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.

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

With the Press, Again

As long-time readers of my blogs know, my relationship with the media has been acrimonious at times, though I realize, of course, that the press is an essential part of politics and democracy in our nation, and of course the relationship between politicians and the press is going to be often disharmonious because they have distinctly different interests.  That doesn't mean that one or both sides cannot be at fault at varying times, and both sides often are. So with all that in mind, my first thought today is, though I am sure that the H-1B system for hiring temporary foreign workers has been widely abused, there is a big distinction between that system and the system for permanent residents being in the job market.  In the interest of my views being as publicly accurate as possible, I'll say this: I more or less support the law that infers that official permanent residents should be treated...
