6. More trickle down their legs economics.

Give those uber rich corporations more and more tax breaks as our wages drop and our benefits disappear.

And if they are going to tax these very corrupt corporations at the point where the income is earned, where exactly is that? At the factory where they make the crap and pay 50 cents an hour to their workers then sell the crap to a shell corporations for a dollar? Or where the shell corporation dumps the crap on the same US firm that contracts the factory work, to sell for hundreds of dollars while showing a loss?

Yeah Rubio gives us your lies.

As if we don't get "double taxation"? Our wages get taxed when we earn them and then we get taxed at every single point of sale. I say tax the sale of stocks and bonds just like you tax any other property. Why are the most common investments of the uber rich NOT ever TAXED, when the most common investment of a working person is taxed up the hilt?
