Michelle Bachmann (R-Koch Industries): “In my perfect world we’d take the 35% corporate tax rate down to nine so that we’re the most competitive in the industrialized world. Zero out capital gains. Zero out the alternative minimum tax. Zero out the death tax.” A system in which 47% of Americans don’t pay any tax is ruinous for a democracy, she says, “because there is no tie to the government benefits that people demand. I think everyone should have to pay something.”
The party of the CEO also wants to get rid of the minimum wage, get rid of child labor laws, and get rid of environmental laws.
In our perfect world disgusting human beings that want to rob from the poor to give to the rich and destroy the planet to serve their super rich constituents wouldn't be anywhere near government.
BTW, the Republicans told us cutting taxes would lead to job creation so we cut taxes for most of the biggest corporations down to zero. And boy howdy did it create jobs... in China. Here it destroyed the tax base, exported our production capacity, destroyed the middle class, and exploded the national debt. That they continue to advocate for tax policy that's only good for the CEO and middle class in China and India should give every American pause.
