[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2154704, member: 12508"] manuevers Did I say I envy these people? No. And they do have it on their terms. Our Mr. Smith is a perfect example because he uses his wealth and power to secure even more wealth and power, both legislatively and by direct arm twisting. Smith obviously has been able to buy his way into Congress, which is evident by numerous FAA Reauthorization Act legislation manipulations that directly benefited Express. A few years ago, Fred leveraged Boeing by making additional orders for 777s contingent upon there not being any changes made to the RLA which would make it easier for employees to organize. He got his way, and both of the Washington State (read Boeing) senators were Democrats. So, hard evidence Van that our system works well for the rich and not so well for the rest of us little people. Here's another GOP talking point, the 35% corporate tax rate. Smith, Forbes, and the rest of them are always whining about this "burden", when the reality is that many large US corporations pay basically zero in taxes and reap huge benefits from states that give them tax breaks and various incentives. FedEx is always on the list of corporations that pay essentially nothing in taxes. [/QUOTE]
