More Taxes, anyone..?

Perhaps the first law of business is that maximizing profit is a top priority. Large, multinational corporations like GE have taken this mantra to the furthest extreme, pinpointing federal taxes as a big drain on their revenue stream and doing everything in their power to avoid them. Though they don’t technically break the law, they do push it to its limits: moving business offshores and exploiting every tax loophole in the book are central strategies. Understandably, this infuriates many people: after all, shouldn’t the biggest moneymakers our great nation has to offer also be some of its biggest financial contributors? Sadly, these companies don’t see it this way: they’re out for numero uno, no matter the cost to the American people. Here, we explain exactly how they go about it.

How Corporations Get Out of Paying Taxes

It appears tax evasion is easy if you have the money... No wonder the government is attempting to force yet another tax on us...

...Image how much less tax we'd need to pay if these types of companies where proud to contribute in our future instead of destroy it...

...Imagine a new paradigm, where the measure of wealth was sustainability and how much you contribute or give back is as addictive as gambling and as competitive as greed....

...Imagine a world where Profit without Social and Environmental contribution is just considered shameful/selfish and Super Profit is just pointless/senseless, completely irresponsible disregarding our past present and future.

The race to riches is a sure and fast track to nowhere. Everyone I know who is rich are some of the saddest people I know and in contrast some of the happiest people are less fortunate, or are they..?
