If you’re a CEO of one of America’s largest corporations and have enjoyed the Presidency of George W. Bush, a contribution to the McCain campaign is looking like a pretty good investment.

A new report
from the Center For American Progress Action Fund finds that a key
piece of John McCain’s tax plan — cutting the corporate tax rate from
35% to 25% — would cut taxes by almost $45 billion every year for
America’s 200 largest corporations as identified by Fortune Magazine.

Eight companies — Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp., ConocoPhillips Co., Bank ƒƒof America Corp., AT&T, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Microsoft Corp. — would each receive over $1 billion a year.

The following table shows the tax savings to America’s five largest
firms. See a full list of all 200 companies and their savings under
McCain here:


These giveaways are just one part of McCain’s doubling of the Bush tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy which would create the largest deficits in 25 years and drive the United States into the deepest deficits since World War II.

A recent analysis by the Public Campaign Action Fund found that John McCain’s campaign has received $5.6 million from the PACs and executives of the Fortune 200.

Over the past eight years, under George W. Bush, American workers have seen their wages stagnate as corporate profits have skyrocketed.
John McCain’s misguided priorities show he’s more of the same: the same
$45 billion in tax cuts for America’s 200 largest companies could be
used to lift over 9 million Americans out of poverty.
