Our corporations are exporting jobs overseas. They fire Americans and hire cheap Chinese labor. Our country has lost its ability to manufacture goods and services. Think about that for a minute. These protesters didn't do that, corporations did.

Our corporations exploit loop holes in tax laws and many of them pay no taxes at all. You may say that's fine because all good businesses take advantage of every opportunity available to them. What you either ignore or don't understand is that these loop holes exist because corporations have paid politicians to create them.

And speaking of paid for politicians, that's the real problem. Corporate lobbyist have been working over these jerks for years. Politicians now answer to companies before citizens. With the recent Supreme Court decision overturning decades old campaign finance laws, we as individuals now matter even less. You really think our politicians are going to pass laws protecting Americans from corporations when its the companies paying for their campaigns? Our government is "loop holed" out of hundreds of billions of tax dollars every year. Corporations were able to do that by spending just about a combined hundred million dollars in political donations


FACT.
