I have an idea for businesses to pay less in taxes that would also stimulate our economy
Corporate taxes are all the rage on the business channels these days. Every talking head out there wants you to believe that high corporate tax rates are what is responsible for the non recovery in this country. Its the "uncertainty" about what the future will bring in the way of corporate taxes that has businesses sitting on mounds of cash and afraid to hire someone....... so it is said. They really want you to believe that corporations just hire people because they are sitting on lots of cash and just want to spend it on "an employee". Like "an employee" is just another thing that corporations purchase, when the price is right. Of course any business that actually behaved this way would be the worst run company in the history of the world and should be immediately shut down. You hire employees when you have work for them to do. When it is necessary to have them in order to support the "thing" or the "service" you sell on the marketplace. When more people are requesting your thing or service you need more people. When those requests fall off, you are likely going to lay someone off.
The thing a business should do that wants to pay less in taxes is give all your employees a 10% raise. Since taxes are only paid on money left over after all salaries have been paid this would reduce your taxable income. These raises would also allow your employees to pay down debt faster and spend a little extra at some other businesses. See, paying your employees more helps your "job creator" buddies by providing them with more demand. You should then ask him to return the favor and give his employees a raise and send them your way.
