> No corporation with a good tax team pays anything more than 20% of taxes

Seems like a good reason to level the playing field, no? We want businesses to succeed by providing better products and services at better prices, not by being extra good at bureaucratic arbitrage.

Okay, but _just_ lowering the top-line number doesn't do anything about that. It just lowers the top-line number.

If he was proposing making the top-line number 15% and removing all deductions and credits, then you'd have a more compelling point.

Myself, I'm going to wait until a full tax plan comes out before passing judgement one way or another. One number devoid of context tells us nothing.

I mostly agree, but reducing the spread does decrease the handicap a bit.
