23. How could any good liberal/progressive not like this idea?
I really thought the people here were smarter. Kerry is talking about cutting the rate, but cutting loop holes. So it could be argued that in some cases he will be raising taxes on some corporations. Let us also not forget that there are corporations who use those loop holes to get REFUNDS. Kerry's plan will stop that. So here, here for proposing something that forces corporations to finally pay a their fare share and for proposing something that will make creating jobs a plus for corporations and not just an option of what to do with higher profits.

This is real progressive taxation at it's finest. Bush has bastardized the idea of progressive taxation. We all know how it works. Set a high tax rate and then create hundreds of loopholes so that the rich and corporations pay a lower rate than grandma on her Social Security. KERRY IS PROPOSING SOMETHING THAT PUTS THE PROGRESSIVE BACK IN CORPORATE TAXES. Learn to love it people. This guy is the Real Deal.
