Let's not be naive. The President has the power to introduce and direct legislation.

Obama never even submitted a health care bill to Congress until a few days ago. That's just sloppy. The best Presidents have all submitted bills to Congress. When Presidents DON'T direct Congress (and help make the deals that ensure bipartisan support) you see gridlock.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Sure it does. Expand or die is pretty much what it says. Your objections are noted, and ignored.

I'd be fine with corporations not paying taxes if they didn't have so many rights.

Noted and ignored rather than addressed?
Punishing past success seems a strange idea though

Wouldn't all the current manufacturing businesses just spin-off mini-factories?

It's Obama's fault because he can't grasp how jobs are created.

More government hoop-jumping is not a long-term solution to anything.

Ultimately, no corporate tax would be a good thing.

That wouldn't actually raise that much money, even if they currently paid no taxes.

It's why the personal income tax is the primary source of government revenue.
