The money lost when corporations avoid their taxes by burying their booty offshore hurts the country they all say they love. But it’s also bad for business. Technology leaders Google and Microsoft both claim they have to look abroad for workers with the skills they need. Perhaps if Google and Microsoft invested in America by paying their taxes, rather than by shifting vast amounts of U.S. profits offshore, our schools would have the money they need to develop the strong math and science programs necessary to compete in a 21st century world.
“We’re an American company, and we’re proud to be an American company,” Apple CEO Tim Cook recently told the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. “We’re there because we love it there. It’s who we are as people.”
U.S. business leaders need to back up Cook’s message by replacing the Jolly Roger flying from their corporate flagpole and running up Old Glory instead.
Instead of gaming the tax system to boost corporate profits, American business leaders need to start investing more in this nation, which has done so much to make their companies great.

Let me be clear: I don’t believe that previously non-raping audience members are going to take to the streets in a rape mob after hearing one rape joke. That’s an absurd and insulting mischaracterization. But I do believe that comedy’s current permissiveness around cavalier, cruel, victim-targeting rape jokes contributes to (that’s contributes—not causes) a culture of young men who don’t understand what it means to take this stuff seriously.
And how did they try and prove me wrong? How did they try to demonstrate that comedy, in general, doesn’t have issues with women? By threatening to rape and kill me, telling me I’m just bitter because I’m too fat to get raped, and suggesting that the debate would have been better if it had just been Jim raping me.
This isn’t just coming from anonymous trolls. Local comics — whom I know and work with — have told me to shut the fuck up. One hopes I’ll fall down a flight of stairs. (He later apologized—to my boyfriend, not me.)
”This needs to fucking stop. This is an absolute invasion of women, this is disgusting, and this Tumblr needs to go away.
