Title: 30 Major corporations paid more to lobby than income taxes Post by: 44nutman on December 09, 2011, 01:02:10 pm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/264481/20111209/30-major-u-s-corporations-paid-lobby.htm
This is why the left vs. right bickering is total bullshit, ever single one of them is on the take. I love this part: In all these 30 companies averaged $55 Billion in PROFIT per year between 2008 and 2010. During that time- Total income taxes paid between them: 0. In fact, they actually received $10 Billion FROM the Government/Taxpayers during this time. Amount in Lobbying these companies spent during this time: $475 Million Maybe the Occupiers should go shit on K street.

Bullshit? Quote U.S. House Deputy Whip Kevin Brady, R-Tex., is currently making a last-ditch effort to include a corporate tax repatriation holiday on legislation Maybe the Occupiers should go shit on K street. They already did: Quote Public Campaign released its report on Wednesday, just as thousands of unemployed Americans from across the nation swarmed K Street in Washington, D.C., the lobbying center for some of the world's most profitable corporations. The march was part of "Take Back the Capitol," a four-day series of events aimed at persuading Congress to pass comprehensive job creation measure that will benefit their constituents, rather than special interest groups.
