I guess we are discussing two different realms...Personally I don't care about an organisation's political or religious beliefs s long as it doesn't cause harm to.... But off the top of my head this early morning as I prepare for my sunrise swim in the Caribbean. The entities I would be concerned about also pay/paid exceeding well!!!! My realm is the 'Rip Off' companies that don't/didn't add value to the real economy...EG: 1. the 'ENRONs' lead by greedy people who were allowed to break laws with their irrational exuberance; 2. the Ponzi Financial companies/mostly off shore that are presently taking us down as a world economy; 3. the bailed out Banks that exceeded there minimum equity requirements as well as their grasp of trust; 4. The Oil Companies unnecessarily subsidized in their tax regimes a proven technology and resources ; 5. The Automobile companies that are subsidized for poor management decisions that led/lead to bankruptcy; 6. The war supply companies that are allowed to cheat on their billings; the so called 'defence' contractors that corrupt the Government of the US; 7. The organizations operating under the (Table;) wings of the US Government that misuse programs such as the so called War on Drugs to profit and undermine democratic foreign governments. 8..there are others.... Need to get back to the real economy; one based on free enterprise, 'trust verified' and transparency. The money saved should go into: 1. a 'worry free' health care system that is prevention-orientated and for all; 2; and tax incentives to get off of carbon fuels by efficiencies, paralleled by alternative clean energy source ramp ups... Further reduce Taxes on everyone for value added work and replace needed revenue by the relatively quick dissolution of the Military Empire (with its phantom enemies and enemies created) into a true Defence Force; and a consumption tax on everything but raw food and Education. As well I would shift tax revenues 'closer to home' to the states and communities where transparency is easier to verify and Reduce the Federal Government where to many shenanigans are going unchecked including funding of a rather ruthless Imperial Empire unknowingly by the vast majority of US Citizens!
