I don't buy the argument that a business doesn't pay taxes. The reason we IN FACT have corporate taxes and a graduated income tax is that those who can afford to pay more should. Pretty simple concept. Let me ask you this: Are you in favor of granting businesses tax breaks based on the number of jobs they create for Americans? Key phrase is "for Americans." The problem with rebating hundreds of millions of dollars for Big Business (as proposed by the economic recovery bill that passed the House 216-214 last week) is that some of these companies will take their half-billion and build a new plant in Shanghai. That might help you if you're a shareholder of Company X, but it doesn't help put a dent in our current 5.4% unemployment rate, does it?
