If cutting corporate tax is good for business as Republicans claim, then why didn’t they eliminate them entirely?

even corporations should pay taxes on income, that is what it is called, an Income tax return, they make income, they pay

They are trying.

Can you imagine the howls that would erupt?????

It is good for businesses, they make more money. What it doesn't do is trickle down to workers.

I am all for it, but that never would have been passed...

More difficult to get passed.

That would have been my preference. Taxes discourage whatever activity is being taxed, and it makes no sense to discourage business enterprise. There is no particular rational reason to tax business profits.

The government still needs some money to operate on. Like to keep up the military and border security and maybe some roads

Please, they have trouble counting to two, don't make it that difficult for them.

They are aiming for a balance. You can agree with the rate or not but that's the idea.
