    It is the greatest motivation to set your kids up better than you had it. It is also very beneficial to established elites to ensure that no one else has the ability to grow businesses across generations. I thought leftists hated the rich, but out of ignorance, most of their cherished economic policies benefit the uber wealthy. Our entire government has lurched to the left economically for decades, and the wealth disparity grows faster than ever, lol.

    Why doesn't anyone see this corporate tax reduction as a good thing? Can you layout specifically why you oppose it? Also, if possible, leave out emotion and slander; lets just discuss facts please.

    It's clear you have zero idea of what you are talking about. Why not educate yourself on the subject before deciding? I would start with researching foundations, and then, go to solid asset transfers being at a disadvantage in inheritance transfers in comparison to liquid assets.

    No they are not. Those are largely the situations where the tax cannot be avoided.

    Because redstates have the highest percentage of blacks who disproportionately pay little if any taxes.

    Actually it is the first step towards putting people back to work earning more money saving more their own retirements and reforming the failing Social Security and Medicare programs to they are sustainable programs.

    Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday said the state is projected to run a $1.6 - Billion deficit by this summer.

    Brown’s budget advisors lowered the official tax revenue forecast, in part, because of slower than expected growth in wages.

    Brown proposed to address the deficit primarily by slowing the growth in spending on public schools by $1.7 billion, a change that brings funding down to the minimum required by formulas enshrined in California’s Constitution.

    Funny how slowing the growth in spending is not called a cut when a Democrat does it.

    The governor also proposed scrapping $1.5 billion worth of spending ideas left over from last year’s budget negotiations, including higher subsidies for child-care programs and awarding new college scholarships to California students from middle-class families.

    Advocates for social services, though, saw the budget plan as lacking any new strength for the state’s most needy.

    It's a good question: "Do you believe the public sector more efficiently allocates money to increase net productivity?"

    Democrats lined up and swore that they would just love to pay higher taxes when the Bush tax-cuts were passed, so now, they get to!

    Of course, it is the blacks that are at fault. FYI, 2/3 of rural counties are poor and Republican, maybe we should cut off their aid.

    There will be no allocation of money to increase net productivity. The only thing this will do is lead to stock buy backs and ****. No wage increases. No anything of value to real americans.

    Stock buy backs does not put money in a mattress. This will add money to private entities without the misapplication of government in the way. Government allocating economic capital is extremely inefficient and in most instances, benefits a slim few while creating bubbles of over investment in a sector that doesn't have enough inherent return to go around.

    For the rich, perhaps 30 something percent. For the middle class basically the tax code rate. Corporate taxes were 51 percent, and they probably paid in the 30s as well. Today corporations effective tax rate is around 15 percent, the rich, who make their money from investing, around 15. Way too low. When the tax rates were higher as I listed, the effective rates were higher than today. So not trying to fool anyone for I assumed if you are posting on a forum, you understand tax rates, past and present. And how they work out.
