Perhaps this explains why people of questionable stature like Abramoff & Associates and other lobbyists GALORE, LOVE and FULLY SUPPORT McSame.

Most companies in US avoid federal income taxes

Two-thirds of U.S. corporations paid no federal income taxes between 1998 and 2005, according to a new report from Congress.

The study by the Government Accountability Office, expected to be released Tuesday, said about 68 percent of foreign companies doing business in the U.S. avoided corporate taxes over the same period.

Collectively, the companies reported trillions of dollars in sales, according to GAO's estimate.

McSame has promised to make Bush's tax cuts for the Richest Americans PERMANENT and.....not only that but he promises to CUT CORPORATE TAXES!

Cut corporate taxes when less than 1/3 of the corporations are actually payting taxes. So if McSame becomes POTUS, less than 1/4 of the corporations will pay any taxes.

I guess that just leaves the Average Joe to pay ALL the taxes. That'right, the Average Citizen who is already facing the possibility of losing thier jobs, can't afford to buy a home, wondering how they are going to pay the rising costs of gas and groceries or send their kids to college, this Average Joe who will end up paying MORE TAXES in order to cover the steal and spend Republican Deficit spending.

Numbers of working poor increase

The number of low-income workers living in poor neighborhoods rose in 34 of 58 metro areas, mostly in the Northeast and Midwest, a study released Tuesday finds.
The economy played the largest role in concentrating poor workers in poor communities, a report by the Brookings Institution suggests.

"The people living in these communities are already at the margins," says Alan Berube, co-author of the report. "When things are booming, they get swept up in the growth, and when there's a downturn, they are the first to get affected."

Obviously McSame doesn't get this principle. McSame is not as bad as Bush, McSame is WORSE THAN Bush! Bush was born with that silver spoon in his mouth so he doesn't know any better. McSame married money so he SHOULD "understand the show".

So remember to re-elect Bush/McSame in 08! Giving all the tax breaks to Exxon and its executives while the rest of us struggle to get by!

UPDATE: In contrast to McSame's tax plan........

Obama's 'no income taxes on seniors'

If you're a senior citizen and make less than $50,000 a year, Barack Obama has a deal for you: the rest of your life free of federal income tax.

Oh yes, the Republicans and their surrogate mouthpieces will tell us It's a BAD idea BUT....it's a helluva lot better than cutting corporate taxes or giving ALL the tax breaks to the RICHEST Americans!

America's Middle Class Needs Right to Bargain, Secure Contracts -- Like CEOs Have

We have allowed that soulless, unpatriotic global-corporate mindset to control government policy. As a result, the rich have gotten richer while the middle class has paid the bill and gone bankrupt. The great builder and protector of the middle class, collective bargaining, has been eroded by deliberate corporate actions over the past quarter century. Meanwhile, the national debt has increased; inflation and unemployment are up, and foreclosure signs mar every neighborhood.

Corporate lobbyists secured from compliant politicians so-called free trade agreements that have resulted in the loss of millions of good paying, often unionized manufacturing jobs. Those jobs have gone to third-world countries where investigations have shown workers often labor long, grueling hours and are not even paid their own countries' minimum wage. Then their products are shipped back to the U.S. to be sold at cheap prices at Wal-Mart by workers who are paid less than a living wage and are denied full-time status and health insurance.

He makes a very good point!

Add stubborn to the list of similarities between McSame and GW Bush!
