Key GOP senators say they're open to corporate tax increase

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Some key Republican senators won't rule out raising additional revenue from corporations, and told Axios they may be willing to close loopholes that allow big businesses to eliminate their overall tax bill.

Why it matters: While President Biden’s proposal to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% to pay for his infrastructure plan has been met with near-uniform GOP opposition, there’s some appetite to ensure corporations pay more.

“I'm willing to do some things on the revenue front if they can do some things on the-way-the-government-works front,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

“The way you do that is you sort of put some limit on write-offs,” Graham added.

“I believe everybody should pay their fair share,” said Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.). “I come from the world of small business. So, I scratch my head when big corporations don't pay their fair share of taxes.”

Color me skeptical especially when it comes to Graham.

you can never get 60 but 50+ Kamala is totally doable and it’s all we need. We don’t “bipartisan” stamp on dems achievements. We do all the work.

5. They'll raise taxes on the "job creators"?
