When 30 large companies, such as Verizon and General Electric, make a total of $160 billion in U.S. profits from 2008-2010 according to the Citizens for Tax Justice and pay NO federal income taxes there is a substantial loss of revenue to the U.S. Treasury. Two thirds of corporations pay no income tax on their profits under the Swiss cheese tax code.
Just taxing corporations at the rate paid in the prosperous nineteen sixties would bring in hundreds of billions of dollars yearly. Another great revenue producer is a tiny Wall St. speculation sales tax, a far tinier rate than what you pay in sales taxes.
Well I got about 6 good responses and a few great ideas! Ill keep building on that! Hopefully, for some of those who are constructive, we learned something. Hopefully, we are all more willing to work together on issues, while understanding that certain issues are humanitarian and non partisan. We learn alot about each other when viewing responses and I believe that each thread is different and we should clear each others minds as far as stereotyping the responders. Each new thread should be met with a clear playing field!
Thanks for the input!
Theres no time like the present

Brianlux, you must have like 15 "no comment" edited posts in this thread. lol. wtf???
I was accused of derailing the OP's thread. "No comment" is my most polite response. My least polite response would have likely earned me a "time out".
