life: But No One Cares

Corporate tax cheats are bankrupting America.
Thanks to foreign tax havens and other loopholes, many of America's largest corporations pay ZERO taxes. Many others pay effective tax rates of less than 10% (even though the actual corporate tax rate is 35%).

If these tax cheats paid their fair share...

GE-$5.1 Billion,In 2010 GE reported US profits of $5.2 billion but got a $3.2 billion refund.
+
Bank of America-$1.6 Billion, B of A holds over $2.2 trillion in assets, and yet it pays less in taxes than the average American household.
+
Verizon-$8.4 Billion, Verizon reported $24.2 billion in pre-tax US income, and yet claimed a federal corporate refund of $4.3 billion.
+
Citi-$6.6 Billion, Citigroup has paid no taxes for the last 4 years. They were the largest recipient of bailout funds, receiving $476 billion.
=
$21.7 Billion

Then we wouldn't have to cut...
Jobs-$4.1 billion for job training unemployed and new workers.
Kids-$11.2 billion for early childhood programs.
Teachers-$4.6 billion for teacher training and after school programs.

But then again, no one cares.

Love you...

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you
(word to Stevie Wonder)
