I would bet that he has things setup and will continue to be setup so that he pays a very minimal amount. There is an angle here. These CEO's and Corporations now rely on and try to buy competitive advantages from the Government.

No longer capitalism, that is a Corporatist Oligarchy.

Question: how can somebody look like a liberal? Do liberals have a defining physical appearance?

Why do some people always focus the debate on the messenger and never the message.

Because the messenger's message is nefarious.

Same tired argument every time. Collectivism is all about the few controlling the many. How is that fair? As a CEO he should lead by example, open his wallet and give freely to the government instead of attempting to dictate what others should do.

I get what you're saying, but when you develop a total mistrust for liberal ideology (such as I have), then you begin to know who you're dealing with, and 8 times out of 10 i'm right!

On the opposite end of the spectrum, one doesn't need to question what a Gutter Liberal looks like when looking at the OWS protesters. The Granola Crunchies are a dead giveaway.

So debate or even attack the message, why the need to go after the messenger and ignore the message? According to you it should be very easy to do, or maybe not.

Because I work in the financial world and have in the past for very wealthy and I will tell you right now, no matter what they say, they will not pay alot in taxes... It is human nature... This is Democrat / Republican .. Atheist, Bible Beater etc

Higher taxes will not save our economy

Higher taxes will not save our economy

Repeat after me... Our economy has fundamental flaws right now. Democrat/Republican politicians and businesses are in bed. Businesses are able to make huge bets and if they lose the taxpayers pay for IT.

Then those same parties want you to spend your time hating the otherside, while they both STEAL FROM YOU AND US.

Democrats are stealing too. Please open your eyes.
