I wanted somewhere to keep this while I look this stuff up. I will make a quick note that I don't think the Boeing contract should count against it. They make planes. The government is paying them... to make planes. I don't see the issue here. The rest? Fuuucckkkk. If anyone has information that proves or disproves the above, I would appreciate it.

Ironically, I don't really want to be anti-corporate here. I think there's nothing wrong with the idea of corporations. Nor do I begrudge them a profit for goods and services rendered, that's how capitalism works and capitalism has been the best economic system for humanity so far.

Hell to be blunt I don't even see this as the corporations fault... Well mostly not their fault. Their job is to make to money. If they don't make money, they'll get replaced by someone who will. It is the government's job to keep them under control so their natural and good desire for profit doesn't end up butt fucking everyone else in sight without lube. I'm really getting into the belief that the government has not only failed in this recently but has been asleep on post for the last 2 decades or so.

This, as the saying goes, is not good.

Hahaha! Oh wow. These companies are making billions more in profit than I am and paying less taxes than I am.

That's complete horseshit and it needs to be fixed. I believe the proper procedure for this is to kick out senators until they get the hint that they can get all sorts of bonuses from companies but it's still the people that have to vote for them.
