“We don’t want a ‘progressive’ scale, “

I want to be sure you realize the “progressive” part applies to giving bigger corporations a bigger reason to hire people in the US.

It does not target “the rich” but instead gives fortune 500 companies incentive to hire in the US. Thanks

In my experience the sort of scale you describe is called ‘regressive’... which brings up a question: why would you want to de-facto penalize small-business for being small? Especially considering the impact they have on the economy.

What would give them incentive to operate in the US, I think, would be an easy anyone-can-do-it flat-rate taxes with no exceptions/with-holdings. IOW, you wouldn’t need a law degree and an accounting degree to file taxes.
