So you would be fine with making sure corporations have to pay whatever the appropriate corporate tax level is (currently 35% as I recall)? And you would be even happier with a reversal of the SCOTUS decision that equates a corporation and an individual?
I think corporations should pay tax (don't know about the top %) on their NET PROFITS, and they should be able to contribute as much money to whoever they want, just like anybody else should be able to. I was agreeing with your (apparent) frustration with the system as it is set up today regardless of ideology... the Democrats are NOT for "the people", any more that the Republicans are for "the corporations"... both parties are about THE MONEY, and not only maintaining their power but INCREASING their power because whoremongers (of any label) are never satisfied... "too much is never enough".
Between Oregon state and Federal (not counting workers-comp, SS, union dues, etc.) I have the better part of $1,000.00 a month CONFISCATED from my paycheck (not counting the wife's paycheck) before I even get it.... and for what, cowboy poetry festivals in NV? Air Force-1 vacations every other month? Foodstamps, prison expenses, and public education for illegals? Sweetheart pensions and benefits packages for public sector unions?
