Tax Evasion By Any Other Name Would Stink As Bad

As 'der bingle' used to say...in the cool, cool, of the evening tell em I'll be there. But some Corporations just want to be here to sell us their products and let us pay all the taxes.

We have never had a prayer to stop the mitigation of jobs to Asia, yeah that's right, mitigation...the unmitigated gall to claim to be an American and doing everything in their power to destroy the infastructure of our economy.

That old chestnut about giving the stockholders their dividend don't wash anymore baby. After Enron not even Cheney would make you try to make you believe that. I know people that have owned General Electric stock all their adult lives and they are ashamed to admit it...but they still own it.

But don't tell me no one in congress noticed the criminal abuse of our tax structure when they started that mitigation, (and that was almost a migration...like geese heading south for the April bad news)... to Bermuda with their tax pockets full.

When all the jobs that pay more than five dollars an hour are gone who are Damiler Benz...ah sorry about that...Chrysler going to sell those thirty thousand dollar vehicles to then? I know...all the corporate executives that live here but pay no taxs in Bermuda.

When all the sound bites are over, the useless rhetoric about why we went to war in Iraq, and who knew what. The crooked foxes will still be in the hen house, because most people will still be looking for those weapons of mass destruction, and God forgive them...our young men will still be dying in Iraq, and Afganistan...and brother Cheney's pals will still have the exclusive bidding rights on construction jobs there and operating out of...guess where...Bermuda.

Vote people, please, get somebody that gives a darn about the working stiff, the guy that buys the cars and the gas and the clothes and yes...pays his taxes. Senator Byrd, of West Virgina, was once quoted, I believe, as saying paying taxes was the price of admission to the brotherhood of the United States of America.

If you don't pay your dues, if you criminally refuse to pay your fair share, we ought to have some way of excluding them from the brotherhood that made them the money in the first place...no?

Of course I could be all wrong and those fellows in the corporate headquarters are just biding their time waiting for the right moment to come to the rescue of the rest of us.
