Taxing corporations is retarded. Corporations are what drives a prosperous society. The more corporations, the higher the standard of living.
Rich people on the other hand are fucking worthless. Their money rarely if ever leaves the circle jerk financial system of stocks, bonds, and OTC derivatives.
Tax rich people and dividend payments, not corporate profits.

Centrism is not an economic doctrine . Governments are not companies and do not have to balance their books. Governments don't have collaterals . The sole publisher of dollars (or euros) can not run out of dollars (or euros) . Nothing can ever be free, "free education" and "free medical care" are financed through taxation . Why some old people in the parliament should have the right do decide what substances adults use ? you think people should not be responsible for their lifestyle ? Socially libertarian today can always become very conservative five years into the future as social norms change .
If economic & political topics interest you then go on and read about them , the more you read the more you will think out of the circle .
