Yes, it's easy for the big players to avoid paying taxes in various ways. Furthermore, if the government does raise corporate taxes, you know what the corporations do? They simply raise the prices of their goods by a commensurate amount, and the general public pays the higher taxes for the corporation when they buy the damn stuff at the mall!!! So the little guy, meaning you and me, pays for every corporate tax raise....

Huckabee talks about that and a number of other interesting and scandalous things in his excellent material on reforming the tax system.

It makes for fascinating reading. I often find with presidential candidates of the more "maverick" (or outsider) sort that although I may disagree with much of what they stand for, they usually have a couple of really good ideas mixed in there too. Huckabee's ideas on tax reform were the best and sanest I have ever heard.
