Loopholes

President Obama has announced a plan to close loopholes in the tax process. He also plans on making US companies who have outsourced production to higher taxes. He even is planning on getting more information out of the tax havens around the world.

Sounds good. But is there any reality to his plan? Will Congress actually pass an enforceable bill with teeth that will harm their sponsors? What happens if the corporations simply start donating to the next guy or gal they can buy and the incumbent fades away at the next election?

Where is the plan to hold Congress accountable? They are spending like wild men/women right now and let's face it, that budget was full of a lot of Democratic pork. The President should get some laws on the books that makes Congress accountable, then go after business America. As long as Congress is allowed to let the right hand do one thing and the left hand another, corporate America will never be held accountable.

Its time we the people make Congress represent us and not the corporations. We are the majority, its about time they started acting in our best interests.

Its Common Sense!
