They used to provide jobs. Now they are in the business of providing "shareholder value". The use the money to merge and avail themselves of all the "synergies"...which usually means dumping any redundant employees. The buy back stock. The sit on hundreds of billions in profits because of "uncertainties".

The corporations do not provide jobs unless there is a demand for their product. The demand for the product usually comes from us. If we do not have money to spend on their product ..... you see how this works?
Business does not operate on the "field of Dreams" concept of "build it and they shall come".

They are not
Not any more than anyone else
Do you refuse to use public or government services?
Do you Refuse or plan to refuse your social security/medicare or other entitlements?
Have you Ever accepted workmen's comp, unemployment, or disability?
Would you if you were disabled, or unemployed?
Ever use a public library?
A public street?
Why do notoriously red states occupy the top of the list of states that take more out of the federal government than they put in?
Why are middle class taxpayers funding subsidies for corporate farms, tax breaks for investors, and being forced to surrender their private property for the sake of developers' profits?
Try and get an original thought one friggin' time in your life

Here in Kansas, our illustrious governor cut taxes to zero for farmers and LLC's. A little loophole let them cut their personal taxes to zero as well. We're a little short on money here. What is hilarious to me is that western Kansas farmers....who are as red as red can be, ***** about the "takers" in our society (but vote for the Senators and Congressman that will keep those farm subsidies coming)... pay no state income tax.. and are concerned about the depletion of the Ogallala aquifer, which is their livelihood. So western Kansas legislators have proposed building a 400 mile aqueduct from the Missouri River in EASTERN Kansas....where we have to pay taxes...so they can have a water supply to sustain their livelihood. All I can say is look at your dry fields....you get what you pay for.

Kansas found out the hard way that the tax cuts passed by the republicans bankrupted their state so now they need to reverse all that BS and they just passed a tax increase. Yes, republican controlled legislature passed a tax increase.
The good thing is that business and farms do not have to suffer any, only the regular people are affected. Whew. That's a relief.

By the way, the republicans just voted in the largest tax increase in Kansas history.
Now, even though the sales tax will increase to 6.5%, it's not really a tax increase because Brownback said it follows income tax cuts from 3 years ago. How do you like them apples?
