"What does your man, G.W.B., have to say about subsidies to corporations?"

I'm not sure, I hope he is against corporate welfare. I am referring to outright grants to corporations, not favorable tax treatment.

I'll bet though, he stops the assault on American business (Microsoft etc.)

Let me just say that I think it's deplorable to tax income either personal or corporate.

In the case of raising revenue from individuals, I prefer something more voluntary like retail tax, tolls, sin taxes etc, you know, the tourists.

As far as corporations go, you can't tax them.

I'm not saying you shouldn't (which I also believe)... I'm saying........YOU CAN'T!

Corporate income tax is just another cost of doing business which is passed on to the consumer who (through higher prices) winds up paying the tax, once again.

I know, I know, more than you asked, but you are fairly short on words.
