Biden wants to raise the corporate tax rate from 21 to 28% but Manchin won’t go beyond 25%. Giving a low corporate tax rate to multi-billion dollar industries that pay their workers survival wages & their CEOs tens of millions of dollars a year is not competitive, it’s immoral

I work for a multi billion dollar corporation. Not a single employee makes a "survival wage". We're all very well compensated. Take your commie bullshit somewhere else.

@marwilliamson, I think everyone in America should agree that if @JoeManchinWV can give us a 1 hour speech on exactly why the economic system is better served by 25% vs 28% - and can show how objectively embracing trickle down will actually be better for us, we let him have it.

Most corporations are very small businesses.

Quick question: who do you think will be paying these increased corporate taxes?

He is still protecting his daughters interest. Time to reopen an investigation into Manchin’s daughter. @SpeakerPelosi @BernieSanders @ewarren @POTUS

The priority needs to be closing the loopholes that allow the companies to avoid paying taxes in the first place. I honestly wouldn’t care if corporate tax rate didn’t go up, as long as they were actually paid

Do you all understand what this truly is about? Corporations don’t give two craps about the tax rates! Higher taxes no problem! They will replace ppl with tech and close brick and mortar buildings. The savings alone in Gen Liability Ins. Cost will not only expand profits but

That’s not low. All the economic majors say 25% is the most you can go with out business packing up and moving out of the USA or cutting jobs. Listen to experts on economics.

Especially when all the corps did with the tax reduction was to use the extra cash flow to do stock repurchases.
