And what did the Corprats DO with those gargantuan tax cuts & loopholes? Well...

They did NOT "create jobs". . .

1. Do you suppose that right-wing politicians consider the higher campaign dollars they'll receive

because the 1 percenters have disposable money with those tax cuts?

Has anyone actually followed the money to determine if there is a correlation?

2. No doubt.

This is a sort of back-door disenfranchisement of the 99% (who can't buy representation for themselves because they don't have the money and thus end up with no voice in their own gov't)

4. And people, even some self described liberals, line up to donate to them every day.

Much like self described Christians that profit from the same evil machinations. They only pay lip service to their ideals while pimping themselves out to the highest corporate bidder and shoveling money into their schemes in the hopes they put it to the same uses, in the hopes they can get the same ROI.

5. It IS a great jobs plan and it works fantastically

When you look at it through the glasses they use.

They so not care that wee are out of work. someone in Guatemala will work for 1.00 an hour.
China will build a factory and TOWN to house the workers at your corporate manufacturing hub. They will also put up guard towers to keep those workers inside (not keep those clamoring for a job outside like Mitt claims)...They do create jobs. In other countries and they still make great profits.

6. Of course.

I don't know why the money they don't send to the IRS because of tax cuts would be used any differently than all their other money: to maximize profits, which often translates as offshoring jobs, automating others, buying out the competition (latest: American Airlines), and buying up governments at all levels to do their bidding.

What's not to like?



Oh yes, and giving themselves big bonuses.
