Personally, I don't care too much about corporate taxes. Business needs a little more freedom to do business. For me, it would be enough that GE does not get a refund - they're even with the house, so let us move on.
Where I would like to aim my guns would be the big earners - I'm talking about corporate officers and high-roller investors - the people that are raking in seven-figure sums. And the only way I would want them to have an out would be if they pulled all their business out of the US and got the hell outta Dodge. If you do business in the US then you owe Uncle Sam a cut of the action - no questions asked. You do have the right to an audit, and if you're a citizen you do have the right to speak your mind on how big of a cut you're giving... but that's about it.
One of the things that pisses me off the most is how things are shaping up. I remember seeing a film in school about the events leading up to the French Revolution and the Storming of the Bastille. One aristocrat notes how there are such a disproportionately large number of commoners to every aristocrat while another puts it off as nonsense for some silly reason or another.
The point is, the same holds true in the USA. There are far more Lower- and Middle-class citizens in the US then there are in the Upper-class. The Upper-class... represents a minority.
