Patrick Looks To Close 7 Corporate Tax Loopholes

BOSTON -- House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi said Tuesday he opposes Gov. Deval Patrick's proposal to raise hundreds of millions of dollars by closing what he calls "corporate tax loopholes," setting up the new governor for what could be a major legislative battle.

Patrick's budget introduced last month includes $295 million of added revenue in 2008 and $500 million in 2009 from closing seven "tax loopholes." It's a cornerstone of Patrick's plan to pay for things including new police officers and expanded kindergarten programs.

But DiMasi said the House Ways and Means Committee's budget to be released April 11 would not include any new revenue from businesses.

Fleece the rich. Why should they have all the money anyhow, just because they earned it - it's only fair they should share it with those who don't.

Sound familiar, anyone???

When they're done fleecing the rich and still need more money to feed the welfare and social program addictions, who do you think they'll come after next? Someone making over $100,000 is already giving back 30% plus so that others don't have to go out and make their own way.

Why punish someone for being successful and good at what they do?
