Keep pounding this over and over. Corporations have obfuscated that their so-called "pay too many taxes" is never the reality when the returns are exposed.

Their short-sightedness by going with short-term spite will ultimately lead to their self-destruction, because they have systematically shorted the producers of their products who they seem to forget would also be the consumers of their products.

And thus greed results in products that consumers can no longer afford. And they are doing this world-wide.

I can't wrap my head around this... Kalidurga Jul 2012 #1
