"All that kind of shenanigans can be avoided if they made th dividend deductible by corporations as I have been harping on for some time."

Zeev,
Believe the reason they dont do that is that many companies pay no tax at all already so it would have less of a stimulative or pro-market effect. At least thats the rationale. I have mixed emotions about it. Personally, i think its a strawman that will end up as a 50% dividend exclusion with a maximum allowable amount to be taken. Much ado about nothing imo. What about the rest of the tax cuts? Anything looking positive to you? marv

I'd like to see dividends deductible as an expense, similar to how interest is dedected as a line item, and options expensed in a similar fashion.

I'd like to see the executive compensation bubble burst. If it were not for options, much of the accounting problems would have been avoided.

I may be wrong, but I believe S-Corps have a 3% higher tax rate than a C corp in exchange for the unlimited dividend distribution right.
