Corporations are NOT sympathetic figures. We know that. YOU know that.
But you also know that YOUR fate is tied with THEIR fate. THEIR taxes are YOUR taxes.
That's why I told Congress to get rid of corporate income taxes using DownsizeDC.or’g campaign
Please do the same. You may borrow from or copy this letter:
I'm angered that Burger King has fled to Canada as a tax shelter.
But I'm not angered at Burger King, which has only done what it thinks is best for its shareholders.
I am, rather, angered at YOU.
It isn't Burger King that created the HIGHEST CORPORATE INCOME TAX in the world. YOU did that.
And I DO NOT CONSENT!
Why should even a PENNY toward a Whopper go to:
* tear-gassing peaceful protesters in Ferguson?
* funding ALL sides in a Middle East war?
* creating other havoc you impose?
YOUR policies give corporations the INCENTIVE to move away!
Why not, instead, bring jobs home? Abolishing corporate income taxes would…
* ATTRACT more companies
* EMPLOY more people
This is COMMON SENSE. But your policy is a real whopper.
Do the right thing. Represent ME. And…
ABOLISH CORPORATE INCOME TAXES!
