High corporate taxes certainly help senators

I would like to hear a reporter ask Sen. Dick Durbin how having the highest corporate income taxes in the industrial world (more than double that of Canada, England and Ireland) helps the American worker.

I know it helps the Senate. The higher the corporate taxes, the more lobby money is spent by big corporations trying to get exemptions and tax breaks. The medium and smaller companies can't afford this expense.

How do high corporate taxes help U.S. companies compete, expand and hire more workers?
