I think the point is that if they can pay their CEO's more than they currently pay in taxes, then they can afford to pay a higher tax rate.
(despite what the MSM tells you)

obama could afford to pay higher taxes also, but he, like the corps., chose to take advantage of every loophole and deduction allowed...

i don't see anything in the media about that.

wonder why?

oh, yeah, i know why...it's the msm...
and bill.

Tr5y rading the report.

The point is not that they pay themselves what ever they want to; but that the CEO's and te companies get huge, undeserved tax breaks for doing so.

In tea-bag talk, the exemptions and loopholes are a distortion on the market.

Keep on chugging that corporate cock.

What do we expect from the people who are SUPPOSED to represent us??

They represent THEMSELVES and all the other people who are as rich or richer than themselves (both repubs and dems).

Tax code favors those wealthy members of Congress and their corporate cronies, because they are the ones who write the rules.

Time has come to tighten up those loopholes.

Obama has done NOTHING to solve this problem.

Time for a change in LEADERSHIP.

<NoBama 2012>

Aren't these the companies Obama bailed out so they could donate to his campaign?

not exactly a balanced organization:

"Harvey Klehr, professor of politics and history at Emory University, in his 1988 book Far Left of Center: The American Radical Left Today said that IPS "serves as an intellectual nerve center for the radical movement, ranging from nuclear and anti-intervention issues to support for Marxist insurgencies."

no surprise they came out with anti-corporate diatribe.

Tax breaks . Dems believe they have the right to tax at %100 and anything less is a tax break.

Yesterday Obama in Iowa touting " TAX BREAKS " for wind generated energy.

LEFTY likes high taxes as they can sell " TAX BREAKS " to political thinking similar business folks and of course Cronies.

(that's because it has nothing to do with Obama, or Romney, or Biden, or Ryan, or Pelosi, or Boehner, or Reid, or McDonnell)
.
again.
a corporation that pays it's CEO's more than it pays in taxes can afford to pay a higher tax rate.
.
this article also PROVES that lower corporate taxes doesn't equal job creation, it equals higher CEO bonuses.

I know what you mean ...take Obama Crony Jeff Immelt for instance.

In 2010 Jeff Immelt , crony of Obama and GE CEO , received $15+ Million in salary and bonus. But GE cleared $14B in profit and paid ZERO-ZILCH-NADA-Noyhing in taxes.

You are so right , cronyism is profitable.

Why is it when people want corporations to pay their fair share in taxes they are 'punishing success' but when workers demand a fair shake and a living wage it somehow becomes 'class warfare'? Amazing how many americans are willing to live on their knees worshiping corporate thieves!

GE gave Obama 38k and Romney 145K.

i thought taxes were about FAIRNESS, not what someone can AFFORD. under your theory, if a corporation or individual has anything left over at the end of the year, the government should surely be able to come in and use it for their own purposes. problem with your theory is that people see the way the government squanders taxpayer monies, and want to pay less and less....

it's ironic how many people think this is some sort of partisan issue, or a contest.
it's not.

you should read the article, because this comment makes you sound ignorant, and those of us that know you are fully aware that you aren't ignorant.

i was responding to your comment that if a company pays its CEO more than the tax it pays, then it can afford to pay more in tax. a whole lot of people can pay more tax, but does that mean they SHOULD? this whole issue is about loopholes in the tax code. something that this administration has not even touched, even when it had both house and senate. crying about rich CEOs helps turn attention away from the abysmal economy and abysmal record of this president. it's da rich man's fault. he gwine put you peeps in chains. how low can you grovel???
