I'm not for corporation's keeping it, although it probably is creating some jobs. 
But I'm also not for handing it over to the government where maybe $.10 of every dollar would get to the poor and the rest would be eaten by the insatiable Washington machine.  That's all they need is more money to blow on growing themselves.

Pity and annoyance are two different things, I pity you because even if the tax loopholes did get closed the dollar would get so undervalued that trillion you're talking about would be worthless, go and study about inflation and the way central banks steal our wealth before you decide to go into tax the rich troll mode on me, you don't even seem to realise how the economy works. If you got your trillion all that would happen is the central banks would print more, devalue it and then force you to sell off your valuables to them at a massive discount.

This type of thing is the whole reason that a currency like Bitcoin was invented and why the gap between the rich and poor exists on such a massive scale.

I'm saying that the problem runs deeper than large corporations, but if you want to think like that and get annoyed at others for thinking differently go ahead.

You do realise that the reason everyone's poor isn't because of tax loopholes right? Fixing these problems is pointless if no one bothers to acknowledge that the paper money system is completely useless, I can't help but pity people who think like this Sad.

In days, governments will discuss whether to plug a gigantic $1 trillion per year corporate tax loophole - enough money to end poverty, put every child in school, and double green investment! Most governments want powerful multinationals to pay these taxes, but the US and Canada are on the fence. To get a deal, we need them to feel the pressure.

$1 trillion is more than every country combined spends on their military. It's bigger than the budgets of 176 nations. It's $1000 each for every family on the planet. And believe it or not, it's the amount that our largest corporations and wealthiest individuals evade each year in taxes.

This should be a no-brainer. To massively boost our public finances in a time of painful cuts and debt, all we need to do is ensure that everyone pays the taxes they're supposed to. But big US corporations are fiercely lobbying to protect their dodgy practices. A massive public campaign will help identify and hold accountable the two leaders - President Obama and Prime Minister Harper, who are considering siding with corruption over this gigantic step forward for the planet. For the sake of almost every issue we care about, let's make sure they feel the heat!
