The closing of loopholes is why I said simplify the code. Not all corporations apply for all loopholes. You also forget non federal taxes that can be levied. Corporations bear most of this nations tax burden regardless of the percentage. Ie we need their money so incentives to operate here would ultimately increase the tax pool and lower the individual burden for everyone especially the middle class. You don't need to get angry, dude. I'm just expressing economic theory.
