No, they don't. Check out the OECD Tax Database (the leading world authoritative resource) here:

You will see that we have the highest corporate tax rates in the developed world. Nowhere in Europe has higher corporate tax rates, much less much higher rates, than we do.

I don't believe anything because the "establishment" says so. I do my own research.

Quote:Many of the wealthy and big corporations have so many tax loopholes to were they pay below 10% of taxes. Some found ways paying no taxes.

The "loophole" is that they move operations overseas so their profits will be taxed at lower rates in those countries with lower tax rates. The IT giants have been using something called the "double Irish" to lower their effective taxes to around 2.5%.

Exactly, both parties are pro big government and spending, just on the issues they support.

Quote:Sen. Rand Paul gave a fiery speech on the senate floor Wednesday, blasting his own party for wanting to pass a budget that would add trillions to the national debt all in the name of repealing Obamacare.

“The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same. Republicans won the White House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the House,” Paul began.

“And what will the first order of business be for the new Republican majority? To pass a budget that never balances […] To pass a budget that will add $9.7 trillion dollars of new debt over ten years,” Paul said.

The budget passed 51-48. Rand Paul was the only GOP no vote. They crammed the budget into the motion to open debate on repeal of ObamaCare to try to bury their misdeeds.



Alright Trump train'ers ... you gonna spin this into some great news somehow now that it is Team Red posting up trillion dollar deficits? Or are you going to raise just as much hell as if a Democrat did this garbage?

What does this have to do with Trump? And budgets aren't passed in 10 year blocks. They are year to year. The executive branch makes requests and congress has the final say.
