The GOP Congress and Bush years will be looked back on for years by big business as the best of times. Competition was frowned upon, government regulation was changed to self regulation, war profiteering seemed to become patriotic to the GOP, taxes were cut and companies were allowed to easily move beyond the US borders in the name of free enterprise and now, the proof is there that big business is held to another standard in terms of taxes. We have problems ranging from banks begging for cash around the world, food crisis in terms of quality and quantity, higher cost of living and stagnant pay and now small business being punished while the big guys get another free ride. The best democracy money can buy.
The tax audit rates of the largest companies are less than half what they were 20 years ago while more small and mid-size businesses are coming under scrutiny, according to an organization that monitors the Internal Revenue Service.
