Of course, everyone bitches about tax breaks for the Big Business while the Little Guy, the Everyday Fella, and the Working Class all get Shafted. This is definitely not a post in defense of constant and consistent trampling of the Middle and Lower Classes. But there does need to be a standing consideration for Tax Breaks for Big Business. Remember, these are usually the Bastards you and I punch the clock for. The guys who put butter on our bread and keep our lights on. The Bastards that we – unfortunately, sometimes – work for.
So, let’s stipulate some Standing Rules for Tax Breaks for Big Business, Guidelines for squirming through the Loopholes, as it were…
- No less than 80% of employment must be kept within the United States’ borders, by U.S. Citizens.
- Any Company requesting a tax break must not have filed for Bankruptcy or used any funds of a Government Bail-Out nature in the past Ten Years.
- Companies must provide comprehensive and affordable Health Insurance Coverage to all employees (the better and more affordable the insurance, the better the tax break).
- Companies contribute to the Growth and Betterment of the Communities they reside in.
- The more Benefits provided to employees, the better the Tax Break.
- Tax Breaks are for the Company, not for the CEO, not for the President of This or That, not for Stockholders. Those all qualify as Individuals and will be Taxed as so.
- Attempts to misguide or misconstrue resources in order to attain Tax Breaks will involve penalties that do not leave the Employees hurt in any way, while those involved in any Cover-up will suffer.
And, I do think there should be Tax Breaks for the Americans working hard and trying to do the right thing. Instead of seeing our Tax Dollars fall into the lap of Succubi, those who Work to Maintain the System should be Benefited by the System…
- Independence of Government Aid.
- Maintaining Standing Employment for Five or more years with same Employer.
- Two children or less.
- Staying Married for Ten or more years (with same spouse…)
- Volunteer work in one’s Community (excluding any work done for a political affiliation).
- Pursuit of a Higher Education, on one’s own dime.
And I am sure there could be so many more additional criteria to such lists. What are some thoughts/opinions/contributions you may have?
