Senate Democrats want a crackdown on companies that
have fled their extortionist policies.
Capos Durbin, Warren and Reed want Don Obama to remind these taxpaying
soldiers of their obligation to the federal government. They want undying loyalty to this thing called
Cosa Nostra. Here is an excerpt from their letter to the
Godfather, as reported by the Hill:
“Corporations that
renounce their U.S. corporate citizenship should not be able to reap all the
benefits that American tax dollars provide,” they wrote. “We urge you to use
your authority to stand up for American companies which are proud to be part of
our nation and reduce U.S. incentives for others corporations which would
abandon their responsibilities to their country for a nod of approval from Wall
Street.”
The
senators warned that 47 corporations have inverted operations in the last
decade, with over a dozen more announcing plans to do the same. If the
government does not act soon, the U.S. could lose billions of dollars in tax
revenue from companies that enjoy perks provided here, they cautioned.
“Inverted
corporations take advantage of all the things American tax dollars provide—from
tax credits for research and development, investments in transportation
infrastructure, and strong patent and copyright protections, to profiting from
taxpayer-supported programs like Medicare and the Veterans Health Administration.
Yet, these companies claim to be foreign corporations when it’s time to pay
their tax bill,” they wrote.
The federal
mafia needs those soldiers producing. And they had better. After all, they have all the benefits of this thing called a family. By the way, once you’re in, you can’t leave.
