Internationalist Barons and Tax Inversions

Rampant internationalism that has been detrimental to American citizens for decades, and that should be dramatically scaled back, was a key platform issue in Mark Greene's campaign for Congress and was addressed as such in his voters' pamphlet entry.  For all the people who voted for the status quo in the Congressional primary last 5th of August, Burger King's move to Canada shouldn't have surprised any Smith voters.  Corrupt so-called American companies, but really internationalist ones with internationalist barons running them, are moving to foreign countries by the hundreds, maybe thousands, to take advantage of weak U.S. tax laws that allow them to get out of paying taxes that pays for the national infrastructure and educational development of the national workforce that they are dependent on.  

There will be no long essay about the intricacies of tax inversion, here, but Congress could put a stop to it with a simple bill.  Some commentators on MSNBC/TV were saying that Congress should lower corporate taxes so that they won't move, but that's not necessary and shouldn't be done.  The country needs all the funding from corporations that the current rate allows, given the huge budget deficit and other needs, including rebuilding infrastructure and college tuition costs relief.  By and large, the corporations are not in any financial trouble by any stretch of the imagination, but as rich as ever.  They are just greedy and want increasing gargantuan salaries for their CEOs and executives.  All Congress has to do, by making a law, is just say that corporations can no longer play these international shell games, but this won't happen anytime soon, because America gets exactly the Congress she elects, and to our dismay, this Congress is beholden to the internationalist barons that are wrecking the nation bit by bit.

Our Washington State Lieutenant Governor Candidate Blog

There will be a special place to write about the Lieutenant Governor 2016 election, which I'm in, and specifically Washington state issues and matters, generally, even when the election is over.  All of the recent Lieutenant Governor posts on FW Politics  will be carried over to the new blog, Washingtonian.   I am proud to be a natural-born American and a Washingtonian, and I will need your vote to stand up for the Common Man in our state and our nation.   [Originally posted on Washingtonian on April 29, 2016; revised on May 26, 2016.]

GMO Labeling I-1456 Is Still Active

Lieutenant Governor candidate Mark Greene is the sponsor of the current, active GMO labeling  Initiative 1456  (Maddy Reiman is co-sponsor), and the initiative committee still needs a bunch of signatures before July 8th to get this on the ballot.  The only logical way that enough signatures can be gathered, especially at this late date, is for 570 people to volunteer to get 570 signatures each, and they must be gathered before  July 5th  so that there will be enough time to mail them to the Federal Way headquarters, and then processed and taken to Olympia just a few days later . If possible, please, write today or tomorrow and make a firm commitment to get at least 500 signatures, and you can do this by delegating other volunteers to get the aggregate 500 - 570 signatures you will need.     Remember, 4th of July activities and parades are just around the corner, so this would be an ideal time to take advantage of the large crowds at that time.  Time is short, so the

Mark Greene for Federal Way Mayor

I am officially announcing for Mayor of Federal Way, today, as I was able to obtain sufficient resources to file with the Elections Department on May 18th, 2017, and able to run a full campaign until the August 1st Primary, and hopefully beyond. This All-American Relief campaign will start picking up steam around the beginning of June, as now I'm concentrating on getting about 100 signs on the ground.  Next week, I will be sending out press releases to the major publications in our area: the  Times , the  News Tribune , and the  Mirror.   For more information about this campaign of common sense philosophy and patriotic fervor, see my website and keep up with the posts on this blog, as they usually come about twice a week or more. -- Mark Greene, Official Candidate for Mayor of Federal Way Campaign Website:  ALL-AMERICAN RELIEF Campaign Blog:   FW Politics
