Second the Motion

If we people could only be as equal in the acquisition of wealth and tax loopholes as these two combined factors are acting in the United States. Those factors are paving the way for what should have been capital ventures to enable corporate employers to get employees to work, protect corporate interests, and assure corporate environments. It is becoming accustomed nature that laboring people are showing up at their places of employment on highways built by revenue taxed of their own earned incomes. We people should understand the fact that taxes pay for the way to make it possible to get to work and the way of American entitlement. Unless it is conceivable that when labor is increasingly taken out of the country there are corporations getting the tax breaks because there are less work bound employees jamming the highways. No, there is still a population moving on the above social resources and this is an imbalanced direction as less tax revenue is collected from lesser employed laborers. Don't be bullied by the hype that tax revenues are being labored by social budgets. There are plenty of programs such as the justice system for enforcement and sentencing, highway systems maintained through the seasons, fire protection services, public schools for educating prospective employees, and the very governments supporting the economy supplying what would be corporate risk if undertaken by capitalist minded purity. These programs enable the corporate financiers to direct dollars elsewhere when tax revenues that accomplish these social structures are left to be collected by others through tax loopholes. The loopholes are spiraling the people downward as corporations get tax breaks and look abroad to employ cheap and unrestricted labor that was once the mark of the early Industrial Age. Those marks have made people famous or infamous depending on what side of the economic equation a person lived. Today the standing unemployment rate is likely another calculation to include in the current momentum of a labor force that is also taxed for sustaining this unemployed group. Without the proper direction these ways in which we people are being hyped by corporate inertia are not up to speed with the taxed. Until every tax action represents a taxable reaction I ask for the motion in naming corporate contempt upon the Supreme Court decision where these entities are people, use social resources for financial gain, and do not pay taxes.
