Not Carrying Your Own Weight, That Sucks.....


Most big corporations would love you to believe the illustration above but it's nothing close to the truth. The fact is that most corporations avoid paying taxes by exploiting loop holes in the law including off shore banking and the sad thing is our government allowing this to go on. They bitch, whine, yell, scream and throw tantrums but with the money they make they should be paying the bulk of the taxes, it shouldn't fall on the working class but it always does thanks to crooked politicians, special interest lobbyist and bad attorney's and law maker's. You see I actually don't feel bad about paying taxes, think about all they pay for and all the benefits we reap from them in the big picture but what I find loathsome and disgusting is those who get very wealthy doing business and then exploiting every thing they can to avoid paying a fair tax on their wealth, to me that's a form of treason among other crimes. They should pay their fair share and be proud and grateful that they are able to do it! But then I also think they should pay the worker bee's that got them there fair wages and decent benefits also and not do it begrudgingly but gratefully. I find greed and selfishness and especially to the degree we witness it today a hideous plight on America and all Americans. Taxes pay for roads, schools, libraries, police and firemen, health and safety and none of those things are free, paying taxes is part of a democracy avoiding paying them by unethical means, pushing the limits of the laws, exploiting a system that you used to acquire your wealth, that's pathetic and disgusting and treasonous, if you don't want to pay than go play in another country and see how you like it there .........
As long as these companies and this countries wealthiest are allowed to get away with these crimes against this country the working class will continue to be forced to pay for their short comings. There's got to be a reckoning and the sooner the better. The system's out of balance, that's why it's not working right, think about it....I mean really, WTF they suck!!!

I just put Maxine in because I like her sense of humor and I don't like always ending on a negative note and most people are very negative when it comes to taxes but if we set the wealthiest 10% on the straight and narrow it would lighten the other 90% of the people's load, it's all in the checks and balances, we need to start holding people accountable.........
