Izibhamu ezinkulu ezidayiselwa intsha yaseMelika zenze inkampani ekhiqiza imikhono yekati yenza imali engaphezu kukaR16 billion kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, kubika ikomidi lenhlangano.
Ukukhangiswa kwezibhamu kubhekiswa ngqo emaqenjini entsha yabamhlophe, ngokusho kwekomidi lendlu nelibhekene nezinguquko.
Inkulumompikiswano yangemuva naphambili phakathi kwamaqembu ezepolitiki eMelika mayelana nemithetho yezibhamu iqhubekile njengoba ama-Democrats efuna ukuthi kuncishiswe ukuvikelwa kwabakhi bezibhamu uma imikhiqizo yabo imakethwa ngendlela eyingozi.
Izikhulu ngakolunye uhlangothi ziyaqhubeka nokugqugquzela ukuvikeleka okwengeziwe kwabakhi bezibhamu.
Ikomidi licele imininingwane ngamasu okumaketha kwabakhi bezibhamu abahlanu abahamba phambili kuleli kanye nemininingwane yokuthi balandelela kanjani ukusetshenziswa kwezibhamu.
“Imikhuba yebhizinisi yalaba bakhiqizi bezibhamu iyaphazamisa kakhulu, iyaxhaphaza futhi iwubudedengu,” kusho uCarolyn Maloney wase-New York onguSihlalo wekomidi ngokusho kwe-The Times.
“Basebenzisa amaqhinga okumakethela abantu abasha baze bavuse nezimpawu zokuthi abamhlophe. Sithole ukuthi kulezi zinkampani akukho neyodwa eyazihlupha ngokugcina irekhodi lokufa nokucekelwa phansi kwemikhiqizo yazo.”
Uphenyo lokwenziwa kwezibhamu lwaqala ngoNhlaba kulandela isigameko sokudubula esenzeka e-Texas esabulala izingane ezingu-19 nezingane ezimbili.
Iziphathimandla kulindeleke ukuthi zivotele ukuvinjelwa kwazo zonke izikhali zokuhlasela okokuqala ngqa kusukela ngo-1994, kodwa mancane amathuba okuthi ivoti liphasiswe libe ngokusemthethweni.
UJames Comer we-Republican uthe i-Democratic Party ibibheke iqembu elingafanele uma kukhulunywa ngezibhamu eMelika.
“Ama-Republican afuna ukukhomba izigebengu kanti ama-Democrats afuna ukukhomba abanikazi abasemthethweni futhi athathe izibhamu zabo. Abakhiqizi bezibhamu ababangeli ubugebengu obunodlame, izigebengu ezidala ubugebengu obunodlame.”
Umkhiqizi wezibhamu ohamba phambili owayekhona wenqaba ukuzibophezela ekudutshulweni kwabantu abaningi lapho kusetshenziswe khona isibhamu abasikhiqizile.
“Lezi zenzo zenziwa ngababulali. Ababulali ibona abanecala,” kusho owenkampani ekhiqiza izibhamu.
