I don't disagree, and I really am torn on this. Its just that the corporations benefit immensely from the government programs and funded infrastructure as well. Can I say that they should pay their fair share as a result of that though? Clearly no.....I'd be branded as a commie! Someone has to pay for that though, and because the corporations benefit along with the rest of us they should pay something.

I just think its a little more convoluted than the politicians would have us believe. Thats why I gravitate to the more moderate position here. Even if one party is totally right we're part of the way there that way!
