You do know that the Corporations will add that tax to the price of the goods and servives they provide ?
Maybe they will. But then again it'll be fairer than some companies, the rich ones, being able to sell goods cheaper than the smaller firms because they've bribed their way through the system, wouldn't you say?
Republicans claim to be for business, but appear to only be for big business.
Try again, Democrats are for big bussiness...IE GE
Republicans are for the 90% plus mall bussiness in America
Care to actually back up what you say? Seeing as Republican policies are for giving huge corporations very low taxes.
10 Big Corporate Tax Breaks, and Who Benefits
You're telling me that the Republicans don't do any of these?
Last I looked Texas was mostly Republican. 20 Republicans to 11 Democrats in the Senate, 99 Republicans to 48 Democrats in the House.
And yet:
Report: Texas gave away billions in tax breaks to businesses
"
Texas gave away billions in tax breaks to businesses"
"Business tax breaks cost Texas $4.3 billion in the last state budget, a figure that amounts to about a third of the state's massive revenue shortfall"
"One of the largest carve-outs was for the natural gas tax, which totaled about $1 billion a year in exemptions"
Is Texas busting their state budget or are they actually creating jobs better than anyone else in the US?
Unless you are in Texas, why should you be concerned?
Texas might be "creating jobs" as you put it, but taking jobs away from other places. The jobs already existed in the US, the company wanted to have these jobs in the US but they managed to move to one part that was willing to give them the deal.
The problem that the EU has recognized but the US won't. That if all companies are forced to be fair within a tax system, then you don't get the multinationals essentially going to where they can pay zero tax and then claim it's "creating jobs" when it's not, it's moving jobs around.
"......managed to move to one part that was willing to give them the deal". Now, continue the alternative, if no part in the United States is willing to give them "the deal", what would be the net impact to the US? Answer: negative job creation......also called "jobs lost". Which scenario do you think Americans prefer?
