re: #6 Obdicut

You talk about corporations as if they were owned by aliens on some distant planet. Most large corporations are owned mostly by institutional investors - pension funds, mutual funds etc, in other words by average people saving for retirement.

“The US government should be able to tax all money made by US citizens, because that’s the responsibility of citizenship. Tax-dodging is unpatriotic in the extreme, it’s theft from your fellow citizens.”

As you ought to know, the US is one of very few countries to tax citizens on their worldwide incomes - Eritrea is another one. No doubt you are proud that your country is in such illustrious company…

And my idea of ‘theft from your fellow citizens’ is taking taxpayer money and giving it to your cronies at Solyndra and (insert endless list of people Obama wants to hand money out to here).

It’s all theory with you, isn’t it ? You never seem to look at the actual consequences of intrusive government.
