Corporations don’t need a tax break

I found this article to be incredibly disappointing. Based on what I've been reading about Republican candidates, I would not be particularly pleased having any of them as my president. The alternative, of course, is Obama. One of the biggest things I like about the Democratic Party is its belief in equal, if not higher, taxes for big corporations. And in Obama's speeches, he has repeatedly made me think that he is planning on eliminating tax breaks for the wealthy, bringing in more revenue, decreasing the deficit, helping public education, etc. Yet this article tells me that he is cutting taxes for corporations just like everyone else. This was disappointing because I would like to believe that candidates are making decisions based on their economic views, not on their own personal interests. But seeing a Democrat cut taxes too, it's hard not to believe that there is some self-interest in this decision. I have heard a lot about Obama not accomplishing anything, but I thought he had good ideas and that maybe if we waited a little more he would start making changes based on those ideas. Unfortunately, this is really making me question my optimism. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I ever had any blind faith in the honesty and good intentions of politicians. But this is such a blatantly hypocritical move that it's really bringing me down. Hopefully the article was making it look worse than it was, but with their logos, which included numbers and all that, I'm not too hopeful. Since this is kind of depressing me, I think I will now stop blogging and go enjoy my vacation.
