Except when a company pays close to no income tax by skirting laws, loopholes etc.. then we all pay, no?

You are 100% correct. I'll say 2 things. First, I don't know how often that happens. Second, if what you describe amounts to a big deal, I wonder why the Obama administration didn't fix that during his first 2 years, when the Democrats controlled the House, and had a fillibuster-proof majority in the Senate? Can't blame that on the GOP.

Thumbs up Go Joe!

I know one thing, if Joe Biden didn't keep his mouth shut, and say in regard to the protest about the lack of jobs all over Europe, "thats going to be happening here shortly", then these dumb-ass occupiers wouldn't be there. So it kinda makes you think that it was instigated by those in office to make whats going on less terrible. Sort of a "wag the dog" war/protest movement.

The people "protecting" the plovers are the supposed 1%.
