I still think that companies are getting tax breaks that they shouldn't be getting.<BR/><BR/>Did your company's leader/CEO get a bonus last year even though the company didn't make a profit? Does he/she make 100x what you make? Maybe your company is a small one and has restraint in these areas.. be a refreshing change if it did.<BR/><BR/>Guess I am a bit biased in this area.. don't want socialism.. but I would like to see a different form of capitalism :(kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-31822046029929480792008-08-18T14:33:00.000-05:002008-08-18T14:33:00.000-05:00http://bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&si...http://bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&sid=aJHKNW1lro9Y&refer=columnist_hassett<BR/><BR/>I also almost commented, because my first thought was "well, our company didn't show a profit last year and we didn't pay taxes. And we're not crooks!" but why be a capitalist when everybody wants to complain? Here is a nice detailed report on why the original article was so skewed....Therese Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03925404067634150968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-85481995600598142732008-08-15T17:16:00.000-05:002008-08-15T17:16:00.000-05:00Thanks for the link CP.. the figures may be wrong ...Thanks for the link CP.. the figures may be wrong but the idea of corporate welfare isn't :)kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-85667730830593106672008-08-15T16:52:00.000-05:002008-08-15T16:52:00.000-05:00That sounds almost snarky, but not with intent.
