        But that's not a real number! Most corporations get huge tax breaks through loopholes. Idk of any companies that actually pay 35%

        Shouldn't even pay 35% in the first place and let the government spend it on wasteful projects

        The most expensive gov projects have been infrastructure, healthcare, and the military. Somewhere around 66% of budget.

        I suggest you look at the data. Corp. taxes accounts for only 7% of gov spending. Income tax is 33%. The burden is mostly on ppl not corp

        Somehow GE turned that 35% tax rate into -5% refund but let's not go there.

        Boo! US corporations are the biggest recipient of subsidies and corporate welfare. More tax breaks? Go fuck yourself WSJ.

        It's also riddled with loop holes & deductions. Your headline is extremely & purposely misleading; what is actual avg.paid corp. tax rate?

        Yeah, but very very very few big Corp pay anywhere near that, more likely they are paying single digit rates. Let's be fair and balanced!

        Such BS WSJ if you can find a company that actually pays that rate I would be dumbfounded - 7% or less when you consider all offshore money

        So called analysis conveniently ignores all the sweet subsidies and tax credits. GE already pays zero tax.

        Very few companies actually pay 35%. The average is 12% and some companies pay negative taxes. This is incredibly misleading
