The corporations deduct the money and send it directly to the Government which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporations.........

The Republican CABAL has been hammering us here in Colorado, not sending any "normal, pre-allocated" money to our state.
Along with other Blue States, that already send them far more money than we ever receive from the Fed Gov't.
There are a mass of Red states that send an incredible low amount to the Feds, and get far more than they send.....
That is esp true these past few decades.

The budgets for Colorado and Denver are in a real tail spin thanks to all of this.....
