But for far too long, lobbyists have rigged the tax code with loopholes that let some corporations pay nothing while others pay full freight. They’ve riddled it with giveaways the superrich don’t need, denying a break to middle class families who do. This year, we have an opportunity to change that. Let’s close loopholes so we stop rewarding companies that keep profits abroad, and reward those that invest in America. Let’s use those savings to rebuild our infrastructure and make it more attractive for companies to bring jobs home. Let’s simplify the system and let a small business owner file based on her actual bank statement, instead of the number of accountants she can afford. And let’s close the loopholes that lead to inequality by allowing the top one percent to avoid paying taxes on their accumulated wealth. We can use that money to help more families pay for childcare and send their kids to college.
CHADEMA ilikuwa imejipanga kuendesha kampeni yake na kuchukua hatamu za uongozi wa bila kutegemea watu kutoka CCM. Angalau hivyo ndivyo tulivyokuwa tumeaminishwa kwa kuangalia harakati zake na jinsi ilivyojieneza na kupeleka watu hadi “ngazi za chini”. Tuliaminishwa kuwa safari hii CDM itasimamisha mgombea kila jimbo na kuwa ina watu wa kutosha kushindana na mtu yeyote wa CCM. Tulikuwa tumeaminishwa kuwa CDM imejipanga na kujiandaa kwenda kwenye Uchaguzi Mkuu ikitegemea wanachama wetu ambao wameshirikiana na viongozi wao kukijenga chama kwa miaka hii mitano tangu Uchaguzi Mkuu wa 2010 na hata kabla. Ilipotokea nafasi ya kumpokea Mheshimiwa Lowassa mjadala mzito, mkali, wa kina na ambao ulitishia kukipasua chama ulifanyika.
