Corporate tax inversions hurt America

Few people — other than maybe a few masochists — enjoy paying their taxes each year. Generally, we feel the government is taking a big bite out of our paychecks and leaving us poor souls with scraps. Despite our moaning and groaning, most of us pay what we owe, and our threats to evade taxes or flee the country never come to fruition.

Darts and Laurels: Emmy's, Hannah Montana, political ads and ESPN

The Emmys were on Monday, and AMC smash hit “Breaking Bad” cleaned up for the fifth year in a row. Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn each won in their respective categories, as did Moira Walley-Beckett for writing “Ozymandias,” the show’s heart-stopping third-to-last episode. The show also won in the Outstanding Drama Series category, beating out other excellent series, including “Game of Thrones,” “True Detective” and “House of Cards.” “Breaking Bad” is undoubtedly one of the most innovative, complex and entertaining shows in modern TV history. It’s only fitting that Walter White goes out on top. We award a Crystal-Blue-Persuasion LAUREL to the Emmy voters.
