You, too, can pay zero in taxes

...if you're a mulinational corporation that makes billions in profit.  As noted in Think Progress, 26 out of 30 major coporations have paid zero in taxes over the last four years.  This despite the fact that your taxes paid for the roads their products traveled on, the police and firemen that protected their plants and office complexes, the military that kept them safe from foreign threats...you get the picture.

I'll be damned if I can figure out, if as Citizen's United declared that corporations are people, why in the hell they don't pay taxes just like ordinary people.  Methinks it's probably the all too often left unsaid truth that in America there are aristocrats who are just a little more special than the little people like you and me.

It's not enough that we're forced to shop at the company store--they want us to run the fucking register and clean the place up, too.

Peace,
