*sigh* Those poooor corporations

[kierthos]

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley wants to get rid of the "massive" corporate income tax of 5% in South Carolina.

Because doing so will bring jobs here.

Uh huh.

Look, South Carolina already has a lower corporate income tax than it's neighbors AND the tax only applies (thanks to a 2007 law) to sales within the state (at least if you're a multi-state or multi-national company), so it's not like there's this gigantic, unwarranted burden on corporations here anyway.

But she must have believed Romney's bullshit, hook, line and sinker, when he said that 'Corporations are people'.

Having lived in a state with a slightly more than 5% income tax (Massachusetts) and worked for minimum wage, I will STILL say that I really didn't mind the tax deduction. Especially when I saw the good it brought, i.e. amazing public transit. But of course, people with the money to do whatever the fuck they please don't care about infrastructure that much. It makes sense.

...Bastards.
