    Relative to ratings …
    Relative to ratings and comments, it is high. Those can be gamed too, but it is much trickier. Usually when the views are way high and the ratings and comments are much lower, it means the view count has been gamed. Their comment-to-view ratio is 1:100, and the ratings are worse. This is a red-flag.

    What amount of …
    What amount of views should there be?
    13336 isn’t that many.

    They create slave accounts and run auto-refresh programs to game the views up.

  4. bubba5000 says:

    How so?
    How so?

    13,000 views, 47 ratings, 135 comments. NewsPoliticsNews is committing fraud.

    Free

    These OECD …
    Free

    These OECD proposals have nothing to do with Corporations

    That is all a PR smoke screen

    Seriously dude, when did your Government ever tell you the truth?

  7. sugarpuddin88 says:

    Starrz88

    The OECD …
    Starrz88

    The OECD legal machinations have absolutely NOTING to do with corporations

    All of that talk is a smoke screen

    All of their intention is to prevent individuals from using offshore ICF etc benefits

    It has NOTHING to do with reclaiming corp monies

    Seriously now, when has the US Government ever told you the truth?

    Gimme a Break man!

  8. sugarpuddin88 says:

    From the day the US …
    From the day the US Constitution was adopted, right up to Geithner today, the people who profit from privately owned Central Banks, (Madison called them The Money Changers), have fought a running battle for control over who gets to print Americas money

    (Laws matter not; when you print the countries money you enslave them)

    The War of 1812 was the Wrath of Rothschild for revoking the Charter of the Federal Reserve Bank

    But later the FED Reserve came back bigger & stronger than ever before!

    I agree but i think …
    I agree but i think Americans will change their minds as the US dollar is worth less and less, and the Asian economies take over.

  10. freedomanddemocracy says:

    High Corporate …
    High Corporate taxes was the perfect strategy for the GOP. They knew they had the government ok for no taxation is safe heavens.

  11. freedomanddemocracy says:

    Reality check: you …
    Reality check: you need to tax the safe heavens and when they learn the lesson you can reduce the corporate taxation at the European level (they don’t have safe heavens). So GOP and Erin stop defending this bullshit. They protected the corporations and killed the middle clas and the small business the real American backbone

  12. freedomanddemocracy says:

    They invented the …
    They invented the idea of high corporate taxes so they could put their money in safe heavens to skip taxation. This way any time you attack the corporations they have the excuse for high taxes.

  13. 1foxtrot70 says:

    I have to agree …
    I have to agree with Erin’s comment at the end of her article. A flat tax would be excellent! But that will never happen as this is a common sense idea…as we all know COMMON SENSE will not be tolerated…

    I agree with Starrz88, YEAH!
    ERIN IS HOT!!!

  14. SucceedsAtWill says:

    the war of 1812 was …
    the war of 1812 was a war after the revolutionary war in which the british led canuks reliated for the US burning down their parliment by sneaking down the potomac and burning down the white house. 1,600 US soldiers died and it ended in a stalemate (pussy brits). what the are you talking about

  15. endsequence says:

    Reverting backwards …
    Reverting backwards in currency standards may be like trying to readopt slower bandwidth standardizations in an increasingly broadband market. I know most of us in America see a single currency system as something oh so evil; we seem to have a very romanticized view that is starting to clash an increasingly post-American world. I don’t think it’s time just yet for that, but globalization would seem to lean in that eventual direction. Our capitalism brought this radically changing world on.

  16. endsequence says:

    The problem I see …
    The problem I see though seems to be a generational one. Older forms of economics aren’t necessarily applicable in current global economies just because people from a vastly different generation of politics and economics saw viable ways to manage their standing systems. What you described doesn’t seem realistic in a world far more developed and with more complex economic tiers around the world. The rift in the debate seems to be globalization. It’s harder for econs to be isolationist.

  17. Starrz88 says:

    There is no defense …
    There is no defense for tax evasion. It’s a crime, and companies need to pay taxes too.

    But god Erin Burnett is hot.

  18. sugarpuddin88 says:

    I never indicated …
    I never indicated that I support a non-fiat currency

    America has successfully used non-fiat currencies in the past

    It is called Colonial Scrip. We issue it in proper proportion to make the goods and pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power and we have no interest to pay to no one. – Benjamin Franklin

  19. endsequence says:

    I may be missing …
    I may be missing out on some key reasons, but vast global economic expansion may have been a prediction that lead to economists finding a need for fiat currency rather than a more finite resource type currency such as the gold standard. Not a single government in the world uses gold standard anymore. I don’t think there is evil behind that, I bet there are more practical reasons. I don’t see how going back to gov. regulated currency helps global economic expansion. The FED is a corporation.

  20. sugarpuddin88 says:

    The Government is a …
    The Government is a growing Tumor & the illegal privately owned Federal Reserve Bank is its blood supply!

    Presidents have been assinated for trying to shut down the FED; the War of 1812 was punishment for Andrew Jackson taking us off the FED

    Americans have the Government they deserve!

  21. sugarpuddin88 says:

    There is no merit …
    There is no merit because the talk about getting at corporate profits is an absolute LIE!

  22. endsequence says:

    I find myself in …
    I find myself in the middle on this issue. There is merit in both arguments.

  23. sugarpuddin88 says:

    The smoke screen is …
    The smoke screen is that you THINK it has something to do with corporations

    It does NOT!

    The laws are only ramped toward individuals – It has absolutely NOTHING to do with CORPORATIONS

  24. endsequence says:

    I’ll buy that …
    I’ll buy that argument as soon as these big corporations stop holding out their hands for tax payer funded bail outs; all the while simultaneously engaging in other forms of tax evasion. How is that ethical? Why aren’t the beacon conglomerates of supposed pure Rand-Capitalism voicing out against all this obvious hypocrisy — if it is so obvious. There must be some complex underlying economic issue that all of us are failing to grasp. It may have to do with staring at data all day.

  25. ElPadreAmaru says:

    This is a smoke …
    This is a smoke screen??? Really? Have you seen the vulgar tax loopholes that corporations are privy to?
    Dude, don’t just repeat what Rush Limbo said, think for yourself.
