It doesn't matter what they put in place for a tax % on corporations. It really doesn't. Corporations and their lobbyists are going to influence everything and find (and in many cases create) new loopholes, exploit old ones, make deductions ect ect ect. Set it at 98% who gives a crap. I will care about the corporate tax rates when corporations are actually expected to pay it.
This is purely political. Obama is putting a number out there to make people feel good. And a ton of poeple are going to buy into it and think it makes a difference. But set it at 28% or 35% or 42%. These large corporations are going to be paying less than 10%. This move changes nothing other than it will get Obama a few more votes. And in the end, like every politician, its not about what is best for America. It is not about improving our country. Its only about making people think you did something so you can harvest their vote and stay in office.
