Tax, baby, tax

[Ardent15]

Tax the fuck out of oil corporations, insurance corporations, banking corporations, food corporations...ANY corporation that fucks over the people.

Remember, ExxonMobil paid ZERO income tax last year. How the fuck is that reasonable?

3. But, but ...

they contribute so very much, and so often, to the very politicians that we have supposedly empowered to impose those taxes upon them. And that's not to mention the fact that those politicians have some great careers lined-up for them with said corporations should they leave "public service". And were not even going to bring up the ones that came from the hallowed halls of big businessdom prior to being elected or appointed.

4. Put a monster tax on Derivatives and Off-The-Books Credit Swaps...

..this would bring in Trillions in needed revenue overnight and at the same time stop the vampire Hedge Funds that are sucking the life blood out of the world's economy.

Problem solved.

But we all know it won't happen.... and we know WHY it won't happen.
