In reply to the discussion: Do you support concessions to banks to win elections? [View all]dawg
(10,777 posts)16. Actually, I already support corporate tax reform.
The U.S. needs to move to a territorial tax system for corporations that would not tax U.S. corporations on their income earned abroad. Such a change would allow those companies to bring foreign earnings back to the U.S. for investment or (more often) distribution to shareholders.
This is an issue where I am in partial agreement with many Republicans. (Of course, unlike the Republicans, I would offset the revenue losses with higher taxes on rich individuals.)
I only mention this because I think it is important to remember that all of us don't fall on the political spectrum somewhere between Bernie Sanders and Che Guevara.

Would supporting candidates (D) with deep Wall Street or Corporate ties be a similar compromise?

don't be absurd. People vote & donate to Democrats because their views align with Democrats.

No I'm not. People who donate to the DCCC understand that Democrats are heterodox
