I fail to see how this correlates in telling the truth. Most mass media lies, this is extremely relevant in the fact that most European papers fail to report how global warming is a farce, among other things. The press in Europe is not free, and most press there is slanted to the political left. By the way, I'm not a teabagger if you're accusing me of one

You know the difference right?

One doesn't matter....one does.

You of course are harping on the one that doesn't matter.
The U.S. had an effective corporate tax rate of 27.6 percent.
Of course there're loophole that corporations like GE use so they don't pay taxes at all.

Where did I indicate they don't? Socialist leaders value hard work quite a bit so they have enough to themselves while they redistribute the crumbs.
