Great view you have! Of course tomorrow you will here crickets chirping as these "mad as hell..." people return to trying to survive on what their boss pays.Anger is easy to provoke but solutions are hard to find and solutions that work are nearly impossible to put into action.
The crowd hisses and the performer bows knowing that people are happiest when they are bitching.
People are happiest when they have no reason to b--ch.
What? How dare you contradict me! I'm tellin'.
Oooops! Guess you just proved your point :)

Corporate Taxing You = Corporate Welfare, Curious
States offend common sense, by allowing corporations to keep state tax collections, to avoid state fiscal accounting. Could you imagine the public unable, disinterested, or so inattentive, as not notice the implications? Well here you have it; the public is willing to allow this bypass tax plan for the promise of jobs.
The legislators by offering these corporate subsidies to corporations in their states can also later threaten those corporations with the removal of those subsidies. Corporations who subscribe to these subsidies can lower their costs, claim higher incomes, and not worry about complex compliance rules including not actually offering jobs. Corporations who do not subscribe are thus put at disadvantage in creating new jobs, having no subsidy. The net effect is to put control into the hand of the legislators who can create jobs or deny jobs depending on their reelection concerns.
Corporations who subscribe and show enhancement on the bottom line, can increase the CEO's benefit package, and to lead you by the nose, to donate some of those profits to those same legislators and their Super Pacs to assure that this taxation corporate misrepresentation, bypasses the legislative expenditure rules requiring public accounting of all state revenues and expenditures. It is not the collusion that is surprising it the obvious flow of money and with money corruption. Using the desperation of the hopeful, to promise a known falsehood is the callousness of corruption that is money. Money if you haven't noticed protects itself.
The poor ignorant bamboozled public, unable to follow the money, supports the idea of job creation, and eternally bombarded by job creation propaganda demanding the belief that only business can create jobs, but this is betrayed by the facts hidden from view where the tax revenues are forked over directly corporations who claim that these taxes are needed to create jobs. Have you not heard the claim that taxes/government cannot create jobs, but taxes/corporations can? Just in case don' get it, public scrutiny is the operative word, government cannot work without it, but corporations cannot work with it. If you start to follow that were does it lead, secrecy of corporations trumps the pubic nature of governments. Sure there are government secrets, but only via the trust given to elected and recallable officials. Trust does not come from a pile of money and secrecy. Who was it that is creating those jobs, if not the workers who now do not contribute to the state coffers and subsidizing their own jobs? Who was it that said that, "workers will make the rope that they will then hang themself with"?
The governance potential is critically flawed, having politicians and muckymucks in the state tax revenues is bad enough, but with these players greasing their hands along with their corporate buddies, up there right in front of a blinded public, is disastrously criminal. The delegation of the authority of using tax monies, by corporations, must be held to public account. There no way to clean this up, except by forbidding the sleight of hand practices.
The workers are working themselves into bondage, force to complain aloud about taxes and malodorous government, and the dismal prospects of no future, and then blindly voting the most villainous cohort. When does the slave pay the tax of freedom, and willing it to the slave master? Is the queen bee the mother of a great hive, the master or the slave, if she does not produce health workers she is done in.
