It's time for corporations making record profits and others to give back to the community

Corporations that are making record profits right now, such as Exxon Mobil, and the Multi-billionaires, which are increasing in number, should be compelled to give Iraqi Refugees a way to a safe country as well as money for shelter and food for a year.

Why not? They mostly got rich because of this war, it's time for them to give something back and I think the way to do it is by helping out the people of Iraq.

1. Ha ha ha ha ha. It's their war! They ain't givin' nothin' back.

Congress won't tax them appropriately. They haven't even paid off the Valdez oil spill settlement. It seems like that happened in the 1930's by now.

They will steal and pollute and watch the world die.

2. They only consider

their stockholders and others in their tax bracket as "community". Everybody else is yoyo.

3. Warren Buffett agrees with you !

Warren Buffett Urges Higher Corporate Taxes
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0306-01.htm

"Corporate income taxes in fiscal 2003 accounted for 7.4% of all federal tax receipts, down from a post-war peak of 32% in 1952. With one exception (1983), last year�s percentage is the lowest recorded since data was first published in 1934. Even so, tax breaks for corporations (and their investors, particularly large ones) were a major part of the Administration�s 2002 and 2003 initiatives. If class warfare is being waged in America, my class is clearly winning."

4. Why do you think they gave so much to get the Repukes in power?

so they could give back to the community? Just the opposite, so that they could loot the public coffers.
