Tollmen Want a Free Ride

January 18th, 2007

by Eileen Welsome Texas Observer Blog: http://www.texasobserver.org/blog/?cat=6

Is there no end to what those pesky multinationals want? They’ve already been given taxpayer-supported loans, grants and roads. Now they want to get the Tax Code amended so they won’t have to pay any income tax on the booty they’ll be hauling back to Spain, Australia, or Sweden. At last month’s Texas Department of Transportation commission meeting, Coby Chase, the director of the department’s Government and Business Enterprise Division, said, TxDot would be working to get tax laws changed. “We’ll be working with Congress …to amend the Tax Code to exempt partnership distributions or corporate dividends related to the ownership of toll roads from income taxation.”
  1. Ricky’s Highway to Ruin

    Ricky’s just an incumbent highwayman deluxe!
    In the hip pocket of rich lobbyist’s tux.
    Covering Texas in cement.
    Knife to the heart of Texas is the intent.
    Your property may the next taken!

    Profits for his lu$h friends must not be forsaken!
    Extravagant Trans-Texas Corridor road.
    Rich construction contracts bestowed.
    Raging Texans have no doubt.
    Yea-sayers shout, ‘Ricky and his Santa Ana Turnpike OUT!’
