Please explain, if you can....

Why are tax payers required to annually contribute $4,000.00 each, to provide support for corporations?

Never have I heard of, much less been received a rebate or corporate shares for my "contributions" while also providing direct corporate profits via the purchase of their goods and services.

To add insult to injury, to be required to pay for the "free" local fire, police, schools and all other general services provided corporations only further increases to their profits.

When will taxpayer after-tax contributions to corporate america ever be credited let alone repaid?

And now, not only will american taxpayers be obligated to domestic corporations, but will now be required to pay, in after tax income, to foreign investors.

How is this even possible? When did voluntary foreign stock investors become eligible to receive funds from the tax dollars americans pay?

We cannot feed the hungry in america but we can make the poorest 90% of america to pay for non-contributing tax payers to invest in america, increasing foreign profitability as well as corporate americas bottom line.

The United States of America id dead. Long live USA.com, the new corporate slave state.
