1. Close those loopholes. I do not know that it will do much increasing if loopholes aren't

addressed and since all of them are way smarter than me, I assume that is part of the deal too because I am sick and tired of corporations getting all the advantages of the U.S. yet not any of the responsibility.

2. Amen! The lobbyists probably wrote a lot of those bills to give corporations those advantages.

I would be shocked if most congresscritters even read those bills. It's past time to clean out the loopholes.

Tell it like it is, Joe! That little gem is destined to go down in history - heck, it may even wind up being Joe Biden's most memorable quote.

8. He may present himself as "Ordinary Joe" and may well even see himself that way...which is good.

But he will never be that to me again. He is Extraordinary Joe, now and forever.

So I don't want to hear those RW knuckle draggers tell us how Corporations will shut down,raise prices blah,blah,blah. I can still remember Mickey D's signs willing to pay about $7.00 per hour to get ANYONE to apply.

That was in the mid-90's.

12. Raising the corporate tax rate does nothing without closing the loopholes.

If a corporation pays $0 when the tax rate is 21%, they will pay $0 when the tax rate is 28%.
