    How much tax revenue would we gain if we reinstated the corporate tax to the levels it used to be in the 40’s and 50’s? You know, when America was great? That tax rate was 52%>. Care to take a gander at what today’s rate is?

      We are losing tens or hundreds of billions of dollars thanks to tax policy incongruent with sanity.

      Effective tax rate? Basically zero. Iirc the on-paper corporate tax rate is around 20%.
