2014 NE Senate debate: on Corporations

Dave Domina: Stop allowing companies to outsource jobs

A: We cannot allow companies to get ever bigger, outsource more jobs, dry up more opportunities, or build taller barriers to entry for our aspiring independent businesses. We must be friendly to new businesses, and companies who want to compete fairly in America. Government must be about protecting the middle.

Dave Domina: Big corporations pay their fair share

"Deregulation with a reliance on huge wealth to do right by the people has never worked," Domina said during a telephone interview. "We need to return to a thoughtful, progressive tax system in which big corporations pay their fair share," he said. And that, in turn, would "drop the tax burden on average Nebraskans," he said.

Ben Sasse: FactCheck: stretched truth on job as management consultant

The resumes of Sasse (R, NE) and Cotton (D, AR) do not exactly fit the profile of populists. That is especially true for the lines dedicated to the Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Company, firms that advise corporations on strategy, efficiency and ways to increase profitability.

In Sasse's case, he has used ties to McKinsey to burnish his private sector credentials, but in the process, he has stretched the point. He says on his campaign website that he "joined McKinsey & Company, advising leaders in times of crisis." He was actually a "special adviser" to the firm, on an hourly contract--never an employee.
