Reply #21: I heard that, too, and this is SO WRONG of her!

0% would bring in NOTHING, and Bachmann should understand that as a person who is in fact a tax attorney by profession.

The usual thing you hear is that 39% Clinton tax rate is the "highest in the world", and therefore bad. First, it isn't true: France has a 41% real tax. Our 34% Bush corporate tax brings in 17% on average. Put that together with the fact that taxes are at an all time low and you've got an anemic revenue stream. These companies need to pay back to the system and infrastructure that allowed them to prosper, IMO!

The usual non-Bachmann change that is proposed is to have a 25% REAL corporate tax rate. That could even be OK. She is sneaky and knows that Obama may well propose that next week. So she is attempting to preempt the reasonable and sensible change, and in doing so curry favor with wealthy corporate political campaign donors.
