The AMT cut was going to every company out there, not just Enron. Frankly, I'd rather get rid of the corporate income tax altogether. It only gets passed on to consumers, anyhow.

Right. That's why the Enron lobby was working this year to get it passed, and that's why the Congressional committee staffers added a few extra items for Enron. Nothing strange here, no politics involved at all. That's not why there was a big push for repeal of the AMT this year. Of course not. And it affects everyone, so it was not pushed for $100,000,000 for Enron. That would be crass. Besides, W said he was in favor of the stimulus bill with the repeal of the AMT, so Enron couldn't be involved in that.
