Boehner's Ties to Lobbyists Enabling Corporate Tax Evasion?
I'm always careful about hearing both sides of every issue, but this article from the Dailykos (see above link) really convinced me about Representative John A. Boehner's true agenda. It definitely reinforced my suspicion of him and his party's true purpose (too feed the American Oligarchy).
Its funny how the Boehner keeps walking out on President Obama, even amidst this apparent, pending dooms-day. You'd think he'd do whatever it takes to get a deal done. In reality, he's intentionally dragging his feet in order to link President Obama to the mess he actually inherited from G.W. Bush and his 'War on Terror'. Actually, its still part of George H.W. Bush and his NAFTA agenda which was actually initiated by former President Clinton. Its in the best interest of multi-national corporations (which is who Boehner was selected to represent) for the US Dollar to continue its down-ward slide. That's why some call this issue an 'artifical crisis'. I agree with that- not to say the crisis does not exist- but to point out the fact it doesn't need to exist.

Big Business, Little Tax
Many big business paid little or even NO taxes since 2008. They include Boeing, Dupont, Exxon Mobil, FedEx, General Electric, IBM, Verizon Communications, Yahoo, American Electric Power, Honeywell International, and United Technologie...s. Some of them even received tax refunds!!!! Where is the profit going? Where is this supposed "Trickle-Down" econmics? In fact, Yahoo just 'trickled' its call center on 'down' to the Dakotas. Cisco, EA and Bristol-Myers Squibb have 'trickled' themselves over to Ireland. Even my beloved bank saddled-up and moved most of its operations out of San Francisco. To make matters worse, there has been a steady, rushing 'trickle' of international workers ushered in to take the few jobs available that actually pay a living wage. (God-forbid you adjust for inflation) Is it because many of these workers aren't receiveing medical benefits and the business can save millions?
Looking back, I see why George H.W. Bush allowed Clinton to slide in and push NAFTA. We're still feeling that backlash. Now, the U.S. dollar is being driven into the ground. Coincidence? I doubt it. Manifest Destiny is over, so the Rockefellers, Stanfords, and Vanderbilts of our day have no more West to win. Where else can they go? Apparently, its re-investing back in Europe in an effort to stimulate its deteriorating population. While America is being left to fend for itself. We still sell the dream, but in reality we fight over one, crumby slice of pie. Fortuantely I'm part Irish :)
