Dave Domina on Corporations

 

 


Stop allowing companies to outsource jobs

Q: How would you help Americans save so they can secure their future and live independently as they age?

A: We cannot allow companies to get ever bigger, outsource more jobs, dry up more opportunities, or build taller barriers to entry for our aspiring independent businesses. We must be friendly to new businesses, and companies who want to compete fairly in America. Government must be about protecting the middle.

Big corporations pay their fair share

Domina said he'll offer voters an opportunity for an independent, rather than a partisan, voice to represent Nebraskans in Washington. Specifically, Domina said, he'll point to differences on Social Security reform, tax policy, veterans benefits and whether there is a clear commitment not to shut down the federal government "as a political expression." And, Domina said, he expects to raise questions about Sasse's ties to campaign funding from special interests that oppose a federal farm program.

"Deregulation with a reliance on huge wealth to do right by the people has never worked," Domina said during a telephone interview. "We need to return to a thoughtful, progressive tax system in which big corporations pay their fair share," he said. And that, in turn, would "drop the tax burden on average Nebraskans," he said.

Huge corporations are not citizens

We cannot treat huge corporations as our legal equals . You and I are human beings. This is the first condition of citizenship. We have the right to vote. We have the right to due process. And we create corporations. They are not citizens.

Taking back our right to govern ourselves requires compromise, common ground, workable but less than perfect solutions, fixing and improving as we go onward. In a democracy we get some, not all, of what we each want.
