Atta boy Levin, sic the IRS on them because it seems the RATS have a habit of that. If Caterpillar is following the law you don't have a leg to stand on.

A rational person would look at what drove them to avoid the taxes.

They should threaten to just shutdown their Ohio operation and move everything overseas. See if there is any back pedaling.

It's one of the few big businesses we still have in Illinois. The rats must destroy it.

Caterpillar does a boatload (or two) of business overseas.
Levin needs to just go home and continue to suck off the public as he has done for decades.
He's a Taker, NOT a Maker.

While the report, from the Senate Permanent subcommittee on Investigations, said Caterpillar had done nothing illegal, it criticized the manufacturing giant for trying to avoid paying U.S. taxes. So is Levin saying that Democrats always try to maximize their tax exposure?

Congress writes a bullshit code so that its members can please their lobbyists. And then Congress is upset when tax specialists figure out how to beat said BS code.
Like Cruz says...scrap the tax code and abolish the IRS.

There is nothing illegal or immoral about avoiding taxes. In fact it is management’s duty to their owners.

, like avoiding speeding to avoid speeding tickets… or should we treat people that obey the speed limit as government revenue dodgers?

The ultimate goal of the Marxist, aka Democrats, will be to nationalize all American industry in the new USSA.

Levin is just annoyed that the company still does ANY business in the United States, obviously we need a few more tax hikes to ensure that U.S.-based corporations get the message that they’re no longer welcome in this country.
To: jazusamo
Levin is steaming mad because the guys a Caterpillar are a lot smarter than the guys at Big Government, and made Big Government look like fools.

I’m sure Levin doesn’t take advantage of tax laws to minimize his own tax liabuility.

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.
