I think Kindler is smarter than Hank McKinnell, although the WSJ piece you posted is not exactly complimentary. I find it strange that the CEO of a large US corporation is an Obama supporter; US corporate income-tax rates are the second highest in the world and Obama wants them to be even higher.
Inasmuch as the corporate income tax is a form of double taxation, I think the corporate income-tax rate ought to be zero and the income-tax rates on individuals’ dividends income ought to be the same as the rates on any other kind of income. JMHO, FWIW
