You are 100% correct, Chick. But, you're wasting your time with her. Sadly, she is an angry, mean-spirited person that somehow thinks that her venom filled diatribe actually makes a difference to those who thoughtfully seek answers. I've had her on ignore for over a year now. Life is waaayy too short for people like that.
Worried about the federal deficit? Then you're worried about foreign tax havens, the use of which is costing the U.S. $150 billion per year in the form of lost tax revenues, according to academic studies cited by a recent report from U.S. PIRG, a left-leaning consumer group. To break it down, corporations account for $90 billion of the lost revenue, and individuals make up the other $60 billion.
Offshore tax evasion has become a hot-button issue of late, after a September Senate report alleged Apple, Google and Microsoft moved profits overseas in an aim to dodge taxes. Overall, U.S. companies are now holding a record $1.9 trillion of their profits abroad, according to a recent Bloomberg report.
Wow... Want to reduce the deficit by another $150 BILLION/Year?... Close the teabagger loopholes that the corporations, and the vultures like Mitt-Flop use...
Like tilting at windmills? That 150 billion can buy you a lot of politicians, from both parties.
