2016 IA Senate race: on Corporations

Patty Judge: Our corporate tax code is broken; MNCs don't pay fair share

Patty Judge: Our tax code is broken and encourages companies to offshore profits and jobs. We need a tax code that puts working families first and ensures multinational corporations pay their fair share, which will also help balance the federal budget.

Tom Fiegen: Banks that are too big to fail are too big to exist

It is time to break up the largest financial institutions in the country. The six largest financial institutions in this country today hold assets equal to about 60% of the nation's gross domestic product. These six banks issue more than 2/3 of all credit cards and over 35% of all mortgages.

We must break up too-big-to-fail financial institutions. Those institutions received a $700 billion bailout from the US taxpayer, and more than $16 trillion in virtually zero-interest loans from the Federal Reserve. Despite that, financial institutions made over $152 billion in profit in 2014--the most profitable year on record, and three of the four largest financial institutions are 80% bigger today than they were before we bailed them out. ?
