Which is why we should eliminate the corporate income tax altogether. Allow ANY US domiciled corporation to keep 100% of its income - zero tax. Make the US the number one tax haven in the world.
The catch? The income that is exempted must have originated in the US. And to be considered domiciled in the US you must have at least 51% of senior (VP or higher) executives live/reside within the US for at least 183 days a year (meaning they pay personal income tax). That should encourage a lot of onshoring of production (much of which is kept overseas not because of the cost of manufacturing but because of the 39.6% corporate income tax) and bump up the income tax receipts nicely (VPs and execs tend to make lots of money, and would pay income taxes at the high end of the scale).
ADJUSTED gross income is not the same as actual income. Add in deductions for the kids and mortgage, and an AGI of $25K is easily hit with a person making the actual median of $51K per year, about double that you state.
Hey, quit showing up the fact that most of those who will vote in this US election haven't a bloody clue about how their Government works! What, you want them to get educated, and then really get pissed off about what the US Federal Government is actually doing versus what it was originally supposed to be limited to do? That's downright anarchist talk - where's the NSA and the CIA and rendition for you?
Trump is actually leading Clinton right now. Most other current polls show the same result, or have them tied. Given Trump just came out of a very nasty primary (as compared to the milquetoast competition on the Demcrat side), he will inevitably rise in the polls.
Talk to Europe and Asia, not the US. Most of the ME oil goes to Europe and Asia; the US is a small percentage of the total (we get most of our oil from domestic wells, followed by Canada, Mexico and Venezuela). You're getting the immigrants because you're buying their oil.

Dude, head over to the Taobao mall at 580 Nanjing Xi Lu (the fake market) and you can get a fake Apple Watch for $10. Runs a bastardized version of Android, actually does most of what people want the Apple Watch to do (view texts, appointments, etc), and the UI is spot-on to the Apple UI. Heck, for $30 you can get one with a 3G cellphone inside, just need your SIM card!
It's this great tool that, instead of allowing you to bunch up communications and save them to answer at your own time (like e-mail), and have fully searchable database tools, filesets, and other attachments (like e-mail), and receive on virtually every device on the face of the earth (like e-mail), and filter/organize conversations by threading on subject or people (like e-mail), it channels all communications into a free-for-all LOOK AT ME NOW/ANSWER ME!!! kind of IRC channel for everyone. But it's on the cloud, so you KNOW it's gotta be good!
Prior to the Act, any transport on rail that was entirely within a single State was free of regulation by Congress; it was not INTERstate, it was INTRAstate. With the creation of the Interstate system, all commerce was thus classified as Interstate, even if entirely within one State, on the claim that because it was using a Federally funded Interstate system, it must affect other Interstate traffic (even if by simple schedule management) and thus is actually an Interstate act and therefore subject to regulation.
Much like Wickard v. Filburn, this is a political-agenda driven perversion of the Constitution. Claiming that intrastate transit is actually Interstate (because it may - not does, but may - impact Interstate transit), or that growing food for your own consumption will affect the price of that same food in another State and this is Interstate commerce, has essentially given the US Federal Government unlimited power to regulate and control everything that anyone does at any time.
So the answer to the psycho neo-Nazi radicalizing wannabe is to NOT keep him away from others? Let him proselytize and spread his message to others, 24/7, in confined spaces? Really?
Don't worry, I'm sure he'll sue over the ever-changing sentencing and the UN and others will uphold his position that it's not humane to constantly change his sentence. And he'll walk free because it's the humane thing to do.
Wait, are you saying the UN person in charge of defining what actions would be considered torture (and thereby increase their ability to foster regulations relating to their area of expertise) believes that wearing handcuffs when moving from cell to cell is torture? That only having human interaction with your lawyers, loved ones who come to visit (if any) and the general guard staff is torture? Shocking, I say!
Maybe the problem is that when they are in prison they are able to corrupt and influence the minds of people who are only transitory in the prison system. Maybe those who turn to a life of crime after their first stint in jail do so because of the influence and "teaching" of those lifers. If you're sentenced to life in prison without parole, why should you keep the right to try to influence others? Especially when the crimes that got you committed in the first place were a "politically motivated" crime.
He actually has about 450 square feet (2 cells, each 110 square feet, and one living room at 230 square feet) to live in, not 70 square feet. In much of the world (Shanghai, Hong Kong, Manhattan, London)) that would be considered a fairly reasonably sized flat.
I think killing 77 children shows that Breivik really doesn't know how to relate to other humans. He forfeit his right to human interaction when he decided 77 others didn't deserve to live.
In many cultures in the US, you don't have any credibility or "gravitas" unless you've done a stint in prison. I don't think that holds true in Norway...
Guess what - retirees are NOT part of the work force! The labor participation rate only considers those of working age (typically 21 to 62) so retiring baby boomers have zero effect on the rate. Sorry to burst your bubble...
Sure it will - there are dozens of Disney movies to use! Pochahantas is done, but there's Snow White and the 7 Dwarves, Cinderella, The Jungle Book, and The Lion King to name a few. Reset them with some unobtanium, blue-skinned heros/heroines, and other animals on a different planet and you're set!

So she's pulling an "Asian Woman" Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson racket, then?

When your revenue drops 25% year-over-year in the biggest market in the world, yeah - it's time to start worrying.

It's OK, the Federal Government will bail out the automakers to cover the fines that the automakers need to pay the Federal Government!

Nah, they'll just use solar! That works in Alaska, right?
Over the last several election cycles the Democrats handily out-raised the Republicans.

Which multi-national does NOT have a domestic market?
