Meet The 31 Corporations and Banks That Dodged $128 Billion in US Taxes

Sen. Bernie Sanders released a report today directly taking on the Business Roundtable, by outing 31 banks and corporations who have dodged $128 billion in taxes.

According to the report, the 31 corporations and banks have dodged $128 billion in taxes by setting up offshore tax havens. They have received $6.5 billion in tax refunds, and $2.5 trillion in taxpayer bailout money. While stuffing their pockets with trillions of taxpayer dollars, the Business Roundtable has called for the deficit to be reduced by raising the eligibility age for Medicare and Social Security to 70, cut Social Security and veterans’ benefits, and increase taxes on working families.

The reason why congressional Republicans are adamantly opposed to generating new revenue through closing these loopholes is that doing so would force these tax dodgers to pay their fair share. For Republicans, the concept of fairness only applies to making sure the wealthy get more by doing less. One of the reasons why Republicans continue to lose elections is because they insist on protecting corporations and banks at the expense of the American people.

Instead of passing the burden of deficit reduction on to workers, seniors, the poor, and the middle class, how about we start with getting the 31 corporations and banks listed below to pay their taxes?

think i just threw up in my mouth a little bit.....

Guilty as Hell and free as a bird.  Were definitely not in America anymore.

There is a LITTLE MORE: www.gao.gov/products/GAO-11-696 or www.gao.gov/new.items/d11696.pdf This is the GAO "Snap Shot" of the FED July 21, 2011 Page 131 and there-a-bouts will provide MOST astounding information. Since that DATE it purhaps would be found to be addittional $ 2.5 Trillion per month IF it were checked. Then there is a 1996 Report concerning US Health and Human Services of up to $ 1 Trillion per year direct personal payouts, with now another $ 1Trillion per year direct personal payouts in another Health catagory. These two programs have been in-place since the early 1990's and were docuemented via their own numbers. Each and everyone of these actual reports can be very specific as to people, places, amounts and things across the board. The above illustrates another "PARCAL" payout system that is much larger yet. There are many more just like this. Breaking down just certain identified companies would litterally astound a planet and it's people. Example: GE was in deeper than Chysler & GM together as they were using the same finanical manipulation only larger. J.P. Set the larges record in history and is expanding it. Caterpillar made a few extra Billions out of yet another "payout". BlackRock - will prove to be UNBELIEVABLE, they are a whole new chapter. NASDAQ, if a real audit the Stock Market would not break $ 900.00. Then there is even more additional information concerning WHO REALLY OWNS WHAT. The others in the report also have some addittional "DIRTY LAUNDRY". If there were and actual ACCOUNTING "QUADRILLION" is the NEW DESIGNATER NUMBER. Ironically less than 300 people, with hundreds of helpers that took less than 1/10,000 of a cent on the dollar to ENABLE all of this and more. Wait till the Public and Others discovers what (d) means on the copies of stock and similar holdings. PERHAPS IT IS TIME FOR A REAL ACCOUNTING ACROSS the BOARD?

Dito... What Hollywood said.
