Corporate taxes

Conservatives love to blow smoke up your ass about how high corporate taxes are in the US, but what they don't tell you is that the special tax breaks we allow corporations, and the opportunities we give them to hide profits overseas, keeps their effective tax rates near zero.  These huge companies thrive on our nation - we are near the top of the board on consumer spending - but they don't contribute to the cost of keeping our nation up and running. It's time we end these tax breaks and ask them each to contribute something to the well-being of the U.S.
