Again, when we're talking revenue problems in this country, we're talking about companies who are shirking millions of dollars in tax payments through various loopholes, offshore holdings, and in the taxpayer subsidies and entitlements they receive. YOU are not being asked to pay more in taxes. YOU are a drop in the bucket.
Taxes today are at their lowest levels since 1950. We can deal with a lot of the problem by simply allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire....they had ten years to create jobs, they haven't, time to move on.
