Can we have a corporate category. For all the companies like Apple that have so much money, they don't know what to do with it.
To be fair, at least, Apple deserves the money. They actually make something. Unlike pure, unadulterated thieves like Goldman Sacks.
hartmann argues if you raise taxes, people would funnel profits back into business in order to write it off.
if this is correct, that's rather counter-intuitive. an increase in taxes would actually produce jobs.
