You nailed it...From us lowly peons right up to the largest corporations.
I’m sure Levin doesn’t take advantage of tax laws to minimize his own tax liabuility.
Yep, and Levin’s really ticked because that’s not hard to do. lol
It is the responsibility of every CEO/CFO in America to manage tax liability. If they do a poor job, they are exposed to shareholder liability and worse.
Levin is an idiot.
No, Levin is not an idiot.
Levin is a warrior, a class war warrior. His intent is to enrage his old union base, most blacks and all on welfare to hate corporations and vote democrat
His weapons are words
Caterpillar also avoided bankruptcy. Shouldn’t that be the real point!
How dare CAT not allow the government to piss away every damn last dime of their tax payments.
2.4 Billion? That would pay for about 20 Chicago teachers pensions.
They have a fiduciary responsibility to do that.
If it was legal then GOOD FOR CAT!
What Sen Levin really means is:
Look here, we passed these complicated laws for ourselves and our close friends, how dare you use the same law to shelter your income. I know just because us folks in the Ruling Class have been doing it forever(see Kennedy Trust) doesn’t mean it was meant for everyone, and we Don’t Like it.
What the heck has the federal government done to make Caterpillar successful???
They did nothing illegal, just smart, in avoiding the ridiculous taxes levied by the Socialists in D. C. and IL.

I am sure of that too but let's see a full IRS anal probe of Levin's dealings anyway ... for transparency.
With no thanks to levin, expect caterpillar to close up shop in the US in the near future. The industrial decline in the US, and loss of heavy manufacturing here in the US is the last nail in the coffin for a company like caterpillar. The US is in its post industrial decline, being replaced by the downward spiral service and financial industries. When you get to the point where your country only trades haircuts and hamburgers for worthless paper, you’re basically screwed. Enjoy the ride down.
Anytime a company can avoid paying more taxes to an over bloated POS government like ours is a good thing.
Rue the day!
Go Caterpillar, starve the freakin beast!!
I am amazed at the magnitude of Carl Levin’s greed.
They destroyed it here in York, PA, and over 1,100 jobs were lost in 1998, thanks to the scum UAW 17-mo strike. Not much remains, and that might be going away this year.
