US companies pay the highest taxes in the world. I have never understood why businesses are taxed at all. All it does is to make prices of things more expensive for consumers because a tax is just another expense to be passed along. In other words, biz taxes are just a covert tax on consumers and investors.

Isn't the WH getting a bit petty and vindictive? They attack Rush for a week. Now it's Jim Cramer. Must be a deliberate diversionary tactic.
Rick Lowry quoted at Betsy:
Obama exaggerated the downside of the economy two weeks ago so he could get more spending, and now he’s exaggerating its upside so he can get more spending. The fixed goal is more spending. The means — the rhetoric, the arguments, the assumptions — are flexible so long as they serve that ultimate goal.
The past few weeks should have cleared away the debate over Obama’s intentions — is he a pragmatist or an ideologue? Obama is a pragmatist in pursuit of an ideological prize, willing to zig and zag so long as his lodestar of expanded government is ahead of him.
