Does anyone want to point out the richest corporation in the world is the US government. It employs more people than apple and ge and most corps combined.
What do they produce? Not much actually, many jobs that are protected by the law. Control? The government borrows against the future generations. Tax, don't have to pay no stinking tax... We are the government and we are the LAW. Really fuuucking sad.

The real problem is greedy people at all levels, that believe the government owes them a living.

Keep my social security money. I'm not like jimmy that believes he is ENTITLED. The laws are changing faster than he can change his dirty underwear. I feel sorry for all the people that bought into this big government B.S.

BIG GOVERNMENT is NEVER going to cover anyones sorry assses.

Jookeyman, since you seem like a reasonable person I will actually answer you in a serious fashion.
I am not just discussing our federal government. I am talking about government at all levels. Detroit among a few got their government in trouble with pay and pension plans that drained the system. The money making capitalist's fled. On a larger scale, all the liberals are SCREAMING about American companies "HIDING" their money overseas... Why? because liberal socialist thieving policies are running OUT of MONEY. 19 trillion in national debt is not enough. As the hidden gravy train starts to come to a grinding halt... Candidates like Sanders are out promoting a BIG GOVERNMENT socialist agenda, without providing any way to pay for it. Add in $300 claw hammers a $600 toilet seats for the navy, and all you have is a system that is ripe for total corruption.

What is so disturbing is this has become a movie theater, where the average person gets absorbed in NON REALITY of the movie. Absorbed by "Hope and Change"... The masses just like Jimmy Danger have become a part of the government will protect you theme, if you surrender your freedom. I have to say it can NOT protect you when it is driving corporations to flee America. Remember... Government does not pay taxes, and all government jobs are ONLY supported by what is starting to appear as legalized, socialist, theft.

Thanks for your comments Jookeyman.

I have been on this planet for almost 65 years. Until about 8 years ago I believed I lived in the best country in the world. Now, for 8 years, I have been told I was wrong. We have a black president and blacks are not happy. We have a whole generation of time out kids that embrace socialism and free stuff instead of hard work and personal responsibility. People immagrate here illegally and get more assistance than veterans. People who don't work get $10,000_$12,000 tax return checks but seniors get no cost of living increase on their social security. Congress passes laws and then exempt themselves from it. The rich used to invest in America, now they invest in the "global economy". How can we sell cars that cost $30,000 to people who make $10/hr? We are in debt up to our eyeballs and governments solution is print money, and push interest rates to zero. Our money is almost worthless, we have no industrial base, no living wage jobs. We can't buy homes, afford college, healthcare, save for retirement, or count on our government to do the right thing. We have a socialist and a soon to be indicted woman with no track record of success running against bible thumpers and military hawks! Only one person has his thumb on the problems this country faces. Trump will create jobs, shrink government, rebuild indusrty and therefore jobs that pay a living wage. He will make America great again. We have to see this happen.

was it high corporate taxes that caused The good American jobs to go overseas? or was it because you could pay an employee 30 cents an hour instead of $12.00 an hour.. either way, all that means less money at home to fix the problems like roads, bridges, schooling, soc. security raises for the elderly , I am now 60 years old, and I don't want Cruz to slash my benefit which is not a benefit because I PAID INTO IT since 1972i?

Dayne I agree. You have been deluded into paying into this system your whole life... Under penalty of law.
Corporations aren't fleeing just because of corporate taxes, as liberal thought would have you believe... They are trying to find a stable environment where the laws don't change, at the will of politics, that is struggling to find a way to PAY for all these entitlement programs.

I feel for you and you're dilemma. Jimmy doesn't see the big truth. Instead he chooses to insult me. GM went bankrupt because of unions and government regulations and a tax level they could no longer operate in. Big government stepped in and saved their sorry asses because of the impact to a huge tax paying base. Just like they stepped in to save Jimmy's sorry aaassss when he was about to lose his home. WTF!

First amendment allows me to speak out against BS. Second amendment GIVES ME THE RIGHT TO PROTECT MYSELF.

Very simple... Anyone else want to make stupid comments?

Just got my SS statement Friday. If I retire at 70 instead of 67, I get about $700 more per month. That's about 70% of my mortgage payments, which will still have 10 years to go at that point. Luckily my wife is 14 years younger than me, so I can live off her income while I goof off for my last few years!
