In case you’ve missed it, there’s some excellent political discussion going on in the comments of a previous post. The comments are in response to this post. Yes, I had to beg for comments, but it worked.
It’s mostly Derek and I going back and forth, but I think it’s good stuff. I find it interesting than Derek and I agree in principle on most issues, but can still find so many things to disagree about. :)
I found another good article on the differences between the candidates regarding oil company taxes. According to it, the oil companies already pay a higher tax rate than most corporations. Apparently they also have a lot of loopholes they can use to get out of those taxes. It doesn’t say how their effective tax rate compares with that of other corporations.
