Free Market means no tax breaks & loopholes for the rich!
Free Market means no tax breaks & loopholes for the rich!
The Issue
One of the basic foundational tenets of Capitalism is that the "free market" should determine a businesses success or failure. If this is the case, then why do so many big businesses that support the idea of capitalism also want excessive tax breaks and tax loopholes? They want their cake and eat it too. If the middle class, working class and those in poverty don't get breaks from the government, neither should big business. It's been proven time and time again this does not create job growth (most jobs created by smaller and mid-sized mom and pop type businesses, not the huge corporations which most benefit from the tax breaks and loopholes).
In addition we see such huge corporations getting rich not through the free market, but through exploitation of the rest of us. Such as all the companies involved in selling bad mortgages and taking insurance out to profit off of those mortgage failures. They're profiting by intentionally selling loans they knew people couldn't afford. No more! If companies want to be successful they need to do it without exploiting workers, customers and the environment and without asking for a handout!!!! What we say to them: FREE MARKET!
