lol...sure. If that was the only thing they did it would be great I guess. The facts are in front of your face..one makes a lot of money (private), one loses a lot (gov't).

Do you have an example of an efficient gov't controlled entity that you can point to for a reason NOT to privatize anything?

They will take in a lot more once the Bush tax cuts are repealed.

Only if we can get the loopholes closed for the richest companies who seem pretty good at hiding their fair share.

The "Bush Tax Cuts" do not need to be "repealed" they are scheduled to sunset.

And how is using existing "loopholes" (read "laws") hiding anything?

Apparently the second highest corporate tax rate in the world isn’t enough.

Keep soaking those evil corporations. Eventually all of our good paying jobs will go overseas.
