I am pleased to see Biden on board with restoring the corporate tax rates that Reagan had when he was in office to pay for the American Jobs Plan. #RestoreTheReaganRates

@GeorgeTakei
For those replying we need higher rates, I do understand this. I just find it ironic that todays GOP is so opposed to the very rates that their hero Reagan had implemented.

(640 posts)1. Anybody know what the actual bill says?
I am asking because the wealthy and corporations have worked very hard to establish many many write-offs--deductions--to reduce the taxes they owe.
If these deductions aren't removed from the tax code, then many corporations and wealthy will still not have any increase in the taxes that they pay.
Its how they end up paying 0 taxes.

the bill likely won't have the teeth is should have.
The friends of Wall Street and corporations in DC will see to that.

Get it right people!
