It isn’t business-bashing to state true facts. I’m as big a capitalist as anyone but I don’t like corporations using their money to influence politics. They use laws to create markets for themselves by getting government to buy their products. They use laws to create regulators to protect their existing markets from competition. They move jobs and factories all over the world to avoid paying the taxes which buy their products and maintain the health of their workers and customers.
Rush had a great opening monologue about this today.
yes when PA enacted a sales tax on computer consulting services, GE cut it’s own deal with the state. They only paid on the net. everyone else paid on gross.
