Wow PJ, Sounds like you might be coming around to campaign finance reform. That is at the jest of what you are bitching about.
Furthermore....when people bitch about GE not paying their fair share of Federal Income tax but turn around and proclaim how many other taxes they do pay....well that is what many of us have been saying about people that do not pay Federal income taxes because they make so little. Yes they do not pay Federal taxes but they pay a shit pile of other taxes and those taxes are going up. In the state of Texas almost all fee's from student to driver licenses to parking tickets are going up. This hurts the poor and middle class the worst. Yet some on here still continue to argue that a company making 5 billion dollars should not pay taxes. What it amounts to is the job creators wanting to cut their taxes and let the middle class and poor pay for teachers salary and the like......
