Not really. You said that view was a simplistic view of economics and implied that it isn't the real world. It IS the real world, and many that are against corporate tax cuts, want to tax the heck out of companies, etc just don't understand it.

It's one thing for a party to stand up to the corporation... it's something totally different to deny or even consider the results of their actions.
In today's global economy, standing up to a corporation just makes it all the more likely that the company will move. We've seen corporate head offices move from Toronto to Calgary. What's stopping them from moving to Houston or anywhere else? Look to Paul Martin and CSL as an example...

I agree whole-heartedly. Unfortunately, we have to factor in what other countries in the world are doing. If they are making it more attractive for the companies to move there, we have to do something to make them want to stay. They won't do it on their own.
