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

So many of these long term corporate wing men need to go. The egg is going to crack wide open underneath the looking glass.

This tax hike won't do anything at 25% and 28% would barely make them notice. Demand loyalty investments into our Country's future from the top 1%! Close the loop holes! If you are not doing FDR, you are not fixing the problem.

It could be 20%, as long as corporations EARNED their tax breaks. Incentivize good behavior. Unionization. Re-investment, not stock buybacks. Job creation, not offshoring.

40% corporate tax rate would be about right, I'd say.
Moreover Corporation/wealthy use & profit most from gov't infrastructure They want courts & bureaucracy to enforce contracts/patient/trademark/copyright, military & state department to secure supply & markets, transportation to move goods, police to guard their lucre, etc.

Manchin is owned by Koch and Goldman Sachs.

And let's not forget that is NOT the Effective Tax Rate.. which is even lower after loopholes and write offs.

Stop making it so god damn difficult! A VAT is simple and the easiest way to do this

Remind people what it was before Trump et al lowered it..
