“The idea that it should take more than a bare majority (of lawmakers) to raise taxes is a key part of the American identity,” he [Davis] said.

Oh good grief! Did the American identity begin with Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann of Southern California in 1978? That's when this nonsense of requiring super-majorities to raise taxes started. 

Why can't people on the right wing be honest? Must they always attempt to rewrite history, like when they claim the statues to the Confederate traitors weren't place during the Jim Crow era for the purpose of intimidating black citizens?

These proposals are nonsense on their faces. Corporations have seen their share of the tax burden shrink dramatically over the past quarter-century, and now they want to lock in their unfairly low payments. I hope my fellow citizens see through this game.
