Reply #3: I take issue with your post [View All]

I was a GOP member for many years and I know for a fact that there were many good people in the party, and there are still a few left today. Class warfare rhetoric like yours is precisely what keeps so many people in the GOP despite their dumbass posturing to religious right groups and dangerous neocon foreign policy. To give you a brief lesson from Economics 101, taxing corporations doesn't do anything other than pass the cost onto the consumer. A tax causes an increase in the company's total costs, and you can bet your ass they're not going to just take that extra cost on the chin. They're going to raise revenue by charging more. This makes a corporate tax, in essence, a sales tax - a regressive tax that disproportionately affects the poor.
