    These people must have hated it when Biden created a 15% minimum corporate tax rate.

    If the status quo is any indication, corporate tax rules are largely performative.

    First of all NO tax increase is ever “performative”. That is a completely meaningless sentence. 2nd, you obviously don’t understand how rare and difficult it is to increase taxes. 3rd, you obviously don’t understand how critical it is to raise taxes on the wealthy.

      Did you click through to the first article I linked? I called them performative because corporations just exploit loopholes to avoid paying their dues anyway.

      I understand the importance of raising taxes on the wealthy. However, I also understand that those efforts will be meaningless if they aren’t backed up on the enforcement side.
