What a bunch of crap letting these companies avoid paying taxes by moving operations offshore and then awarding them government (read Republicans) contracts. But our resident zitidiots will defend them to the hilt while our fearless leaders stick it to the middle class.
Today I heard Dennis Hastert telling Hannity he was for eliminating the IRS. Hannity about busted a nut on the air. But rest assured if it came to pass it would be done equitably. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Thankfully, more and more Americans are wising up, both Dems and Repubs, see what is going on and know we are getting Cheneyed. Keep it up you arrogant right-wingers, your days are numbered.
As reported in an earlier Daily Mislead,[1] the Bush administration awarded
a $10 billion Department of Homeland Security contract to Accenture, a
company that based its headquarters in Bermuda to avoid paying U.S. taxes.
The move defied the President's promise to make sure everyone is "paying
their fair share."[2] As if the Administration's actions weren't enough,
yesterday the White House's Congressional allies defeated legislation that
would have stopped the contract.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Congress "bowed to Republican leaders" and
rejected legislation sponsored by Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) that
would have prevented the contract from moving forward.[3] Despite proponents
of the bill noting that Accenture "has shrunk its tax bill by moving its
headquarters to Bermuda,"[4] the White House's allies defeated the
legislation on a party line vote.
