Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[lee kramer]

You could have a real spirited debate about "entitlements." I'll mention just a couple; the oil depletion allowance. Brilliant in it's concept it saves the oil companies billions in taxes. Who can argue that in 200 or 300 years we use up all the oil. 'Course, I could argue that my brain cells are getting depleted too and that a brain cell depletion allowance could save me thousands a year in taxes.

The other is the tax rate that many corporations pay. For many it is zero, for many it is lower than mine. Corporations and their lobbyists write the tax laws and they're usually for their benefit.

One man's meat is another man's potatoes.

And the game is rigged.
