Trump cuts the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% to compete with the countries above and the Democrats get hysterical and clueless.....but they support open borders and unlimited immigration to bring wages down and not only outsource jobs but to bring the outsourcing of cheap labor here.
Yeah, well the Bahamas and Cayman Islands have a corporate tax rate of 0% so corporations will continue to use those countries as tax havens. You want to pay corporations to keep their headquarters here?

You're just now figuring this out Grasshopper?

The bolded comments were true when I was in College during the Carter Admin. (we students actually learned about "Business" in Business School - after watching the original idiot Snowflakes from 1968-1973). & they were probably true before that. (So at least 45 years).

But we never once heard or read progressive silliness about the Ocean rising ONE inch every 50 years..... or that encouraging unskilled workers (& their families) to illegally come to the US (& spend 7-15K per year on them) made logical economic sense.

It takes some people longer to "get it" than others.

This tax plan is another campaign promise not kept by Trump!

Quote:
The president promised to fix this, remember?

DONALD TRUMP, AUGUST 2016: We will eliminate the carried interest deduction, well-known deduction, and other special interest loopholes that have been so good for Wall Street investors, and for people like me.

But neither the House nor the Senate ever bothered to address this. So those private equity fat cats get away with paying investment taxes instead of income taxes. And that is just wrong. So why doesn't anyone care? ---

Exactly.

Today's "Family Business" might be tomorrow's small business that employs (& provides health insurance for) 86 employees, helps build a local hospital, supports 3 little league and 3 softball teams.

Further reduce your company's taxes by helping to build a park next to the local elementary school, clean up trash off of local highways etc. etc.
