Default Obama Wants to "Slash" Corporate tax Rates

So says US Today. In reality, this will raise business taxes. This is clearly leftist media carrying water for the White House.

The 64% tax on dividends is meant to force people to buy US government debt instead of stocks.

From what I understand the corporate tax cut is for the companies he likes and are his cronies. There will be no tax cuts for companies he hates such as gas and insurance. The burden will be placed on small businesses to make up the difference. Small businesses will begin laying off and so much for any kind of an economic recovery.
