Don't you see what will happen? Corporations will leave for countries with lower corporate taxes (every country except Japan). Those who say will pass on the costs to you and me. Employees will get lower raises -- if any at all.
Corporations will ALWAYS pass on their additional costs to the consumer.
And yes, I'd rather give tax breaks to those who PRODUCE something of value for our country and for us. I'm not saying corporations should get a free pass. And I don't know how I feel about the bailout. I do know the alternative would have hit us like we haven't been hit since 1929. If that's OK by everyone, then fine. But at least understand what was at stake.
Obama couldn't even come up with anything to do about it at all -- what a leader he'll be!

I am not sure any Obama programs would cost any more than the war in Iraq has cost us...yet you have no problems with that piece of expense in life and treasure.
If we can afford to bomb the hell out of countries, it would stand to reason that we can afford the programs to assist our own.
