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.

Republicans Turning to Citizens Party In Droves

The Republican Party in the 9th District of Washington has been pleasantly surprised by the success of my coalition campaign to attract all parties and my common sense platform to fix the economy, turn America inward from the foreign wilderness and to keep a traditional outlook in political affairs.  They also like the fact that if I became a congressman, that I would not be a puppet of Wall Street, but a representative of Main Street.  They know that I am a true friend of their party, and they want somebody in the General Election that has a real chance of winning, not another Postma or Muri that can only attract intra-party votes and has no real chance of succeeding in the radically redrawn New 9th District, especially with Basler, as the Seattle Times put it, hardly waging a campaign.   -- Mark Greene, candidate for Congress, Congressional District 9, Citizens Party Note:  I just found out that a prominent Ron Paul website has been playing up Adam Smith's Democrat chall
