I am not strawmanning anything. If anything this entire argument is a huge strawman. Implying what these corporations are doing is illegal ("they claim" and "dodging"). Strawmanning the concept that we have any right to tell a private company how much to pay it's employees.

Spending on unfunded tax cuts

Oxymoron. There is no such thing as unfunded tax cuts. That's like saying "dry water" or "sunny night time". You don't spend money that you didn't get, unless apparently you are the Federal government.

Medicare prescription drug plans and two wars,

This on the other hand is spending, and along with the trillions the Democratic controlled Congress used to bail out the automakers in order to keep those union contributors from loosing their overpaid jobs, banks and other thieves has got us into this hole. Sniveling about someone not paying enough is besides the point.

Cutting taxes even more in order to solve a problem that was caused in large part by cutting taxes is sheer lunacy.

There you go again, implying that rescinding tax cuts would:

A. Make a bit of difference in the multi trillion dollar debt the Federal government has spent itself into and
B. Does not perpetuate the tax and spend bad habits that got us into trouble in the first place.

Well wrong on both counts. It is our money that you want to steal and it has to stop somewhere. If that means the mighty Federal behemoth has to wither on the vine then so be it. I'm done putting up with it and I will vote and agitate against any politician who even suggests a tax hike in any form.
