"A corporate tax rate of zero would be the best way to do that"

Only for all the shareholders and top execs, and I don't give a flying fuck about them. I do care that the country Apple seems to love, and claims as its own, is slowly falling apart because we can't afford to make the necessary repairs because Apple and others don't believe in contributing to the common good.

U.S. gets D+ on infrastructure report card

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) announced Tuesday that the U.S. earned a grade of D+ in its 2013 Report Card for America's Infrastructure.

The latest report card, which is issued every four years, is actually a slight improvement on the "D" grade issued in 2009. But it found that the nation had significant work to do to shore up its infrastructure. ASCE estimates that the U.S. needs to spend $3.6 trillion on infrastructure by 2020 -- $1.6 trillion more than current funding levels allow.
