Raise, but only by a small amount

Lower taxes for small and medium-sized businesses, but increase rates for large corporations and eliminate all loopholes as well. Also, make it illegal for corporations to outsource jobs or move to other countries.

Lower taxes for small and medium-sized businesses but keep current rates for large corporations; and close all loopholes and deductions, so we can compete internationally and protect our domestic companies. Also, we should address other issues such as proper licensing and closing illegal markets, and instead give incentives to companies.

Lower, reform to a flat tax, abolish all taxes except sales tax, and require payment/ tolls for use of federal services to make them self sustainable (roads, parks, postage, etc.). Tax collection funds services that can't charge (law enforcement, military, congress, etc.)

@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Trump did it right. If you tax them more, they will outsource more. Give incentives to move manufacturing and jobs back to the USA and it will improve our economy. But I agree that there are too many loopholes. Close some loopholes to ensure they pay their fair share.
@8KX67Q94yrs4Y
Maintain the current rate, but eliminate loopholes and make sure they pay the mandated amount.
@8H4DF7B4yrs4Y
Have a study on the efficiency of the tax. Also, get rid of tax loopholes for corporations.
@8TPZHT73yrs3Y
Raise, and abolish currency
@7YFGPVT4yrs4Y
1) Eliminate citizen income tax, and restructure corporate earnings tax to a lower linear incrementing tax.(i.e. Set a bottom threshold of $10M annual gross profit at 2%, $50M at 3%, $100 at 4%... and cap at $100B at %15). With no loopholes, and assessed to any company that does business in the US, regardless of where the corporate HQ are and where products/services are generated, to avoid "Off shore" parent company strategy.
2) Simplify, but increase property tax for all entitles, civilian, local business, and corporations. This tax would also scale linearly.
3) Eliminate local and state sales tax and institute a national Value Added Tax dispersed between local, state, and federal proportionally

Reevaluate the current tax structure and modify to balance the needs of the US and of businesses. Tax incentives would be available to businesses that support US based jobs.
