That one almost made me vomit. Do you realize that you just admitted to being at the mercy of your "bosses," and that, furthermore, you're okay with that?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why we are all "fukked." Far too many of us are willing to accept that this is how corporations treat us; some to the point of DEFENDING it???!!! Do they ever throw you a bone for being such a loyal subject? My guess is you accept their continuing to shell out your pittance, minus whatever reductions they feel are appropriate, as payment enough, because that's what the Republican party says is best for our country. That is SAD.

Taxes on corporations should be exactly the same as they are for the ma and pa businesses they destroy on a daily basis. The fact that many actually profit from filing taxes is nothing shy of criminal.

The larger corporations get, the less "free" the market becomes. With no competition, consumers have no options. With no options, corporations don't need to worry about annoyances like customer satisfaction, quality service, and competitive pricing, which are the things we all benefit from in a true free market. Hence, you get what we've got today. Apparently, many of us, inexplicable though it may seem, embrace it as good Capitalism.

wro: If you truly mean what you say, the Socialist system you so blatantly oppose would put you in far better standing than where you're at. Just sayin'.
