Unfortunately, in the House, things are much worse. At the end of last July, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas (R-Calif.), with President Bush’s blessing, introduced a bill to provide companies with a staggering $259 billion in new loopholes over the next decade. Among the items on this corporate wish list are $79 billion worth of expanded tax shelters for multinational corporations. All of these corporate breaks are not being recycled into the US. I think we need to put a stop to it. In the past you could make a decent assumption that at least some benefits provided to corps would benefit the workforce or infrastructure. Not now.
