remember anti-corporate speak plays in the primaries but not in the general election. Corps do more good than harm and one should be careful going after industries because of the bad behaviour of a few. I will give an example. The private equity cap gains vs income debate overlooks the fact that the brits have been eating our lunch in private equity market. If you hurt our private equity guys my moving cap gains to income tax rates, you are hurting a robust industry and causing job loss. Its never as simple as it seems and for some unknown reason, americans for the most part get it unlike many europeans for example. Springsteen said it in Badlands "Poor men wanna be rich, rich men wanna be kings," Americans want the chance to grab the brass ring jimho.
