  1. Re:Pass a minimum tax rate for corporations on What the Top US Companies Pay In Taxes · · Score: 1

    I wish I had mod points, because that may be the biggest flamebait I've ever seen. Or you're being totally facetious.

    Being 'beholden to their corporate overlords' means that they support increasing the employment rate in their countries. I don't see this as a bad thing.

    They don't work. A friend of mine went and reviewed all the 'popular' browsers, down to Opera, and found that none of the adblockers work even close to as well as the one for Firefox. All these extra features, faster speed, whatever, don't equate to a better browsing experience when the Internet is full of ads.

    Have you used them?

    IE9 won't have Adblock, so who cares?

    Per capita, the U.S. gives more to charities than any other nation, and in total more than every other nation combined.

    And never before in U.S. history have people needed to go to the emergency room. How did our parents and grandparents manage in such a hostile and brutal world? Why is it that every old doctor and nurse I meet tells me they never turned down a patient in their whole career before the Government got involved in health care?

    Well, except for the Smithsonian, Hughes Medial Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, David and Lucile Packard Foundation, as well as countless private colleges and other philanthropic organizations. Do you think those were started by the Government?

    There is a very good reason for those numbers. The U.S. consumed more cigarettes per capita than any other nation on the planet, so life spans for people over the age of 50 are expected to be lower because of this.

    Adding 30,000,000 people to a public health insurance plan will definitely save us a lot of money?

    The richest people in the U.S. have, on average, shorter lives than those in nations with universal health care. And these people have access not only to the insurance policy of choice, but to the doctors and hospitals of choice as well.
