What is a tax "loophole"? It is a provision in the law that allows an individual or an organization to pay less taxes than they would be required to pay otherwise. Since Congress puts these provisions in the law, it is a little much when members of Congress denounce people who use those provisions to reduce their taxes.

A loophole is when one person pays a Congresswhore for a "legitimate and productive deduction" and then other people have the nerve to use it without paying the toll.

I just heard a replay of Michael Medved praising Rand Paul’s rousing defense of Apple. Both praised Apple as an example that should be revered and emulated, and warned that companies like Apple could move their operations offshore in an instant if they tired of such political persecution.

Congressmen are the minions of the global financial oligarchy, enacting the oligarchs’ laws at their behest.

I don’t think Congressmen are going to blame themselves.

Since this financial cabal has long ago, in effect, stealthily taken over the leadership our nation, the only ones to blame are the cabal.

Voters are not responsible if BOTH candidates on the ballot are minions of this cabal, Both parties are run by the cabal, who are we kidding.

It is absolute stupidity to support the idea of not consolidating income from ALL subsidiaries, both foreign and domestic.

I don’t care if it’s Apple or some tech company. Just because a company is an American tech company does not EXEMPT THE FROM INCOME TAX in the eyes of conservatives who’ve managed to figure out that new world order as THEM paying most of the TAX.

Tax exemptions INVARIABLY go to corrupt interests.

Cook should’ve pulled a Howard Hughes on them and told them where to get off, then up and leave.

Apple CEO Tim Cook was denounced for contributing to "a worrisome federal deficit," according to Senator Carl Levin — one of the big-spending liberals in Congress who has had a lot more to do with creating that deficit than any private citizen has.

I'll believe Levin when he says the same thing to Warren Buffett.

Elderly, tired, and perenially overconfident and clueless fat-asses like Carl Levin have gradually become the face of Leftism in America-—no longer the rabid longhairs of OWS, no associations with the
images of “ revolutionary” anti-war protestors of the 1960s. No, now people like Carl Levin have inherited the mantle of Progressivism and all its spun-off attitudes and quasi-ideologies. From my perspective, it’s kind of funny—
they’re as entrenched as the people surrounding Khruschev and
Brezhnev ever were,and just as pathetic.For anyone who’s ever looked at all those party-line loyalists from the Soviet bloc and wondered “How could a society actually tolerate these idiots who DON’T EVEN BELIEVE what they’re telling the people? Who are there in top positions for no reason other than to protect their own power, the Status Quo, the Party Structure?” we have only to look no further than people like Carl Levin to realize that it has happened here also.

"Or are only other people's deductions to be depicted as somehow wrong, while our own are OK?"

Ding-ding-ding!! You just hit the defining mantra of the Progressives. . .

Short-haired hippie Levin should point his waggly finger at himself in the mirror and scream, “YOU are THE Man!”

Because of "gimmicks" used by businesses to reduce their taxes, Senator Levin said, "children across the country won't get early education from Head Start. Needy seniors will go without meals. Fighter jets sit idle on tarmacs because our military lacks the funding to keep pilots trained."

When will someone stand up and call these self-righteous pompous hypocrites like Levin what they are to their face?

Congress puts thesae "gimmicks" in mainly for themselves and their friends.

Marxist Levin gives pond scum a good name.
