maaybe if we lowered the corp tax rates we would get some tax revenues from these guys. Exxon paid 15 billion in taxes this year, but none to the US. Wouldn't it be better to lower the corp tax rate and get the 15 billion than having it high and get nothing ?? seems like a no brainer

Perhaps companies like 'GE' could also have some skin in the game...

When the USSC decides that GE can vote like it decided they had free speech rights, then I'll worry about whether they have skin in the game. Until then, it's not an issue. I worry only about the numbers of voters who not only have no skin in the game but get to vote themselves other people's skin.
