Corporate Tax Cuts

I understand that Governor Sam Brownback is losing favor in Kansas. And why not? His idea of giving corporations tax breaks at the cost to workers is just plain stupid. It did nothing on the national level, and it sure isn’t going to do much on the local level.

I understand the theory. Allow Corporations more freedom, and they will hire more workers, making for a robust economy, but this does not happen. Corporations are going to make money. They have no allegiance to any state or country. When it cannot make a profit, it dies, and we know they aren’t going to do that. The corporation has no soul. It will do anything to keep profits for itself. Aiding the corporations is detrimental to workers. Look how corporations have gone to the cheapest labor market. An example is AT&T. I have U-Verse for my phone and computer. If you call tech support, you will get a non-American to help you. From what country will come your help? Who knows? And how much is this individual being paid? The answer is as low as the company can get away with. Naturally, they pay more than what the locals would get where they live, but it is still a pittance to the corporation. I have heard of companies in the high-tech industry that hire people, put them on a ship, and work them in shifts. As I have said, corporations have no soul.
