Corporate whoring in the Senate
As you are probably aware, the WTO has ruled that the US government must end an export subsidy mostly for Boeing and Microsoft. The bill that was supposed to achieve this has turned into a nightmare of pork featuring $170bn in tax cuts for corporations.
As you are no doubt also aware, corporations don’t pay much taxes in this country; you and I do. They’ve never paid their fair share, but these days they pay an astonishingly low percentage of taxes.
Please consider calling your senators and telling them that you don’t support tax cuts for corporations, that you don’t support this bill, and that you certainly don’t support any extension of the tax-cuts in this bill that are going to sunset.
