It
seems there is some confusion. So I'll restate my administration's
response to the Evil Ones one more time as clearly
as I can: |
|
1)
We're going to bomb the poorest, weakest, hungriest
country on Earth back to the stone age. |
2)
We're going to give our wealthiest corporations and individuals
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. |
Yes,
Billions. Tens--if not hundreds--of billions! |
|
On
Thursday we made great progress when the House passed the
Economic
Recovery Plan, which I supported vigorously.
This remarkable plan includes the following handouts
to our richest corporations and individuals:
|
|

requires sacrifice! |
billion$
this
year! |
How
we did it: (see
NYTimes 10-25) |
$25.4 |
We
repealed the Alternative Minimum Corporate Income Tax,
and we are going to refund all the money paid to this
tax by corporations dating back to 1986. IBM gets a check
for $1.4 billion alone! GM gets $832 million, and GE gets
$671! |
$39.3 |
Corporations
will get to write off 30% of the cost of future
capital investments--up to 3 years into the future. |
$4.7 |
Extending
from 2 to 5 years the period in which corporations can
offset previous years' tax bills with this year's losses. |
untold
billions! |
Reduce
the top rate on capital gains from 20% to 18%. |
