Video: Another Bit At the Apple
Posted by Print

In this week’s “Freedom Minute,” CFIF’s Renee Giachino discusses how, in the midst of scandals surrounding Benghazi, the IRS and DOJ conducting surveillance on the media, Congress recently decided to scrutinize an iconic American company “for failing to pay taxes that it didn’t owe.”

Giachino points to this latest lunacy as further evidence supporting the need for corporate tax reform that includes lower rates to bring more business back to the United States, create more jobs and generate more revenue for the treasury.
