Carl Levin is a disgrace. He wrote letters to IRS to deny tax exempt status telling IRS to to target Tea Party organizations. Now he is parading Caterpillar in front of Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs accusing Caterpillar of avoiding billions in taxes yet he has the gall to say that Caterpillar is not breaking any laws. Dear Carl, if Caterpillar is not breaking any laws then they are not avoiding taxes. If you want to change the law, then change it! Quit singling out and slandering individual taxpayes, like Apple and Caterpillar.
“The report raises questions about the validity of the tax strategy but doesn’t accuse the Peoria, Ill.-based manufacturer of breaking the law.
“We don’t reach those kinds of judgments,” Levin said. “The question is, ‘Is it tolerable?’ And I don’t think it is.”

Levin doesn't think it's tolerable. Well whoop de doo, like most democrats it's all about how they feel, not what the law is. He is one sorry excuse for a US Senator.
