instead of answering question directly, show any piece of tangentially related evidence that makes your side look good.
don't mind me. just taking notes for a research project.

Well I mean, if you do, then they'll have more money, more money means more jobs created, it's simple trickle down economics right?

You're really good with hyperbole and strawmans. We all know they don't pay the rate now, that rate only effects small businesses that don't have the fancy accounting techniques. It's a shell game and you know it.

Want to lower taxes for corporations, that'll make it less that what they pay now because we all know they only pay a small fraction of what they're supposed to pay.
I'd actually like an embargo on all goods from U.S. companies who get funny and move their "operating base" to another country. Without U.S. consumers, majority of these companies wouldn't survive.

I know you live in a echo chamber, but they DO NOT pay the effective tax rate now.
What would you say if we closed the loopholes? I have an idea, but I'd to hear it from you.

Lemme ask you something.. How many poor people have gotten me a job?
Da answer is zero
If u dont reduce da burden for businesses to create & prosper, how does it hire people?
Da answer is it wont.
My mother used to own a business (a Tire shop), you know what Happened when regulations got too onerous? She shut it down and let go of all her employees.
You dont kill da goose that lays da golden egg.
Da private sector MUST be da driver of GDP growth, along with disciplined government.
I agree to an extent. This notion that every business has to thrive without any gov oversight is BS. Do that in third world countries. Not land of the free. The workers makes the business run. Can't afford accordingly? Then you cease to have business. Can the gov oversight be too much? Yes, of course.

On Apple
“I think we’re going to get things coming. We’re going to get Apple to start building their damn computers and things in this country instead of in other countries.” -Drumpf
On Ford
Trump has regularly bashed U.S. companies for manufacturing their products elsewhere. A regular target ― including in his Monday speech ― has been Ford Motor Co. with Trump threatening a 35% import tariff on any cars made in Mexico (while simultaneously calling himself a “free trader”).
Is he admitting that the candidate he is endorsing is living in a fantasy world?
“I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created. I will bring back our jobs from China, from Mexico, from Japan, from so many places. I’ll bring back our jobs and I’ll bring back our money.”

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is threatening a floor fight over rules and platform planks at the party's summer convention if the Democratic National Committee stacks the committees with supporters of Hillary Clinton.
Sanders writes in a letter to Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz that the makeup of the standing committees should reflect the level of support that he and Clinton received in the primaries and caucuses.
He says many of his supporters have not been included and notes Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy will be in charge of the convention's platform committee and former Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank will run the rules committee. He calls both "aggressive attack surrogates" for Clinton.

How low would he have to push them though? If it is still more profitable to produce your stuff overseas, companies won't stop, all they will do it say thank you for the lower taxes in America.
And one thing supply side economics has proven to do is explode deficits, ask Reagan, Bush and the entire state of Kansas about that
But I guess conservatives are only deficit hawks when a Democrat is in office

So the government should let firms pick their tax rate, is that what you're saying?
What if they say zero?

Low wages to the tune of a couple of dollars a day, maybe?
Payroll constitutes the largest expense of businesses; that's why they lay people off first when profits are threatened. They don't go to their accountants to figure out how to pay the IRS less.
