It's not OK for companies to be able to take advantage of the so called tax inversions loopholes where US companies can move their headquarters abroad, avoiding the taxman while keeping executives stateside, scoring government contracts, and taking full advantage of public benefits for employees!!!
According to Mother Jones here are some stats of accumulated offshore profits at end of 2013: General Electric: $110 billion Microsoft: $76.4 billion Pfizer: $69 billion Apple: $54.4 billions Exxon Mobil: $48 billion Citigroup: $43.8 billion Google: $38.9 billion Goldman Sachs: $22 billion Walmart: $19 billionMcDonald's: $16 billion

R E A L L Y Pfizer, how much friggin profits do you need!

When you're sitting, doing your taxes this year, ponder what would HAPPEN to you if you tried this little stunt!

IT IS NOT OKAY to assume or take things out of context before knowing what someone truly meant!

It is not okay for certain people to be tax exempt when the rest of us have to pay taxes.

It's NOT OK for any auto make ,let alone GM, to know there is a defective ignition switch for more than a decade and do absolutely nothing about it until their hand was forced! At least 124 people lost their life and that is NOT OK at all!

Not OK for the NBA to just simply suggest it was considering moving its next All-Star game, scheduled to take place in Charlotte North Carolina in 2017, because of the passing of House Bill 2!

Adam Silver, grow a pair and JUST DO IT!

For Mississippi’s governor Phil Bryant to sign into law the “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act” that protects “sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions,” of government employees and then BACKTRACK!

The law says that government employees who authorize or issue marriage licenses or perform marriages can recuse themselves due to their beliefs, so long as these licenses and marriages are “not impeded or delayed as a result of any recusal.” I believe this is what one calls covering their ass!

Tomorrow you try telling your boss, when they assign you a job you find moral or religiously objectionable, you'd like to 'recuse' yourself from it! See how that flies!!

It's not OK for Alabama Governor Robert Bentley to be such a massive hypocrite! Bentley (former church deacon) refereed to gays and lesbians as perverts who need serious punishment while he carried on an affair with a married aide, hiding her salary through a shady 501 (c) (4) organization as well as being accused of spending $1,700 on "burner" phones to conceal the relationship. While governor you slashed birth control funding, tried to 'regulate legal abortions out of existence" and denounced same-sex marriage as an unnatural "social experiment".

WHO needs punishment???????

It's not OK to excuse rapists because they had been drinking and then blame their victims for the same reason.

It is not okay for these obnoxiously high paid football players to get off so light on horrible crimes just because America loves football.

If I had been the one to decide Michael Vick's fate after he was found guilty, his football playing days would never have escalated above backyard football ... that is if he could still play when he was released from prison at 85 years old.

Vick was in the news recently. There were also photos of his canine victims. I cannot get that photo of the white pitbull hanging. He had tied up her legs, she was balled up, gritting her teeth... just trying to continue to live. I wanted to kill him all over again.

I don't have anything to say to anyone here or anywhere who defends him by stating he has done his time.

UPDATE: Gov. Robert Bentley resigned Monday 4/10/2017 rather than face impeachment and pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor campaign violations that arose during an investigation of his alleged affair with a top aide.
In a remarkable fall, the mild-mannered 74-year-old Republican and one-time Baptist deacon stepped down as the sex-tinged scandal gathered force over the past few days.

A plea agreement specified that Bentley must surrender campaign funds totaling nearly $37,000 within a week and perform 100 hours of community service as a physician. The dermatologist also cannot seek public office again.
