Posted by P6 at February 22, 2004 03:15 PMI don't have as much problem with tax cuts for corporations as I do tax cuts for wealthy individuals, who then go and hoarde their wealth in tax shelters. There really is something to be said for the notion that corporations pass their taxes on to the rest of us in the form of higher prices. But I also realize that even that isn't always the case. Many times because of a highly competitive environment a company will be forced to absorb those costs. But a lot of this other stuff, about getting rid of inheritance taxes or claiming that outsourcing is a good thing because, as I heard one wonk say recently on a news show, it helps us to shed all the lower productivity jobs.
And Bush keeping his word! What word is that, I wonder? Are the Republicans now going to claim that he said when he was elected, er, I mean appointed, that he was planning on destroying 2.5 million jobs and getting us involved in nation building?
