So a 35% corporate tax rate is 0% in your view? It happens to be the second highest in the world, and reduces competitiveness. Now, if those corporations have legitimate expenditures that are deductible, it may limit their tax liability, but it doesn't limit their total financial expense. I know in butt-nugget logic like yours that is difficult to comprehend. Uhh…right Pat, reading is important. So a 35% corporate tax rate is 0% in your view?
