My pleasure, Linda.

I love the smell of WD in the morning…

You too, Angel.

5e, I liked your post because the subject is easy to lose the main point of. You are absolutely correct about corporate taxes. We shouldn’t blame the big money when they are using the rules put in place for them. It’s like blaming someone for using a golf rule to his advantage.

In government, it’s different though, if you don’t like the rule, you should elect someone with the guts to change it. Personally, I think the laws are already in place, they just get selectively enforced depending on the political winds and who’s in charge at the moment. Crony-capitalism and corruption are the problems, not the corporate tax rate. Both parties are guilty of it.

Solution? I’m thinking the lobbyists should be canned. Get the House members back answering to the their constituents and the Senators beholden to the State. Repeal the 17th! A good, healthy back and forth between the two houses is the way it should be.

All-in-all we might be, as Joan of Arggh says, ‘pushing a rope’.
But it’s better to speak up, than to not.

Thanks for a good post, 5e.

My brain farts all the time. Gotta drink less beer. Heh, like THAT’S going to happen. Thanks for the blogroll add, kind sir!
