You must have missed Palins other proposal: eliminate all corporate welfare and all the loopholes, subsides and all forms of bailouts That's understood, since corporations would no longer being paying income taxes - except for bailouts.

I might have missed the point of your comment. If you are referring to what I wrote about corporations lobbying for laws that give them advantage, I'm talking about lobbying for laws within their respective industries that hinder others from competing (e.g. financial regulations, telecommunication regulations, medical industry regulations, etc).

The (only) taxes corporations should pay, are import tariffs at any point a product or raw material enters the United States.
“No loopholes, just one across the board import tariff.
Except on repatriated revenue, which should be tax-free. Anything which is imported during a product life-cycle is tariffed. Everything made in America, grown in America, or pumped out of the ground in America: ZERO corporate tax.
Not one penny.
Its not complicated. America first.”
This is a good idea. I doubt it could pass at any time in the immediate or even near future, but like the FairTax, is worth talking about, and fighting for, so that one day it might perhaps happen.

I think 1.2% falls with the margin of “Oh, wait, I was thinking of somebody else when you said ‘Huntsman’”.

Removing the corporate tax would cause an explosion of economic activity in this country...not to mention that corporations all over the world would rush to set up U.S. operations.True enough, but lowering it to 20% or 25% would accomplish the same thing at a somewhat slower rate without causing the sheeple the vapors over the thought of those evil corporations not paying anything. Although in reality, some of those which are politically connected not only do so, but collect millions in corporate welfare such as General Electric.

Well it’s my single issue, if we’re all single issue about something.
If I irritate any FReepers pounding on the issue, my apologies, but as you say I consider it worth standing up for so someday it might pass.
Certainly not trying to claim ownership of the issue though - welcome one and all to stick up for America First. What we’re doing now sure as heck isn’t working.

But reducing the rate leaves that ridiculous code in place. That most assuredly doesn't have the same effect.
What is needed is a new broom. A whole new system!

Removing the corporate tax would cause an explosion of economic activity in this country...not to mention that corporations all over the world would rush to set up U.S. operations. And think of the cost savings simply due to removal of the accounting and legal burden. At last, corporate decisions could be based on business strategy and not needlessly intertwined with tax complications. And what about the savings at the IRS. The only downside would be tax lawyers and accountants, those poor corporate lobbying firms in DC, and the those in Congress who are the beneficiaries of their largess...what a heartbreak to see those bums lose their shirts. Great points!! I wish every American could read your post. Sarah will no doubt bring forth what you have stated. She has clearly thought this through.
Freed from the insane government paperwork, the efficiency gains alone would add to the productive output.
Joseph Schumpeter's creative destruction would bring forth a dizzying array of advances in our society.

To: reasonisfaith
Think of how many jobs would be created. There will be such a labor shortage that people will hardly complain when Sarah succeeds in passing legislation eliminating government departments and hopefully laying off 100 of thousands of parasites. These so called government workers can get out in the "real world" and earn an honest living.
It will be a battle to downsize government, but I think off all those out there, Sarah is the only one with the drive and the tactical brilliance to accomplish it.

Did he slam Herman Cain for making the same proposal? You know, the successful Businessman guy who is running?
I would almost bet the DNC recruited him, but I’m not into that conspiracy stuff, or am I? The guy is a RINO on steroids.

Good! This guy is the worst poser out there, other than Myth. Saying he doesn’t like it means Palin’s on the right track.
