Loopholes for the rich should be stopped, right?

how about corporate welfare and bailouts - that's also undemocratic.

So why do they continue to exist?

Why? Because the right agree's with many of them and Obama has put corporate welfare into overdrive and the left is afraid to oppose him.

I am not a RWNJ nor a LWNJ, but i agree that all loans, welfare and bailouts should stop for everyone, including all businesses and corporations.

I agree, corporate and Hollywood welfare needs to stop but Obamas is all in to giving it. He's got to pay for it so he keeps trying to convince us that he needs to raise taxes again and again to pay for the corporate welfare.

I don't know why but the Right seems to love tax loopholes for corporations and the rich.

it does seem that way for sure.

but , I've changed wording now from 'rightists' to 'people', to account for a more general view.

perhaps this is not just a right v. left issue after all

probably for the same reason that liberals like to think that we the people are not paying enough taxes. when is enough tax become too much?

figure in all the taxes a person pays, and even democrats might think we pay too much tax.
