Corporate Tax contribution: lowest in 20 years.... I've given up on taxing corporations. All it does is create a [non-productive] corporate lobby industry. Any corporate taxes eventually get passed down to the consumer. We might as well abolish corporate taxes; eliminate corporate subsidies and make up the difference with personal income tax. Did you catch this event earlier this year? The Rev is catching members from both sides of the aisle. The Reverend Sun Myung Moon: The "King of Peace" or the "King of Hustlers"? By David McNair 09/03/04 In March 2004, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon and his wife were crowned the "King and Queen of Peace" in the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C. At least a dozen members of Congress, religious leaders from all major denominations, U.S. ambassadors and other distinguished guests gathered to honor Rev. Moon for his efforts at unifying all the world’s religions and trying to establish a new United Nations dedicated to peace. In addition, several members of Congress received "Ambassadors for Peace" awards, including Democratic Sen. Mark Dayton of Minnesota, Democratic Reps. Danny K. Davis of Illinois, Harold E. Ford, Jr. of Tennessee and Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. of Georgia, as well as Republican Reps. Roscoe G. Bartlett of Maryland, Christopher B. Cannon of Utah and Curt Weldon of Pennsylvania. Rev. Moon, the ex-felon billionaire leader of the Unification Church, is also the owner of the Washington Times, United Press International (UPI), Insight Magazine and hundreds of other business and front organizations around the world. Ever since he was a VIP guest at Ronald Reagan’s inauguration in 1981, Moon and his Unification Church have been permanent fixtures in Washington. Over the years, he has sought to buy influence and prestige for his church by supporting conservative causes, handing out large sums of money to both Democrats and Republicans through his various front organizations and subtly promoting his views in publications such as the Washington Times and UPI. .. rutherford.org
