Fully realizing that our tax system is thoroughly corrupt, the mantra by Trump has always been that our economy suffers because our corporate tax of 35% (the highest in the world) impedes businesses to hire more workers.......
HOWEVER, the never-answered question is to name a half dozen or so of ANY large corporation that actually PAYS the 35%.............and the answer may well be ZERO.
The average tax rate paid by corporations is 20% or much,much less.
So, the high tax rate is just a "straw-man" to be attacked, and probably the 35% that is currently on the books was likely pushed by these corporations themselves to create the support by corrupt, elected republicans .......fully aware that, given the countless tax-break schemes, NO large corporation would even come close to paying that 35%....EVER.
Nothing more than yet ANOTHER "trickle-down" scheme to screw the middle class and reward donors and lobbying firms.
