I agree and have said many times there is blame enough to go around.....
I too enjoy a good debate.

At NO point did I advocate not taxing corporations. What the point of the statement is, is that taxing a corporation or business does not have the same effect on them as it does on the individual. When business gets taxed, they simply figure that into the cost of doing business and raise prices accordingly to maintain a reasonable profit. If that cost becomes prohibitive, they simply stop doing business. How does that help the consumer? As far as Frank is concerned, or anyone else, I don't care if they are gay, straight, Vulcan, Klingon or Ferengi as long as they are honorable persons. Frank's problem is not his personal preferences but the fact that he is a complete IDIOT. He was the one to come out shortly before the 'meltdown' to assure us that "everything is fine, nothing to see here."
We also have quote 'ringing in our ears' too. Can you honestly be proud of "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country." ?
