Don't be confused by large international corporations paying low or no tax rates. The businesses being hit the worst are the medium and small sized ones who make the most jobs for US citizens. They can't offshore their most lucrative subsidiaries (and their well paying jobs) to avoid taxes in most cases. Instead, these companies are forced to pay the 30-40% tax on profits to the Federal and State governments. That's money that won't be used to hire people and expand business.

Where you get this 'free trade lie' stuff, I don't know. So you think the US having among the highest corporate tax rates in the world is just some sort of joke? Illinois where I live jacked their corporate tax rate up by 67% this January and have lost 89,000 jobs since then with unemployment going up a full percentage point. The US in a microcosm. Bet you think that is a laff riot, too since you clearly haven't actually thought it through.

That's because 'free trade' is about putting the little guys out of the competition. It's about enabling the free movement of capital offshore, which means only those with a lot of capital, like GE, take 'advantage' of the slave labor countries in our 'free trade' agreements.

The free traitors bring up the argument all the time that corporate taxes are driving companies offshore. The truth is, it is their own corruption of our government that is pushing government regulation to ensure that moving offshore is profitable for them, and there is no risk to their capital. That's what makes it so easy, and that's why all the resource intensive American companies, like forestry and paper producers, ranchers, farmers, miners and local manufacturers are being shut down here. Their resources are 'locked up' by rotten globalist manufactured environmental policy, overbearing regulation inspired by communist principles and punishing taxes on Americans for using legally owned property for their livelihood. The trashnational corporations are protected by 'free trade'.

The purpose of 'free trade' is to put the little companies here out of business. The free traitors work with US politicians to make it happen. Its not a laff riot, its treason. No right thinking American supports the rotten corrupt globalist destruction of the United States.
