Now back to the subject of coporate taxes, anyone that feels the company they own/run isn't paying enough taxes they can always pay more by not itemizing all that they itemize, a corparation does not have to right off anything they don't want to right off, only right off 50% something instead of 100%. The law says a corporation can right off things NOT they MUST right it off, there is a differance. As I have told many of my wealthy liberal friends and relatives if you don't think you are paying enough taxes take the standard deduction instead of itemzing, you'll being paying more in taxes like you want and I'll still able to itemize and pay less taxes like I want. That Ladies and Gentlemen is true bi-partisanship (well ok the last part was about personal taxes)

And I don't know what type of America you prefer, since you rarely have anything positive to say about your country.

I agree with you completely, Timber. It is a shame that we are fading (that is almost a shocking statement coming from me); we could probably write a 1000-page book about the reasons why and what to do to reverse this trend, though. For now, being critical of how things are is simply a first step.
