Zuck, I thought we were friends

You’re not gonna Like this. Facebook plans to Like tax loopholes this week — in a big way. And it’ll cost taxpayers billions.[1]

How is Facebook posting this mega tax break on its timeline? Well, “it’s complicated.” But basically, when the company goes public tomorrow, a major corporate tax loophole will give Facebook a $3 billion dollar tax break.

Tell JP Morgan: No Loopholes

Bankers on Wall Street wrecked our economy by taking reckless risks in pursuit of massive paydays. And, as JP Morgan has made clear, Wall Street learned nothing and is still gambling.

Mitt Romney, Bain Capital Defrauded U.S. Government of $25,000,000

Libertarian Review  Perhaps the most emphasized argument in favor of Mitt Romney is his business experience, mostly regarding his tenure at Bain Capital. His presidential campaign attempts to present him to voters as the man to tackle the nation’s economic problems because of his ‘wealth’ of economic savvy.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on just one of the business dealings that made Romney rich(er) and in turn molded him into the one candidate, as he claims, that can fix our countries economic woes.
