His problem may be that he tilted openly toward business, and that that “take taxes off business” stuff isn’t playing too well post-TARP. And it shouldn’t, not when it’s disguised corpo-couponcutter moneygrubbing. “Tax them, not me.”
That’s why I’m personally in favor of a simple flat-rate income tax, no credits, no exemptions, no write-offs, no exceptions.
True enough, but I don’t put small businesses in the same category as the global monstrosities which get the majority of perks and make the most use of loopholes and cronyism.
Yes, customers love to pay businesses’ taxes for them...
because they don’t know they’re doing it LOL!
And if the businesses leave because of taxes just tax the ones left more to pay for more welfare for more unemployed (works in Illinois).
