You’ve got to give them credit. They’re consistent in their protection of greed.

President Obama and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner announced on Monday a crackdown on offshore tax havens that could produce $210 billion in new tax revenue over the next decade.

The White House will face opposition to the proposal from the business community and Congress. Before the announcement, a Republican leadership staffer circulated an email citing a Bloomberg report saying the proposal “would be the biggest tax increase on U.S. corporations since 1986.” And Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell (Ken.) said later on Monday that he could not endorse Obama’s plan since it “gives preferential treatment to foreign companies at the expense of U.S.-based companies.”




  1. #99 – Liberty Loser,

    When Iceland was founded, they brought their slaves with them (mainly Irish and Scots). The Chieftains ruled for generations.

    This was a quote from your post #67. You used this statement to prove that Iceland did not start the ideal of people not being subservient to others.

    So, if slavery negates this idea for you, then you should remain consistent in your beliefs.

    If (Slavery != free society in Iceland) then Slavery != free society in America.

    Have you no logic circuits? Or, do you not read your own posts?
