This is absolutely disgusting and disgraceful. At least two percent of all corporate revenues and 35 % of corporate profits should be going into federal, state, and local treasuries to contribute to the well being and improved standard of living for all Americans. The amounts of the mandated funds should be indexed based on each corporation's bottom line, revenues, market share, and how much they are involved in operations overseas. Out of nation corporations should be paying a greater amount than domestically based corporations.-
The proposals by James Gustave Speth, an academician at Yale, in his recent book, are a substantive start in addressing the disease of corporations on our society and mankind.
