Do you realize how much free shit large corporations get? Many don't pay any, zero, zilch, in taxes. They get huge tax giveaways anytime they threaten to move jobs.

Would you care to back up the "no taxes" statement with a documented example?

Many American companies are paying federal income taxes at far below the 35 percent rate often cited as the highest in the world. And many of the most profitable companies are effectively paying no taxes at all, according to a new report by the left-leaning Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ), which advocates for tax fairness.

The breakdown in moral values since the 1960s have created the conditions where a candidate like Sanders could actually be taken seriously and possibly even be elected President of what used to be the most capitalist society in history.
Libertarian types, or those that claim to be, have long asserted that values and morals have no connection with the size of government or economic freedom. I beg to differ. Once the family started to break down, and once parents stop disciplining their kids and started spoiling and coddling them, young people started taking drugs, partying, listening to rock music (nowadays rap), and generally misbehaving rather than studying or trying to improve themselves, this created downward mobility over the course of the past 3 generations. The idea that you work hard, buck up, and make opportunities for yourself died out along with other morals, while an entitlement mentality developed.
If the family unit hadn't broken down and respect for parents destroyed by the influences of popular culture, economic achievement wouldn't have declined. Now, these kids don't have the ability to succeed, especially against the workaholic foreigners and immigrants who have more traditional values. Yet, they want to be taken care of and will give up their freedom to the state in exchange for government handouts.

Yeah, they had a bunch of excuses as to why they didn't. I bet some idiots actually believe them.
