1. What I am looking to hear from a corporation or politician - is why SHOULD they
be able to take this deduction?

It's easy for them to say, "Obama is costing us $100 Million over the next 3 years" but someone needs to ask them - do you think you should be able to deduct a tax-free subsidy? and why?

John Stewart or someone needs to ask one of these Repube politicians - "do you think companies should get to take this deduction???" I'm sure they would all say "No" because there really is no way to argue for it, but all the news media focuses on is the $100 million dollars the company is "losing".

That's like if I didn't pay my taxes for 5 years and then I get caught and say "Dang Obama just raised my tax rate 35% AND is making me pay a tax penalty!! but leaving out the part where I should have been paying them all along.
