He’s “complaining all the way to the bank” to coin a phrase.
There’ll be no reason for corporations to donate to politicians to get the tax rate lowered- it’s easy to just go overseas.
The GOPe, like the Dems, mostly only do what big donors pay them to do.
So they’ll have less reason to lower the taxes.
It’s a “win-win” for ‘progressives’.
This essay is bogus propaganda.

No—you betray your argument in your own comments. The GOPe likes to hold global taxation and corporate tax rates over businesses, as a club to beat donations out of them. The GOPe is afraid to give its business base anything it wants, except crony capitalism, because, as you put it, “There’ll be no reason for corporations to donate to politicians.”

We shouldn’t hold freedom or our businesses hostage to the fundraising wishes of pols. The way to remove the incentive for businesses to move their labor abroad is to lift the corporate income tax at home. It’s pretty simple and good for the economy. And the GOP—that is, the GOPe—ought to do that without needed to be bribed for it.

I read AE-P’s article.
Is he hyperventilating to attract attention & hits or....
Is he correctly forecasting that the music will likely stop soon?
I have no idea what to do other than withdraw a bit more cash from the ATM.

One of us must be missing something the other is saying.
Well, since my thesis reults in the obviously correct conclusion that the ‘progrssive’ is lying... :-)
