Hey Congress, Where Is Trump’s 15% Tax Rate?
Unleash Prosperity ^ | 05/15/2025 | Stephen Moore

Posted on 05/15/2025 8:54:36 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Since he first started running for president in 2016, Donald Trump has sought a 15% corporate tax rate. Unleash Prosperity co-founders Larry Kudlow and Steve Moore were in the room with him nine years ago when he first started talking up that rate.

In the 2017 bill we got the rate down from 35% to 21%. Corporate revenues increased. Trump ran on 15% in 2024 and won. Still the House GOP tax bill has no rate cut. Even the scaled back 15% rate for made-in-America companies is nowhere to be found. This could have easily been paid for with the Trump 10% tariff revenue.

What is disheartening to us is that instead of the 15% business rate, the House Republicans chose to extend Biden’s Green New Deal subsidies for windmills and solar boondoggles.

The Senate should resurrect the 15% rate.

Open Letter to the American Public even those that are mathematical impaired. CORPORATIONS PAY NO TAXES EVER. Never never never and that is just the reality of commerce.

CORPORATIONS PAY NO TAXES EVER. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I buy a F150 truck (a fine truck) and the government imposed 2000 dollars of tax on their profit the price of that fine truck is 2000 dollars more to me as Ford as all companies pass the cost of tax on to the consumer.

COMPANIES PAY NO TAXES EVER. THE TAXES ARE PASSED ON TO THE CONSUMER, ALWAYS. THEY HAVE NO CHOICE OTHERWISE THEY GO BANKRUPT!

I’ll be glad when the President returns from his successful trip to the Middle East.

He needs to lay down the law to the RINOs in the House and Senate.

15% maximum rate for individual citizens would be at least as helpful for the economy

getting corporation rate relief through is always going to be difficult, politically speaking

lowering the individual max tax rate to 15% (or less!) will stimulate the economy beyond anyone’s wildest dreams (since normal people will have money to buy things again!)

I want to know where the max 10% interest on credit cards went! It was a campaign promise.

The Senate GOP is what threatened to kill the bill unless the IRA boondoggles were retained!

I’m sure there’s a committee looking into it.

A corporate income tax is not a cost of doing business. How can Ford apply their $2,000 tax to your F150 if the company doesn’t even know what the tax will be until next year?
