Ralph Nader says there are 12 major companies, including G.E., Honeywell and Verizon that made over $167 Billion in profits over the past 3 years and paid NO Taxes and even got almost $3 Billion back from Uncle Sam for NOT paying any Taxes. Nader says ending these Tax Breaks and loopholes must be done first. Nader also says we need to stop unnecessary Wars and bring our brave boys and girls home to rebuild America. We need Ralph to talk to Republican House Speaker John Boehner, to start getting things done in Congress for ALL Americans, not just the top 1%. The Republicans in Congress are asking for cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and say we cant afford Social Security, but we can keep giving the wealthy more Tax Breaks. Where is the fairness to our struggling seniors, disabled and Veterans ? |

In Response to Consumer Advocate Ralph Nader Says End Corporate Welfare To Fix the Deficit: [QUOTE] I have to agree with Nader that this corporate welfare has damaged the nation. It's been happening so quietly that few people really know how much has been off-shored in foreign banks by the wealthiest in the world. Some say it's at least 21 trillion $$$, if not more. I've read that 60% of the deficit is due to wars, foreign involvement and aid. It's no wonder why our country has been declining over the last 3 decades. The rapid outsourcing of jobs has sucked money from the treasury for years as less people are working at good jobs. The "trickle-down" theory tax cuts for the wealthy hasn't worked. Yet, Romney proposed another 5 trillion $$$ in tax cuts and additional spending of 2 trillion $$$ for the military. |
