Comments on: Chamber Of Commerce’s Stimulus: Cut Corporate Taxes, Prevent Employee Free Choice http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/01/07/chamber-stimulus/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:42:01 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: jps http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/01/07/chamber-stimulus/comment-page-1/#comment-3720 jps Thu, 08 Jan 2009 03:21:10 +0000 http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/01/07/chamber-stimulus/#comment-3720 Honestly have you people already forgotten the debates? The corporate tax cut is for small businesses. The effective tax rate on large for-profit businesses is going back up with re-focused audits, and the way I see it, the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy are going to expire before people get tired of Treasury securities, or at least back to the levels they were in September.

"a partner at David and Campbel in Peoria"... "a specialist in labor management relations who spoke about the possible effects the Employee Free Choice Ace will have on employers and then led a work-shop teaching employers how to keep their organizations union free." i wasn't able to hash it out with my usual letter-to-the-editor method, turning instead to preparing for christmas prep and space-invaders... had forgotten about it till now... i can't find the article online either... from my local daily, and they don't post all stories... well, it's not called "Chamber of Commerce and Employees". in mid-december, the chamber had a speaker come to town, s.central illinois, to speak about keeping unions out of business…

a Keith Braskich… “a partner at David and Campbel in Peoria”… “a specialist in labor management relations who spoke about the possible effects the Employee Free Choice Ace will have on employers and then led a work-shop teaching employers how to keep their organizations union free.”

i wasn’t able to hash it out with my usual letter-to-the-editor method, turning instead to preparing for christmas prep and space-invaders…

had forgotten about it till now… i can’t find the article online either… from my local daily, and they don’t post all stories…

well, it’s not called “Chamber of Commerce and Employees”.

Wasn't that a key platform stand for Obama, a 3% rise in personal income taxes for the wealthy? Pffftttt! Pffffttttt! Now change means No Change from W.

So how will cutting taxes on corporations help our credit crisis? $8.5 trillion in federal interventions did nothing to make credit more available. I especially don't understand Obama's plan to allow companies to retroactively apply losses to prior years. Citzens don't have that opportunity. It looks like corporafornication may be a bi-partisan project. With all the Rahm Emauel recruited Blue Dogs and remaining Repugs, the corporatocracy may just get its way.
