Remember how the establishment media use to make a big deal out of the Bush girls when they would have their little brushes with the law.
Yet Obama has two relatives in this country illegally,with phony SS IDs, driving around drunk, and been doing it for 19 years. And not a peep out of the media.

Some companies pay their CEOs more than Uncle Sam, study says

It has become a bipartisan article of faith in some quarters that the income tax on U.S. corporations must be lowered.

But for many large U.S. companies, the burden of U.S. taxation pales in comparison with what they pay their chief executives, according to a study released Wednesday by the Institute of Policy Studies, a liberal think tank.

Of last year’s 100 highest-paid corporate executives in the United States, 25 earned more in pay than their company recorded as a tax expense in 2010.

Those 25 firms reported average global profits of $1.9 billion. Among the 25 were Verizon, Bank of New York Mellon, General Electric, Boeing and eBay.

“These individual CEOs are being rewarded for presiding over companies that dodge taxes,” said Chuck Collins, one of the study’s co-authors and a senior scholar at the Institute of Policy Studies. Eighteen of the 25 firms last year operated subsidiaries in countries that the U.S. Government Accountability Office and other groups have identified as tax havens, one of the report’s authors said.

For example, Bank of New York Mellon paid its chief executive Robert Kelly $19.4 million last year, while the company got $670 million in what amounted to a tax refund, according to the report. The company has 10 subsidiaries in foreign countries, the report said.

Kelly has complained about the high U.S. corporate tax rate in the company’s annual meetings.

I really don't care to much either way- I try to waste as little time as possible thinking about murderers- that is a jury and courts issue and the problem of the criminal.
Lock em up forever...kill em....whatever.....
We have such bigger issues to worry about in the world...IMO
All this fascination we see with the drama of murder trials is sort of indicative of our ill society.

I didn't say I wasn't pro-choice, I'm just against abortion. It shouldn't be illegal.

Just discouraged.

The GOP’s refusal to believe the world’s smartest people isn’t accidental. It’s smart strategy. As the party of business, the GOP has to oppose scientific findings that threaten business. That means denying climate change — because the reform to fix it would cost corporations money. That means pushing for the abolition of the EPA — because environmental regulations cost corporations money. ...

Gary,

I called McCain winning GOP primary (longshot) and Repubs taking the house.

aposgee,

We've also not had a "major" terrorist incident. And many small ones have been stopped, so the dollars have been well invested.

One reason for its woes is that low-cost Chinese manufacturers are building massive factories that have rapidly driven down the price of solar panels and shifted more than 50 percent of production to China
