The Public Be Damned! Where the public stands of corporate tax reform and what Obama, the Democrats and the Republicans intend to do about it.

As the chart below shows, the vast majority of American citizens want US corporations to pay more in taxes. They can since they’re getting record profits year after year. But is that ever going to happen outside of a major political revolution? Not likely.

Wall Street owns 80 percent of the Democratic Party, include the head honcho, President Barack Obama. Wall Street also owns the entire Republican Party, so it isn’t going to happen there.

A real increase in the amount of taxes corporations pay will reduce corporate earnings. This will lower share prices and maybe even negatively impact corporate bond prices. None of this is good for Wall Street and the 1 percent since share prices must go up and up. Otherwise, the entire Ponzi scheme known as Wall Street will collapse, as it did during the Great Depression.

This is Where the United States Government Is Today, as well as Ten, Twenty and Thirty Years Ago

Fascism began in America with the ascendency of President Ronald Reagan. A day after he was sworn into office, the Iranians released the embassy hostages, perhaps and or most likely because a deal had been made between the leaders of Iran and Republican officials to hold on to the hostages to ensure the defeat of President Jimmy Carter. This treason, if it occurred, was a massive move toward fascism. If it didn’t occur, it was a remarkable coincidence. On the other hand, congress made certain that any investigations into the arms for hostages crisis would not look into anything having to do with the case before 1983. That was another strange coincidence.

Reagan’s reign of error included his war against the middle class and the destruction of labor unions.

Fascism in the United States began with Reagan, but it wasn’t completely in charge of both major political parties until the second term, or maybe sometime during the first term, of President Bill Clinton.

One could argue that we do not have a fascist system of government, but then the only argument you could otherwise make is that we have a plutocracy, which is a government of the rich and for the rich. However, in the case of the United States, they’re one and the same. We have them both.

What’s He Hiding? Did Mitt Romney Receive Tax Rebates on Taxes He Never Paid?

Mitt the Twit continues to refuse to release his taxes. Senator Harry Reid claims Mitt paid no taxes for ten years. That part is probably true. But what if it’s worse? What if, like many corporations, Mitt received tax rebates on taxes he never paid. In other words, what if Mitt received hundreds of thousands, and perhaps millions, of dollars in tax rebates? That would mean he paid a tax rate that wasn’t zero, but negative. What a special privilege! That’s probably what Wall Street Mitt is hiding. What a patriot! And I mean that sarcastically!

Now listen to this. Romney said that “corporations are people, my friend,” but in a recent interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Mitt insisted that he wouldn’t release his taxes because he is not a business. He was the CEO and sole shareholder of Bain Capital, a publicly traded limited liability corporation. So yes according to Mitt’s definition, he was a corporation and a person. Mitt ya twit, ya can’t have it both ways! Come on! Come clean! Stop hiding the ten years of taxes that you never paid. Stop hiding the tax rebates you received!
