COLOMBIA REPORTS/ In an interview with Dow Jones, presidential candidate Antanas Mockus pledged to end corporate tax breaks and loopholes. Mockus is virtually tied in recent polls with President Alvaro Uribe's heir, former Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos. "We all pay taxes for the common good," said Mockus. "If we want a series of rights written in the constitution to be granted, we need more funds and more honesty. There is no opposition to that level of taxes, on the contrary there is more demand for a better public service," he added.
