March 24, 2009: Fox Business Anchor: Corporate Bonus Taxes Comparable to Sexual Abuse

2009-03-24

Arguing against taxing corporate bonuses, Fox Business Network anchor Dagen McDowell compares such taxation to sexual abuse: “You don’t want to think if you get in bed with Uncle Sam he’s going to strip you naked, chain you to the bed, leave you there, and then take nasty pictures of you and then put them on the Internet. Because that’s what’s been happening.” Fox News correspondent Bill Hemmer calls McDowell’s remarks “well stated.” [Think Progress, 3/24/2009]
