take advantage of every stupid loophole the a-holes furnish. Who wouldn't?

Go to that website, Subsidy Tracker, and dial in a company. It's quite amazing. I had heard that the Koch LIARS had taken tens of millions in federal subsidies but wanted to find out the hard data.

They are really Koch suckers, aren't they? Funding the Tea Baggers as pretense for smaller government and a cover up for their corporate welfare.

My oh my, where are the usual idiots to defend them on this thread?

Sorry, toots. Your rhetoric sounds like locusts chirping to my ears.

"...Barry Hussein, who never made a real dollar that wasn't paid by taxpayers"

Oh and by the way, remember that Paul Ryan has been a Congressman since he was 29 years old. Before that he drove a Weinerschniztel hotdog car. Look it up.

The Koch brothers do more to stimulate the economy than dumb political drones like Barry Hussein, who never had a real job, ever thought about doing. They have a network of tax lawyers who would put A.G. Holder's "justice dept" to shame. Get used to it lefties. The corporate world can run circles around the Obama administration but it wouldn't have to be that way if the democrat party wasn't sinking into the morass of socialism.

Then shouldn't we equal the playing field?

-Raise minimum wage to $23.50/hr. Based on where minimum wage should be using 1970-2013 rise in food, shelter, and transportation.

-Eliminate all business subsidies (deductions/write-off’s/write-downs) except for employee expenses which are deducted dollar-for-dollar on all city, state, and Federal taxes and fees with the Feds refunding city, State, and fees.

-Companies with 300 employees or less, employee expenses above the deduction are subsidized at 100% with funds usually give back to the States.

-Adjust Social Security and private/public retirement and pension payments using 1970-2013 price structure. Remove the FICA limit.

-Back down ALL costs, prices, fees, to January 1, 2009 levels and hold them for 10 years which will eliminate inflation.

-Recall ALL off-shore investments tax free, and disallow any further off-shore investments.

-Make inversion illegal.

What exactly is anyone calling a subsidy? The website is obviously a biased leftist piece of shit that the low information lefties fall for.
I'll bet NoPeePee gets subsidies all the time. Maybe we should revoke her free birth control?

Visit the website and you'll discover that, as usual, NoTeaPatsy is talking out his ass.

In finance, a subsidy is any financial aid given directly or in directly by the Government.

Direct: A check

In-direct: A deduction.

Do a little research on the Brothers, including the third Koch Brother. They are a VERY scarey bunch.

Yes, allowing someone to keep more of the money they earned is now called a subsidy. Liberal logic at work.

So you support corporate welfare. And then you quickly start to babble about Holder and Obama.

YOu fucking idiots cannot and will never address direct facts in your face. You just want to rationalize.

Hope you invested heavily in Vaseline.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Then the poor Koch brothers and Waltons would only be worth $35B and $75B respectively....I feel their pain.

And I have only one. Can you just imagine how many the Kochs buy?

No, you can't. You'd have to be able to think first.

Corporations are people. Actual people on the other hand.... fuck em.

The issue as about corporations taking advantage of government programs. The "playing field " is equal when conservative philanthropists abide by existing laws and have an opportunity to glean the same tax advantages as socialist favorites of the administration. Whether or not small companies should have subsidize idiots who have no skills other than flipping a burger is another matter. .
