An Open Question To Corporations

*Does FOX lie? A must see: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/18/fox-reporter-greeted-with-fox-lies-chants_n_825393.html

In Madison, WI for a counter protest, some TEA Partiers were asked about corporations joining the public sector in making concessions to help shoulder the burden. Two responses:

"Corporations shouldn't pay taxes at all. That's a terrible idea," said Jay from LaCrosse, who identified as a libertarian and said that businesses would just raise prices and relocate to China if they faced higher taxes.

"No, they pay their taxes. They pay their taxes," said John from Milwaukee, when The Huffington Post asked if it was fair that he was paying taxes and corporations weren't.



To the former, I ask: THEN WHY SHOULD THEY HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS A LIVING HUMAN BEING (RE: CITIZENS UNITED)??

To the latter: That's just sad.

The happenings in Madison are making me proud to be a Badger. Where was this activism while I attended? Huff Post article with updates HERE.

Cheers,
Drew
