"trickle down" economics doesn't work. the fact is that some of the biggest corporations in america barely foot their own tax bill, and in fact as we saw last year, some of them get taxpayer bailouts when they are deemed "too big to fail". would the federal government give any single person a bailout? this is what the guy was railing against in principle. there's no doubt that there are a lot of good things *some* companies do, but don't dismiss the fact that there are corporations out there who actually got big enough tax breaks that they paid zero in taxes, and some have done so for several years in a row.
