So Fox News has 152 Tax Havens around the world
This News Corp has been taking advantage of the American people for far too long, now we know
why they support corporations over fair and balanced news.

Just heard this on CNN.

will drive them up the wall....:rofl:

7. Just heard on the radio the National
Association of Manufacturers says making corporations pay their taxes will destroy the economy. they claim corporations in the US pay the highest tax rates in the world. Doesn't make sense these ones pay no tax.

12. They do pay the highest tax rates, but.........
...what they don't tell you is that when they take advantage of all the tax loopholes, they DON'T PAY the highest taxes in the world.
They've been using that old "tax rate" meme for years and years. The greed of American corporations is astonishing, and deplorable!
Any person or corporation, or company that dodges their tax responsibilities are taking food out of starving people's mouths. They are scumbag SOBs and should be forced out of America completely.

13. Bingo !!
i say fuck them & everyone stop trading with them ! :grr: :grr: :grr:"


Now you have the ticket!

The supposed cure for the whole financial debacle (brought on by the corporatists, with mal and-misfeasance, while plundering the American population's wealth and security under Reagan-Bush-Bush-sponsorship) is all about having us continuing to feed the cash flow streams of the corporate vampires.

Indeed, "fuck 'em!". If we all just sat back on our thumbs for sixty days or so, paid them NOTHING during that period, who would go under, them or us?? I think it would be them and they would vanish like a bad dream. Boycott, anyone??

16. I hope that somehow Hannity and O'Reilly lose all their money this way.
I don't think they should be allowed to collect welfare.

18. K&R
Like The Bush Administration's torture, Faux News being a tax cheat is hardly surprising. It's all about character. Liars are also likely to be thieves. And so they are.

21. had Fox spews on yesterday when this was discussed
and I thought, why are they spinning this that the corporations will raise their prices and cause layoffs? These corporations are tax evaders! They are cheating the system! Now, tell me, if you don't pay your taxes, you can bet the IRS will be knocking on your door looking for their payments with penalties. Faux Spews just ticks me off to no end with their spin on stories like this. Why they are no better than Madoff robbing from the gov't. How is paying taxes going to cause Corporations to raise their prices? Because they aren't cooking the books? Flaming mad I am. Same reason I swore off Walmart years ago. Crooks, all of 'em.

(disclaimer: our satellite system only supplies CNN Int'l and Fox News. I wouldn't watch but it's the only American live feed of news we have...I know...sniff...it's dreadful).
