Oh I think they think it does.
My general point isn't that crony capitalism goes on. It totally does...
My point is that the corporations are more playing off each other in senators minds. For example, our corporate tax rate that's at 32%, Effectivly is like ~26% and is still higher then the rest of the world, but some corporations pay between 0-10%.
To most senators without the subsdies the corporate tax rate would be 26%. What's the old saying... robbing peter to feed paul or something?
This negativly effects people indirectly because it creates an uneven playing field among the 1%. Which is something that is generally missed by OWS and there railing against the "1%" in a general "all rich people suck and should be punished" type sentiment that seems to come from them... and something generally missed by regular people and senators. Though actually in general the public is genreally starting to see some of this stuff as bad. Actually thanks to the Tea Party more then anything. I mean hell, when Republicans are talking about farming subsidy cuts you know something is going on.
I can't help but look at New Zealand a country considered far more left wing then us... and there 0% corproate tax rates.
