Well Mike I can see your point on some of the tax issues, sure having kids and being married does foster the economy by creating a larger consumer base. This in turn would yield more money going into the GDP and henceforth growing the American economy.

Near the end you state your theories on big corporations getting tax breaks. You would support them in their efforts to hurdle the US tax system. You sympathize with them based on the utility you receive from their products. I actually do nor see companies as getting bigger meaning that they will improve the quality of their products and make life better. Microsoft is a perfect example of a large company holding back technology. Walmart is a good example of large company getting so big they can afford to exploit workers and still make a profit in the face of legal fines. The economies of scale of car manufactures for example is something we can all relate to. The companies are so large and set in production they can only create limited and standard vehicles in which progress is very limited. Monopolies are nothing we have to worry about; as they are illegal. I know I mentioned Microsoft before and you might think they are a monopoly. But they are in a business in which the entry is very costly. Most companies plan is to make a normal profit. When company cannot produce a normal profit they close the doors. Competition as I see it is only a consumer dream. Companies know who is doing what and how much they are making so they don’t really need to compete they are out for themselves. You may have heard the term Oligopoly (omg I am economics nerd). Well they are the car, insurance, oil, and other such companies where they rule the market. I am much more worried that they will ruin the quality of products and not monopolies seizing hold because other companies go out of business due to taxes.

I argue that small companies help society innovate the most and would hope they receive the largest decreases in tax burdens.
