Peter Schiff was laughed at in 2006 by expert economists all over the major news networks.  While they were telling you to go buy houses, cars, and gifts, Schiff warned that the foundations of our economy were about to collapse.  Here is a nice little tribute to "Dr. Doom."
Peter Schiff is CEO of EuroPacific Capital and author of "Crash Proof: How to Profit from the Coming Economic Collapse", written in 2006.

Orwell Rolls in His Grave "Could a media system, controlled by a few global corporations with the ability to overwhelm all competing voices, be able to turn lies into truth?..." This chilling documentary film examines the relationship between the media, corporate America, and government. In a country where the "top 1% control 90% of the wealth", the film argues that the media system is nothing but a "subsidiary of corporate America."

    This ad, from Oregon's Yes on Measure 65 campaign urges voters to support Oregon's Non-Partisan Primary Initiative, to help give Independent Voters a bigger voice in the party dominated election process.  Would this be good for California too?

    According to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, California has the highest  corporate tax rate in the West. The state taxes companies a flat rate of 8.84 percent, which is lower than only nine states in the union. 

The video is a quick primer on the problems with high corporate tax rates on an international scale, but the same principles apply for the states. 

While conventional wisdom usually tells us that the poor and lower middle class will thrive if the government taxes corporations, the notion couldn't be more untrue. A high corporate tax rate forces those companies to hire fewer employees, reduce benefits, and pay their employees less. At the same time, the companies have to charge more for their products, which once again, hits the poor the hardest.
