Note to Bay Area liberals: This is how the Republicans win. Skip the tedious read of John McCain's predictable technology policy statement. All Valley entrepreneurs really need to know is that McCain wants to cut corporate taxes from a maximum 35 percent to 25 percent. The change would leave money on the table for any company whose annual income exceeds $75,000, and let every big employer in the Valley keep an extra 10 percent of its income. By contrast, Barack Obama has only pledged to protect R&D tax credits and to "reform" the patent and copyright laws that Ars Technica readers love to hate. Dude, 10 percent tax cut. Had Bill Clinton done this, the Schwarzenegger Republicans who fill the upper ranks of tech companies would've been glad to spot him a blowjob or two. (Photo by AP/Mary Altaffer)
