Norm's Soapbox- My corner of Hyde Park

Hey GOP, the following Corps paid ZERO TAXES. Why should the middle class, poor and Seniors support these Corps? Why cut SSI, Medicare when the following Corps are making record profits: Pepco Holdings, General Electric, Paccar, PG&E Corp, Computer Sciences, NiSource, CenterPoint Energy, Tenet Healthcare, Atmos Energy, Integrys Energy Group, Con-way, Ryder Systems, Baxter International, Wisconsin Energy, Duke Energy, DuPont, Consolidated Edison, Verizon Communications, Interpublic Group, CMS Energy, NexEra Energy, Navistar International Boeing, Wells Fargo, El Paso, Mattel, Honeywell International, DTE Energy and Corning. Imagine that, Corning, Boeing, Navistar, Pepsi and Baxter NOT PAYING their FAIR SHARE of TAXES. Why do you keep on protecting these Corps at a cost to the American voters?

Social Security taxes have been paid by workers for decades under the social contract that this was to guarantee they have SOME retirement, even if they worked for Enron. These taxes have been in the General Fund to reduce the amount of borrowing by government, thereby reducing interest rates for business. Business has already benefited from the SS taxes, and should not be stolen to cover their tax liabilities, or pay for Bush's tax cuts or wars.

Unfortunately business will, and has cut safety for workers and the public for profit which goes to CEO's, executives, corruption and stockholders, not the workers creating the wealth.

IRS, at G.W. Bush's direction, moved to revoke the tax-exempt status of All Saints Episcopal in Pasadena on the Sunday before the 2004 election. Bush objected to the church opposing war.
