Chris, this is just great. Out of one side of his mouth, he bemoans high unemployment. Out of the other side, he wants to eliminate incentives for the very people who have money to spend (corporations with fat bank accounts) that money to create jobs. How f*cking stupid can someone be? And why in HELL should corporate jets be exempted from tax treatment that every other piece of personal property a business buys is entitled to? I buy a new computer, a new fork lift, a new dump truck or backhoe, I get to expense it. That's NOT a "loophole" by any reasonable definition. It is a highly stimulative tax provision. And when you eliminate it, you kill jobs.
