Actually, corporate top tax rates have remained fairly stagnant since 1988. Increasing corporate loopholes is not precisely the same as decreasing tax rates.

While the trend has been down, it's essentially unchanged since September. And the vast majority of the decreased rate can be attributed to demographics.

It would at least not fool anyone who has followed transfer pricing / international tax law the last couple of years.
A 'businessman' making this suggestion at this point of time is somewhat baffling to me.
BEPS results in little value for headquarter activities to move to try and follow lower tax rates, while for production heavy industries a move mainly due to tax rates was never all that profitable.

That's because he's a bad businessman.

Plus, he's a racist. This whole "Mexican judge" thing is hilarious. The House may be in play.

The best part about the "Mexican judge" thing is that Trump believes, at the same time, that people of Mexican heritage are all inherently biased against him and therefore should not, for example, serve as judges BUT that he will also win the Hispanic (mostly Mexican) vote come November, presumably because he ate a taco bowl?

Does anybody ever get tired of talking about it?

BEAL · 06-06-2016, 09:31 AM

I think it should be brought up every chance we get, especially in the media.

To ignore or move on from it enables this stupidity and will only lead towards worse behavior

I still think Trump is playing an act. Maybe it's a bet to see how far a character like this can make it, and obviously it's pretty fucking far in this country

Talking about it is enabling it. It is legitimizing The irrational things he says as up for debate. I get it, he's legitimate now. But don't you see this is what got us here in the first place?

What do you mean by "legitimizing"?

Would keeping silent bring about civil rights for those that don't have them?

Donald Trump is a troll. He says stuff like "my African American" because it's on the edge just enough to play the innocent PC card.

All in the meanwhile he's still getting more publicity, and he's still not losing any voters. And the worst part of it all is that because we bought his troll bait comment, now there's a legion of Trumpets that are mindlessly coming to his defense and defending it. And now we have to have a serious discussion as to whether or not an obviously racist comment is racist. Something that most Trump supporters wouldn't have ever said, but now they will because of it. That's what I mean by legitimizing it.

He just wants to own the news cycle.

Barring a idiotic move by Sanders to destroy the Dem ticket, Trump will be destroyed this November.

We have to remember that while the coverage may appear to boost him, the only people doing the boosting are the networks who WANT\NEED ratings.

A very strong majority of people in this country are appalled by him.

The media could do a much better job of not being bullied, but Trump knows he needs conflict to stay in the daily stream of crap from the media.

He's played the media, and some of the GOP base. Come late summer and I think he'll have the worst polling numbers a nominee has had in a long time

He became "legitimate" the moment someone voted for him. So now that we let the village idiots vote, we have to have these discussions. Just like an infection, if you ignore it it spreads.

It takes a lot to make significant demographic changes, and Trump has ONLY offended that demographic. You would be a fool to think he gets the same or more than Romney.

What's Hillary's economic plan?

I'd imagine this is more of a cure resistant strain. Just rest and drink plenty of fluids.

You see, I'm not making out of touch claims like her "out of the box thinking" or that she's going to win over this demographic because the economy is the number one issue.

But if you're truly interested:

But you have to acknowledge the infection first and foremost.
