It was fairly in-depth on the radio, but it was another example of what I find infuriating about so much of the news - there wasn't enough information for me to look at the original sources without additional searching.
The web page on the story is much, much better, but still a bit too "both sides have a point"-ish for my taste.
The point of this gutting of the corporate tax code is to enrich Donnie and others who set up weird corporate structures to avoid paying taxes. That is all. Real corporations have all kinds of deductions and the rest to reduce their corporate taxes already.
(Of course, there are mom-and-pop businesses who do have real issues with the tax code, but anything the Teabaggers and Donnie want isn't going to help them.)
Cheers,
Scott.
