This is one of the current Republican talking points that should result in action. There are way too many special considerations given to corporations in this country which need to be replaced by an across the board lower tax rate on corporations and small businesses. One of the dirty secrets of the Democratic party is how much they have pushed for special consideration to corporations in a kind of race to the bottom.


A race between Romney and Obama gives me little hope that we will move away from this model.


This is also a major issue at the state and local level where states are willing to give away money to corporations in a desperate attempt to increase employment.

You could count on one hand and still have fingers left over for who isn't a bought & paid for corporatist puppet.

I think the Government should just stop picking the losers.

Yeah he is such a moron that he is one of the few that accurately predicted and warned of the housing bubble. He is such a moron because he is the only one that accurately represents the constitution and stands by it. He is such a moron because he is the only one that actually returns money to the government instead of finding useless & wasteful crap to spend it on.

What a moron, what we need is a committed Keynesian, crook and liar to keep running us into debt and poverty. Yeah that's the ticket.

That is the idea behind lowering the rate overall but the losers are really just picked by what is being subsidized by foreign nations.

Everyone predicted a housing bubble. Even USA today.


Few predicted the nature of the pop. All of this is way over his head.


RP considered the last 70 years of wage growth a bubble too. He is an idiot.

Well then... there you go. Let foreign companies and governments do all the work in that case and we can just buy from them. Which is pretty much what's been happening. If we let them do all the work the US doesn't have to waste millions of dollars on the "losers".

You could not be more hopelessly wrong. He called it long before others and he named the exact reasons why it would occur. http://youtu.be/A5nGCpzel6o
