When Vice President Joe Biden was visiting a frozen custard shop, a store manager made a remark about lowering taxes. In response, an irritated Biden said, "why don't you say something nice instead of being a smartass all the time." We are in the midst of a severe economic downturn, and the federal government approved a $1 trillion "economic stimulus" package to reverse the trend. (The stimulus failed, as expected.) Businesses that are still operating do so under a heavy tax and regulatory burden, with more coming thanks to the Obama regime meddling in the health care system and other initiatives. It is reasonable, then, for businesses to hope for a lower tax burden so they can use that money to invest, hire more employees and expand the business. It's worked before, after all.
