[Senator Clay Davis]

Raising corporate taxes is a surefire way to ensure even more job losses. You think companies are just willingly taking on more tax without shifting that burden somewhere else? And in a down economy, they aren't counting on revenue increases, meaning cuts elsewhere and we all know what the easiest thing for companies to cut is.

The time to raise corporate taxes was years and years ago. But of course that's pretty much the PC's MO at this point: They should have done a lot of things years and years ago but it's always more important to get elected than to do what's best. And if that poll is even slightly accurate they'll pander some more to stay elected and once again the people will suffer in the long term. A minority government wouldn't suck though.
