Про воробуржуев

Думаете только тимченки-ротенберги имеют близкие отношения с властью и воруют у народа страны, выводя потом деньги зарубеж? Ага, как же. Это всего лишь признак развитого капиталистического государства. Не верите? Вот данные от Берни Сандерса, социалистического кандидата в президенты США, сенатора от штата Вермонт.

1. General Electric
From 2008 to 2013, while GE made over $33.9 billion in United States profits, it received a total tax refund of more than $2.9 billion from the Internal Revenue Service.
G.E.’s effective U.S. corporate income tax rate over this six year period was -9 percent.
In 2012, GE stashed $108 billion in offshore tax havens to avoid paying income taxes. If this practice were outlawed, GE would have paid $37.8 billion in federal income taxes that year.
During the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve provided GE with $16 billion in financial assistance, at a time when its CEO Jeffrey Immelt was a director of the New York Federal Reserve.
GE has been a leader in outsourcing decent paying jobs to China, Mexico and other low-wage countries.
Mr. Immelt has a retirement account at General Electric worth an estimated $59 million and made $19 million in total compensation last year.
He is a member of the Business Roundtable, a group that wants to raise the eligibility age for Medicare and Social Security to 70, cut Social Security and veterans’ benefits, increase taxes on working families, and cut corporate taxes even further.
On December 6, 2002, Jeffrey Immelt said at an investors’ meeting, “When I am talking to GE managers, I talk China, China, China, China, China. You need to be there. You need to change the way people talk about it and how they get there. I am a nut on China. Outsourcing from China is going to grow to $5 billion. We are building a tech center in China. Every discussion today has to center on China. The cost basis is extremely attractive. You can take an 18 cubic foot refrigerator, make it in China, land it in the United States, and land it for less than we can make an 18 cubic foot refrigerator today, ourselves.”

2. Boeing
From 2008 to 2013, while Boeing made over $26.4 billion in U.S. profits, it received a total tax refund of $401 million from the IRS. Boeing’s effective U.S. corporate income tax rate over this six-year period was -2 percent.

Если коротко, то самые что ни на есть американские корпорации — Дженерал Электрик, Пфайзер, Мёрк, ФедЭкс, Ситигруп, Банк оф Америка, Верайзон — все они выводили свои заводы в страны третьего мира и/или свои финансовые активы в офшоры. Причем речь идет о сотнях миллиардов долларов уклонений от уплаты налогов и/или выплат достойных зарплат американцам. При этом сами корпорации наслаждаются социализмом — им из налогов граждан ДОПЛАЧИВАЮТ. Тот же Дженерал Электрик имеет налоговую ставку в МИНУС 9 процентов. Да-да, МИНУС. То есть, я вот из своих налогов плачу Дженер Электрик, что б они могли мне продавать произведенные в Китае приборы и получать с этого прибыль. Это не считая 108 миллиардов уведенных в офшоры только одной этой компанией.

Эй, бедофилы и поклонники обратного карго-культа, всё ещё считаете рашку самой вороватой страной с самым вороватой элитой и самым коррумпированным правительством? Кстати, несмотря на факты, никто наказан не был — да и как наказать, если конгрессмены и президенты отвечают не перед избирателями, а перед этими вот коллективными «роттенбергами-тимченко» под названием «кохи-рокфеллеры»?
