Again, the rate is the highest in the world. That is a pure fact. Whether or not the company can take advantage of loopholes/deductions are another matter and require more dollars spent on accountants. So, reduce the tax rate significantly, cut the loopholes (usually taken by large companies) and reduce dollars spent on accountants. That is a simple solution to help business and likely wouldn't affect corporate revenues. Most small businesses are filed as S-corps and are taxed at personal rates...so, if Obama gets rid of the bush tax cuts (which assisted most people, not just the rich), small business could be taxed at 39%. That is f-cking outrageous...for people busting their ass, employing others and taking risks.
Benny, you seem like a big government near communist. I imagine you have never ran a business and seen how difficult it is. Have you ever hired anyone? Ever taken out loans and put your house up as a guarantee? If not, then I don't want to hear what you think is fair for business. Remember, most businesses in this country are small business, employing less than 25 people. I know that some large businesses are unscrupulous.
