[DeTomaso] NPC - Corporate taxes

[Bill Lewis]

Larry, reading your lines below - you have gotten the problem, "...both sides of the aisle are in the pocket of the Wall-street corporate machine...."  Now, if you will only include ANYONE who wants to buy votes (you are in bed with the unions, Sierra Club, PETA, NOW - you don't think that they buy votes), you will be entirely correct.  So, we Americans have to tackle THAT problem first before we can ever solve any of out party planks!   ---Bill

It's true that many large corporations have years when they pay little or no taxes, but in many cases that's because they have carry-forward losses from previous years.  That, or they're getting subsidies from the Government for creating "green energy" products, that on their own wouldn't make a dime, but would instead lose money.  In fact, the head of our regional power company spoke at Rotary the other day, and when questioned, she had to admit that the wind power facilities they are operating would be a total money-losing proposition if it weren't for Federal subsidies.
