I promised not to write about politics. What I meant to write is that I will, in the future, write about politics, but I will not write about a Republican or Democrat solution to political problems. As soon as you offer a Republican or Democrat solution to any political problem in America today, 50% of readers will actually despise you...We are currently allowing some of the largest and most profitable companies in the U.S. to avoid paying corporate, federal income taxes each year. If we do not close these tax loopholes for these corporations, we will have no choice but to raise taxes on all middle-class Americans such as you and me. The corporate tax loopholes are costing the Federal Treasury l80 billion dollars a year.30% of our largest corporations paid no corporate federal income taxes over a recent three year period. Corporate profits are soaring and represent a larger share of national income since World War II. But corporate taxes today make up just 9% of federal tax revenue, down sharply from a high of 32%. I am not writing about redistributing of wealth. We need to close the corporate tax loopholes so that we can use the extra tax money to reduce our l6 TRILLION DOLLAR NATIONAL DEBT or we can use the extra tax money to repair our bridges before some of us end up in our cars in 40 feet of water with car doors closed, and with our car seat belts around our waists. If we have a choice of closing loopholes on corporate taxes or drowning to death, I am positive, except for corporate executives, we all would vote for closing the tax loopholes...I think it was Lenny Bruce, the famous comic who said, "This is a crazy country. We spend a lousy 300 million a year on medical research and FOUR BILLION a year on get well cards."...I wrote this old poem about 9 months ago in Facebook and I wrote it two days ago in a Facebook comment. I repeat it here for our new readers, "Skinner took a young lady out to dinner and by ten it was in her, not dinner, but Skinner. Skinner was no beginner. Skinner was in her before dinner." Yes, it is a very old poem, but I am sure the many of you have never heard it or read it before. God bless us all, especially bless George Zimmerman and the parents of Trayvon Martin. I read yesterday that Rev. Al Sharpton and the attorneys and parents of Trayvon Martin are praying that when the jury reaches a verdict, they want no riots, no demonstrations of any kind.
