This was such a big winner for Clinton.
Nobody, but nobody likes large corporations. Do you really *love* the people you work for? Not your boss, or your cube mate. I mean the guy who roles into town once a year to talk about stock holder value and why your cubemate isn't here anymore, and how we all have to work harder?
Do you love the company that misbills you, slams your long distance bill? won't take a return without a receipt even if you used their own credit card to buy the product, sells you defetive merchandise, poisons your children's mind with commercials?
I think and End to Corporate Welfare is a winning issue. It needs to be couched in: now that we've been downsized and rightsized and otherwise made to play the Free Market Game, it's time for the Corporations to do the same.
I think we need to make it clear: tax break for wind power? Wonderful. Tax Break to help Congressman X's wind power turbine builder only, to help create jobs? No. Nope.
We also need to start taxing 100% of local "inducements" to corporations, to end the downward spiral to see which state in the U.S. can reach the Indonesian standad of living first. These distort the market, and allow the already property tax rich to take business away from locations that already need it.
