"Corporate income taxes are different, of course, because if you're not fighting them you're losing big dollars. This country, if its leadership had any sense at all, would totally do away with the corporate income tax. If not that, at least cut it to something reasonable. You would quit driving business away from the US and make this the place for business to be. Along with it, you would create tons of jobs and investment here. The corporate income tax collected is simply not worth giving up the opportunity. Not sure why they can't see that." Part of the socialist dogma that democrats campaigns on is that corporations need to pay more taxes. They say false and stupid things like "You didn't build that." These betray their ideological brainwashing. After enough time of lying to the media and to anyone who will listen, they cannot return to honesty for fear of looking like a hypocrite. Of course eliminating the corporate tax would bring new business to America. So would eliminating the minimum wage. I fear that the feds would have to invalidate any and all local minimum wages if they did it. These are hot button issues pushed by those who want to increase the number of disaffected people to mobilize them into an army of deadbeats who want more free stuff (the FSA or free stuff army). The Occupy movement was an example of the success of their anti progress agenda. The bottom line is that even if democrats could see that high corporate tax rates drive away jobs, they are so committed to pushing the ideology of anti-corporatism they could never support the very policies that would help the American people.
