| Business. You don't have businesses, you don't have jobs. That said, the lowest "individual" tax rates in the world won't make a difference.
Federal corporate taxes in the U.S. hasn't been reduced since 1993 regardless of big or small governments.

| Big government IS big business. They seem to be the only ones who are allowed to profit from anything. If anyone else turns a profit then they automatically demonize them.

| Again, current and past big and small governments never tackled this important issue;
Federal corporate tax rates;
O - $50,000, 15%
$50,000 - $75,000, 25%
$75,000 - $100,000, 34%
$100,000 - $335,000, 39%
$335,000 - $10,000,000, 34%
$10,000,000 - $15,000,000, 35%
$15,000,000 - $18,333,333, 38%
$18,333,333 and up, 35%
The above is what's important for your big businesses, and these existing rates are counter productive.

| Of the choices I chose business bu big busines actually contributes very little it is small businesses that contribute the most of the taxable income .in other words it's small business that gets screwed the most by BIG government .Government does not create money ,save money or carfully spend money and the bigger it gets the faster it spends and the MORE it costs .we are being CZARED to bankruptcy .each "czar" he hires will have it's own staff to circumvent oversight by congress.BEND OVER PEOPLE obamas about to do you.the taxes it will require to promote the change will be the change .

| Why do you people believe "ONE MAN" runs the world?
You are duped 
Big business, big lobbyist, congress looks out for it's own.....
Government is raping us ALL and the CEOs and BIG BUSINESS are profiting
Get a clue and join together for a government "For the people".......
Blaming others for our lack of participation is not getting us anywhere.....
Just wrote another letter and making phone calls to my representatives
Bush was a patsy,, Obama has a great spirit, but cannot seem to unclog the toilet...
Too many turds in Washington and abroad....
Anarchy or a coupe,, what is next?

| Government, whether measured by spending, the deficit, the debt, the number of employees, or earmarked appropriations, expanded through the Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush Senior, and then shot rapidly northward after Republicans took control of the White House in 2001.
For conservatives, the story of big government conservatism has become a chapter in their own self-satisfied mythology.

| I believe the number is 70% of American businesses are labeled small business. Less than 10 employees. That's the mom and pop businesses that pay the most taxes. They can't afford to have attorneys and accountants on the payroll who take advantage of all the loopholes that congress and the senate leave open for them.
The days of representing the people is almost a thing of the past from our lawmakers. Like those people who voted for the American Idol contestants, they have their computers spew out tens of thousands votes. These people have software packages that do auto voting. Several were interviewed and would volunteer, I voted 85,000 times for x contestant. The network doesn't mind because it makes people think more are watching their show. Advertisers are sucked in for more $$$.
The same thing happens when issues are coming up. Many special interest groups flood emails with computer software designed to vote multiply times or send 'pat' responses for their cause.
And lobbyist are standing there in the halls of the legislature with sealed envelopes to hand out. We have video cameras inside congress and the senate, why not the hallways? Or the paparazzi following these lawmakers when they are out enjoying the dinners and parties funded by 'special interest groups and lobbyist'.
Big government takes care of big business, so big business can take care of congress and senators.

So knight, isn't it the time to stop lowering individual taxes, and take care of the above corporate rates that have been around for a long time?
In Canada, by 2012, the federal corporate tax rates will be lowered to 14% for small, medium, and big businesses...1.5% higher that Ireland.

I would LOVE to see this! Apparently political corruption is old news to the media 
There seem to be only 2 ways to reach Congress either lobbyist (money) or grass roots movements. I would love to see just one more special interest group formed
The individual american taxpayers

| Big government means little to no freedoms. Just look at N.Korea, Japan, China, Iran, and other countries with large government control. The people aren't even allowed to say anything bad about the government without being punished.
