At the end of the day …. “How U.S. Companies Profit From War”!!

~~September 30, 2015~~ 

WAR PROFITEER

A war profiteer is any person or organization that profits from warfare or by selling weapons and other goods to parties at war.

The term has strong, negative connotations. General profiteering may also occur in peace time. One example of war profiteers were the “shoddy” millionaires who allegedly sold recycled wool and cardboard shoes to soldiers during the American Civil War.

The term ‘war profiteer’ evokes two stereotypes in popular culture: the rich businessman who sells weapons to governments, and the semi-criminal black marketeer who sells goods to ordinary citizens.

In English-speaking countries this is particularly associated with Britain during World War II. The image of the ‘businessman profiteer‘ carries the implication of influence and power used to actively cause wars for personal gain, rather than merely passively profit from them. In the aftermath of World War I, such profiteers were widely asserted to have existed by both the Left, and the Right.

~How U.S. Companies Profit From War~

~Published on Sep 29, 2015~

The United States exports more weapons than any other nation – which means American companies profit from other countries’ wars.

Something to think about …. “Times are a’changing … Salk versus Shkreli”!!

~~September 23, 2015~~ 

GREED VERSUS COMPASSION

TOP: Hedge fund CEO, Martin Shkreli, who bought the rights to a 62-year old AIDS and cancer treatment and jacked up the price to profit from misery.
BOTTOM: Jonas Salk, who developed a cure to one of the world’s most debilitating illnesses and could’ve made millions … but he gave it away to help as many as possible.

Capitalism versus humanity.

Before people start saying Daraprim is not an AID’s drug, it is a immune infection fighting drug for AIDS patients who are not immune to fighting other bugs, so technically this is one of many drugs that AIDS patients do take to fight against their weak immune bodies.

Martin Shkreli, the controversial pharmaceutical CEO and former hedge fund manager, announced that he would reduce the price of the drug Daraprim to “a point that is more affordable.” Shkreli has been the subject of unrelenting criticism since he implemented a 5000% increase in the price of the drug — from $13.50 per pill to $750 — which is used to treat severe infections in AIDS patients and infants.

Shkreli, who talked to ABC News, declined to name the new price for the medicine, which has been on the market for 60 years. ABC described Shkreli as “the most hated man in America.”

While working at a company he founded called Retrophin, Shkreli had implemented a similar price hike on a kidney medicine. The Huffington Post reported that Shkeli “is part of a criminal investigation” involving Retrophin. He owes the company more than a half-million dollars.

After Getting Shamed For 5000% Hike, ‘Most Hated Man In America’ Will Lower Drug Price

From a Facebook Page I follow

Call me a cynic, but I’m willing to bet this was Shkreli’s plan the whole time.

He wanted to raise prices, but knew he’d get flak.

So he raised them an exorbitant amount, and now is seen to be “caving” — he’s dropping the prices, but NOT back to where they were.

So he’s probably getting the price increase he actually wanted.

And bear in mind what I said when I first posted about this story:

In Poland, you can buy 30 of these pills for about $10.

Why have they cost $13 apiece here?

Oh, that’s right: The Free Market.

Unfettered Capitalism.

America!

LOOPHOLES AND TAX “SHELTERS”

10 Big Corporate Tax Breaks, and Who Benefits

U.S. corporations — like many Americans — exploit every available rule in the tax code to minimize the taxes they pay. The United States has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, at 35 percent (not including any state levies), yet the actual amount in corporate taxes that the government collects (“the effective tax rate”) is lower than those of Germany, Canada, Japan and China, among others.

The reason is confusingly called “tax expenditures,” a doublespeak term designed to legitimize special interest tax breaks and loopholes.

With advice from the Urban Institute’s Eric Toder, one of the country’s foremost authorities on corporate tax policy, we assembled the 10 most costly corporate tax loopholes and who benefits from them.

Graduated Corporate Income

Inventory Property Sales

Research and Experimentation Tax Credit

Deferred Taxes for Financial Firms on Certain Income Earned Overseas

Alcohol Fuel Credit

Credit for Low-Income Housing Investments

Accelerated Depreciation of Machinery and Equipment

Deduction for Domestic Manufacturing

Exclusion of Interest on State and Local Bonds

Deferral of Income from Controlled Foreign Corporations

Thoughts for today, #158: “Powerful people don’t want Peace”!!

~~May 14, 2015~~ 

I was born and raised Catholic. I was a practicing, staunch believer. Not anymore. Slowly and surely I drifted away for a myriad of reasons.

The statements, beliefs and ideas of previous popes didn’t jive with mine. I’m still leery of the people of the cloth.

However, this Pope seems to have his feet firmly planted on earth and, in spite of his spiritual faith, seems to know the plight of the people.

I’m still watching and listening to what he says.

The “industry of death” exists in the world as many people in power live off war, Pope Francis told Italian schoolkids in the Vatican on Monday, May 11, 2015.

“Many powerful people don’t want peace because they live off war,” the Pontiff said as he met with pupils from Rome’s primary schools in the Nervi Audience Hall.

Talking to children during the audience organized by the Peace Factory Foundation, he explained that every war has the arms industry behind it.

“This is serious. Some powerful people make their living with the production of arms and sell them to one country for them to use against another country,” the Pope was cited by AGI news agency as saying.

The head of the Catholic Church labeled the arms trade “the industry of death, the greed that harms us all, the desire to have more money.”

“The economic system orbits around money and not men, women,” he told 7,000 kids present at the audience.

Despite the fact that wars “lose lives, health, education,” they are being waged to defend money and make even more profit, the Pope said.
