So apparently the Obama administration is pushing for “comprehensive†tax reform which is meant to address both the corporate tax and the income tax. The problem is they really only proposed an income tax plan and not a corp tax one.
A rather absurd stance IMO but the goal is definitely a good one. The biggest hurdle to it seems to be Republicans balking at the income tax changes and Democrats balking at the corp tax changes. It is a very important issue IMO and if Obama is a one term President and can walk out with Obamacare and comprehensive tax reform he will go down as a relatively active one term President.
You honestly believe that after all this time Obama is really interested in tax reform? As the man said, "There is a sucker born every minute."

A legitimate question because I see different numbers being presented - which percentage of the American population pays or is eligible to pay federal taxes?

99.5% if you include all federal taxes. Number was made up but you get the point. Almost everyone pays either or both of gas tax or payroll tax.
If you mean how many people pay net taxes after what they get back through the tax code, I dunno. The 53% number is obviously wrong because it doesn't figure in payroll tax. I would guess somewhere around 70% but I don't really know.

I don't really know either, Yuki. I have conflicting data on something that I would think could be calculated within acceptable - or +, with some degree of accuracy.

He is interested in raising taxes on the rich and that means changing corp taxes. He also wants to change the basis in which corp taxes are calculated in order to help the labor market compete globally.

Corporate tax reform in a vacuum while continuing to pile on debt is a pointless, deceptive circle jerk.
Carry on.
