Why would they reject a tax cut???

If you have a better term than obstructionist for someone who rejects a tax-cut, then what would that word be?

Finally someone else who gets it.

Obama flat out lied to the American people about it too. He only helps his big business buddies. Screw the little guy.

Most of the loop-holes were lobbied for and put in to benefit the big corporations, and have no benefit for the small business, which is why the big business would be hurt by this while the small business would celebrate.

If you look its just a shift in taxes no corporations with increased revenues designed to spend more. After the stimulus turned out to be not infrastructure and jobs but special interest spending; not many are going to buy into what Obama says: IMO. Reform not just more tax and spend is what is needed and it ignores the big three needing reform.

How come you always start talking about other posters when you run out of arguments? Are you saying small business would NOT benefit from corporate tax cuts?

Lets see this secret "plan" first. I mean from the link I posted nobody even knew about this thing until they heard it on the news. Mr. Bipartisan Obama showing his true colors again. Probably will never even issue a written plan just say we need to do this and that and then scream about how nobody wants to work with me.

Because all these great stimulus and job creating programs are aimed at small business.

Yet once executed they all go towards donor paybacks or the big multi-nationals.
You have 4.5 years of bills to look at.

The darling of solar panels is and has been First Solar.
Did they get stimulus money to expand ?

What does this mean............

"use billions in revenues generated by a business tax overhaul to fund projects aimed at creating jobs"

That means small business will get hit with billions in new taxes and the evil corporations will get a tax cut. Liberals are apparently for all this. Why is the question. I mean these same folks have been ranting and raving about evil corporations for years now all of a sudden dear leader wants to cut their taxes and hit mom and pop to pay for more BS shovel ready jobs and it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Quite amazing.

Yes, that is always useful. Like I said they were going to be revealed at 2PM. WSJ predicts GOP will reject the proposal no matter what the details are, and I think most people know they are right.
