Something Tells Us Tax Dodgers Are in No Hurry to 'Fix the Debt'
Ladies and gentleman, meet the tax-dodging gazillionaires behind Fix the Debt, a billionaire-funded group of millionaire CEOs trying to take away your retirement security and raise your effective tax rate while lowering their own tax liability .
Fix the Debt bills itself as a “ non-partisan movement to put America on a better fiscal and economic path .” However, the group touts a non-specific tax plan that members are calling “ Simpson-Bowles Plus ,” a plan that cuts Social Security and Medicare benefits, guts tax credits and benefits that many working families rely on, widens tax incentives for corporations to offshore jobs and lowers tax rates for corporations and the wealthy. Basically, it’s a wish list for millionaire CEOs!
