“they passed it onto their shareholders….” God forbid the free market work on behalf of the “shareholders.” You mean like the mutual fund that is holding that stock that also happens to be where my 529 or 401k is invested? Those shareholders? I agree, Sen. Kerry,let’s not benefit the shareholders which may be working stiffs like me! And I’m sure those workers weren’t going to be laid off regardless….
Great observation. Kerry should have left it at: “It did not increase domestic investment or employment”, which could be an acurate statment. But, the guy cannot help himself when he’s presented with an opportunity to grandstand. He’s one of the richest guys in the Senate and probably a “shareholder” many times over. Now it seems people like him are losing sight of what capitalism is about. Damn economy!
Idiots! This country sports the second highest corporate tax rate in the world!! Gee, any wonder why corporations are taking their operations off shore?
Want to bring a stimulus to the economy? Reduce corportate tax rates and watch the corporate world move right on over.
Maybe abroad should help out the businesses instead of the lowly ol taxpayer. We allow companies to keep money overseas to avoid taxes, yet we use tax dollars to bail them out. Hmmmm Congress, Senate have it all screwed up.
