If companies manufacture their products in the US, I have no problem giving them a tax break. However, most companies, like Apple manufacture in China and India and rake most profits and demand/get tax break while J6P is out of work. Screw them tax these companies to the nose.

Check this out......guess how much taxes Goldman Sachs paid in 2008?!? bloomberg.com It's simply disgusting what is happening right out in plain view and all these right wing imbeciles worry about is the president's birth certificate, unfair pressure from govt. on health insurance companies or what will happen if Chuck and Larry tie the knot. They are truly the dumbest animals walking the face of the earth. How about the tax breaks that are offered to the oil industry...... nytimes.com there's a real good reason that we're paying <$3 a gallon in this country. On a recent trip to Germany, one of my right wing colleagues was poo-pooing the solar industry subsidies provided by the German govt. I wonder how much it compares with the "subsidies" the oil industry gets from the govt. in this country?!? Trickle down economics is the biggest fallacy visited upon this country. Since it's adoption under Ray-gun, we've had three progressively worse financial crises (Savings & Loan, Internet bubble and 2008 financial meltdown), staggering national debt, shrinking middle-class, almost all manufacturing moved offshore and now double digit unemployment. It's trickle up economics. Values my arse......we've been sold down the river by the greatest generation of cheesy pricks (repubs & dems) and they're laughing all the way to their own banks. How sad...... TS
