When you have one group pay less tax then another, one group is subsidizing the other. That's the definition of the word subsidy. ....and you avoided answering the actual question.

If not - why not?" > If you think that doing away with bogus tax > deductions for corporations will cause the price of goods to increase, > this is mildly good, imho.

It will only impact people who buy those goods - sounds familiar. Will cause an increase in the cost of certain goods only? I don't get that. All businesses will have to increase their prices even if they aren't over the AMT line because they buy good too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:253464 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
