The danger in all this is the precedent it sets.

By definition, any type of a tax break any company takes (even a “green” credit) could eventually be seen as a “capital investment” by the federal government, which would allow them to socialize the company.

And let me be the first to point out just how effing disgusting it is that these commie m effers dare to use the term “capital investment.” Capital is something generated in the free market and invested in the free market. The “capital” they are investing is from CONFISCATED EARNINGS, confiscated from the private sector and that should be available to participants IN the private sector if it is to be invested at all.

These Statists have no gumption, no shame, no limits. They must be stopped.

Will this “rule” apply to educational institutions that receive government money.

I wonder if the cause of these “high bonuses” and salaries etc are the product of the Corporate Tax RATES and double taxation of payments to shares holders (DIVIDENDS) are at the roots of all this???? And who made that stupidity Law?

It seems today some GOPers suggested a 20% Corporate Rate as opposed to 40% (Plus the above indicated double taxation, plus City, State and then personal taxes.) A good idea, BUT why not a ZERO tax rate, honoring Obama, President ZERO? All know that Corporations do not pay taxes! The clients, customers, users, share holders and employees pay the taxes in terms called PRICE. IF a ZERO rate were guaranteed for 2 years, giving the accounting boys a chance to change things around, all that evaded tax stashed off shore would wash ashore eliminating the need for credit, causing the need for capital expenditures, hiring people and putting people to work. Thus we end the Trillion Dollar emergencies. But I guess as President ZERO wants a Federal Europe, he intends to cause as much mayhem as possible making it possible for One Worlders to take over (Yes, he hopes he is "The One", ZERO)
