It still wouldn't hurt to lower the corporate tax and the income tax.... Here's to the Fairtax!!

I think the reasons are more complex than made out to be. There are many tangible and intangible reasons for why companies make the decisions they do. Tightening credit standards could be the reason 28,000 fewer small business loans being approved in 2007. The list is extensive.

Companies do make decisions on hiring, firing, and expansion based on taxes. I'd just like to point out that there is more complexity to the puzzle than is pictured here. Also, consider non-corporate business orgs.

This video is so WRONG!!!! After all of the tax cuts that big corporations get they wind up paying only 11%!!!!!!!!!!

That's true only for some corporations. Many have to pay the full rate, especially the ones who don't have high-powered lobbyists to carve exceptions in the tax code for them.

Lowering the corporate rate while eliminating these credits and deductions evens the playing field for all of us.

And of course corporations don't pay taxes, they just collect it. We pay them as consumers, workers, and investors.

Most corporations get local tax exemptions also.

[politicalmediacenter]

Great work. Congrats on the win!

Can I ask, did you do this in After Effects?

[Zabreneva]

Excellent summary of the issue!

[RobtKraft]

Many corporations get tax breaks. That's why they donate to politicians. The small businessman suffers the most.

[Zabreneva]

They lobby politicians because... wait for it... the taxes are too high! If it was lower, and all corporate breaks eliminated, the businesses wouldn't have to lobby for those breaks.

Excellent video!

[ball4thegame]

baldwin 08!

It is a shame that all of the Obamabots are not looking at this and the other videos in the Tax Foundation contest. With the Democrats taking the White House and if they get their 60 seats in the Senate, we're screwed!
