Big corporations hire people, build things, and create wealth. You get less of anything you tax, so of course, let's tax corporations into the ground. The only major corporations I hear of that aren't paying taxes are GE and Apple, both of which are in bed with the Obama regime.
We shouldn't be in Afghanistan. The majority of the 9-11 terrorists were Saudi nationals, so we retaliated against Afghanistan. Go figure.
