[Your Nightmare]

THe kennedy example is not related. First, we're discussing an increase in rate, not a decrease.

Really? I thought we were discussing dropping the corporate income tax rate to 0%. Isn't that a reduction? What rate are we discussing is going to increase?

In fact, the discussion was about ELIMINATING the rate, not decreasing it. It's like the Little Man (paraaphrased from Ogden Nash):

"I saw a man upon the stair
A little man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today--
Gee, I wish he'd go away!"

If it ain't there it can't be reduced - it's already gone.

I thought we were discussing dropping the corporate income tax rate to 0%.

You thought wrong. ANother poster and I were discussing results of increasing it to 95%. You got it backwards. No surprise.
