Accountable.us: points out:
Billion dollar corporations are taking advantage of loopholes to pay tax rates far below the statutory corporate rate of 21%, and even lower than the 13.6% rate that the average American household paid in a recent year.
Just look at this chart, which shows how corporate tax rates have plummeted over the last 70 years:
The last 45 years, CEO pay has soared 1,209% compared to just a 15% increase for the average worker.
I’m shocked… over and over again. Soon I’ll be dead. When will Congress act? When will the American people be as concerned about this as they are about a football game or the next blockbuster movie? Corporate responsibility is too far down in most people’s list of priorities.
