Discussing Corporate Taxes on Fox News, 10/17/08

I appeared on Fox News to discuss tax policy. As you can see, the Republican strategist I debate denies what the Bush administration's own Treasury Department reports: That America has the second lowest effective corporate tax rate in the world. See page 42 of this report:

In fact, according to our government, most corporations actually pay no taxes in the United States:

Way to hammer it home, David!!! Corporate welfare is what we've had for the last 8 years, but, you don't hear Republicans complaining about that kind of welfare. Thanks for sticking up for us, David!

KEEP MY TAXES LOW!!!!!! ITS NOT THE GOVERNMENTS MONEY! I WORKED FOR IT! GET YOUR GREEDY HANDS OUT OF MY WALLET!

Yes David because we all know accountants and tax lawyers are free, and small businesses can afford to take these tax doges..

Total cost of tax bill in the USA paid to government or Paid to accountants and lawyers is the highest in the developed world.

Sorry liberals

David, why do you even bother talking to these stupid unreasonable people. If I were a lesser man, I'd go postal on them all. There propaganda is an insult to people with even below average intelligence.

The FairTax proposed by Governor Huckabee was to be a 23% sales tax to replace income taxes. Although VAT taxes do to a certain extent promote financial prudence (tax on expenses) it is unfair on the middle class, as the rich spend less as a percentage of income. I agree that the IRS system is flawed but a system where VAT taxes and a singular income tax would be simpler and more beneficial to the middle class.

Gore wanted to know why he didn't win Tennessee. Read my lips, gun control. If not for this issue we wouldn't have had the Bush experience.

FOX, as usual, is up to its party politics. Anyone who views FOX as some sort of news outlet is an idiot. Typically, most of the "experts" are Republican ideologues, who spend most of their time lying, like Jennifer here.
