1. as far as we can stick them up the CEO and Boards butts

using coinage not demand checks

2. We can start by making prisoners work free for the corporations...

Anyone else have some new ideas on how we can bend over for the corporations?

I got another one... corporations should be allowed to vote, since they are people!

3. it goes pretty high

From what I read in that article, some of those corporations get some pretty hefty tax refunds. IIRC, one corporation's refund was in the billions. However, most were just a few measly hundreds of millions.:shrug:

4. I still think we should offer a cut in the top rate in exchange for an AMT for Corporations

I would suggest the Alternative Minimum Tax for Corporations be 1% on net revenue.


This would stop Corporations from paying nothing. It can also be defended by saying that any Corporation paying a reasonable amount would not be affected by this change. We can also throw their words back at them about how high the taxes are by pointing out that if they are so high then this 1% won't matter.

5. Well, they are people

And lots of people are subject to the AMT.
