Leave Hunter Alone - Most Corporations Are Completely Corrupt HERE AND EVERYWHERE ELSE
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the General Discussion forum).
There are over 70,000 tax loopholes in our IRS Code, all paid for by lobbyists handing out campaign contributions, and funding super pacs with secret money.
In Europe they incorporate in Luxembourg or Ireland and screw the country their stores are in.
91 Fortune 500 companies paid ZERO corporate income tax here. That isn't corruption? Damn right it is.
Our whole system of Wall Street Greed / Theft is corrupt from top to bottom, and through and through.
See ALEC for instance. Corporate written legislation.
Maybe Burisma is more corrupt than Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, BOA, Comcast, Facebook etc? Maybe not.
It is just corruption by different levels of degrees. Possibly different kinds of corruption. Possibly exactly the same, just in a different country, robbing different people, and bribing different politicians in different ways. They don't have 501C3's there. They don't need them.
I read 25,000 people died from taking Vioxx and not one single person went to jail even though executives knew it was deadly.
$$$$ before everything.
Bernie, and Elizabeth have been telling us the game is rigged for years. Carter says we live in an Oligarchy.
IT IS RIGGED. That is why I pay up to half my "wages" in taxes (or more), and billionaires double and triple their wealth and don't pay squat in taxes.
Leave Hunter Alone!!!!
If the system actually worked, Trump would have been locked up years ago for all his crimes, and scams.
Even when crimes are committed, rarely do corporate executives serve prison terms. The company pays a fine, and goes on breaking the law more. Remember when Bank of America was shredding paperwork for loan workouts, so people would get frustrated and settle for worse terms? Lots of crimes. Zero prosecutions. Banks are never prosecuted. How about military contractors that simply don't do crap and pad their bills, and get paid regardless.
It's not about Hunter, it's about worldwide theft of our futures by (almost) ALL CORPORATIONS. The well connected get to rape our futures at will, and never pay the price.
I would assume some corporations aren't completely corrupt, and "do good" but they need to give $$ to their stockholders by any means necessary. Kinda hard not to TAKE THE MONEY.
The game is rigged.
Hunter, take the money. EVERYONE else does. Check out Boehner, and Ryan, and all their friends from both parties. Lobbyists. Milking the gravy train, adding trillions to our debt.
If some corporation offered you $50K a month, would you take the money if you knew you weren't going to jail no matter what?
Damn right you / I would.
Have a great new year friends.
Pay your taxes so the rich can grow their portfolios..... They need new yachts!
