Forbes Sr. Wed, 12 Dec 2012 07:24:00 +0000 http://blog.ourfuture.org/?p=78511#comment-11483 Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is one of those hard-to-believe people we all read about in history. Larger than life, and worse than you thought possible in his principles. He proves himself a very short sighted, small minded man. Yet he is the Minority leader in the U.S. Senate. Most importantly, he is deliberately destructive of the democratic process and subversive of the Constitutional structure for legislation.

Century Foundation had a great study. The corp. income tax is projected at just 1.5% of GDP this year. In 1952. the corporate income tax accounted for about one third of government revenues. Corporate America has devised complex tax avoidance schemes. Today Corporate supplies just less than 9% of today’s federal revenues.
Between 2008 and 2011 many multinationals paid no corporate tax on profit in billions.
In 2011. the effective tax paid was 12.1% a 40 year low.
America needs Tax Reform. Quick.
