The best thing about tax cuts is that they always pay for themselves, because the less you tax people, the more money they make.

The reason they're talking about lowering the tax rate for corporations is to try to lure them back to the united states since the supposed reason they moved their home offices off shore was because the tax rates are lower somewhere else.

I don't think that's the entire story. It's as much about what the officers of corporations can get away with in other countries that they can't get away with here.

In some countries their governments are so strict that a company can be confiscated by the government for certain unlawful business practices. Their tax rates are high too but you don't see them running off to many of the places companies like Apple go set up shop.

Here in the US when Apple violates US business policy the fake news with their hands in the cookie jar keep their mouth shut. The government has their hands out for campaign money, alphabet soup agencies find sweet appointments after they get booted from office in a change of administration.

The news lets you know that the coal industry is still having problems but they don't tell you that Obama and co. used our tax dollars to fund the hell out of natural gas updates for power plants and signed off on allowing "foreign drillers" drilling in more natural gas wells to sell us back our own energy to companies that won't be paying US corporate tax.

That swamp in Washington. Then people act so surprised when they are confused about why they don't like their choices in an election.

It's right in front of your face. The people on the television are lulling you all asleep while they break it off in your ass.
