I've got to see a near-complete elimination of loopholes, a slightly higher rate for companies who put labor overseas, and guarantees this won't just trickle down to the states.

Until then I reserve judgement... but the concept is good.

The devil is in the details. And our Congress SUCKS ASS when it comes to details.

No, I'm not.

I think this is decent policy if it passes as is.

I give up something I want, I get something I want.

Not sure what's so funny about this.

Moe claiming non partisanship while bitching exclusively about Obama and the dems is always lulzworthy

The only lulz is you guys thinking I am bitching about Obama.
This is exactly what the middle and right have asked for.
It is also exactly what many libs here on this board have moaned against.

Bitching about it..

The common complaint I've heard from the left here is that they are afraid of getting suckered into yet another situation where we compromise and the right doesn't.

IE - Tax Loopholes aren't closed and corporate taxes are decreased.

The combination of both the majority of the left on the outpost is fine with.

There are healthy post histories the last couple months filled with angst and name calling over breaks for big business.
The entire humor of this issue and this thread, is laughing at the predictable belly roll the left will do, and is now doing here, on this topic.
Laughing at Obama? No.
Laughing at the libs that will line up to claim how great this is and disregard all their previous ranting about the need for higher corporate taxes?
Oh yes!

Should be pretty easy to find then.

Otherwise I'm calling shenanigans on your assertion.

You are borrowing a page out of fox's playbook. Interject your own opinion as fact simply by adding the words 'some people say' to the statement.

Why don't you post a couple? And you do realize that closing loopholes and lowering statutory rates can lead to increased tax receipts...right? The effective tax rate for most US companies iirc is lower than the proposed 28%.

FWIW there are healthy post histories the past several years of you whining about Dems yet claiming non partisanship.

Again I will need to see some actual quotes to determine whether or not this is anything more than lame strawmanship. Who are all these "libs" calling for "higher corporate taxes?"
