Ben Stein to Fox News: Taxes are too Low

[VerbalIntercourse]

U. S. corporations pay an EFFECTIVE tax rate of about 12.1%.

How much in accounting and consulting fees do they have to pay to get that average 12.1%? that's relevant.

It is, but the point is tax revenue is at all time low.

Pointing out accounting and consulting fees sounds like an argument to eliminate deductions and loopholes. You're looking at it backwards. You should be focusing on eliminating deductions and loopholes first and foremost instead of talking about the 35% tax rate being too high. I'd be in favor of bringing it down as long as you get rid of the offshore tax havens and loopholes.

I don't think they should be getting rid of MACRS, loss deductions, carry forwards or anything else. I need to have a j0b (why is job censored) bro.

I'm sure the AICPA will fight on my behalf.

As much as I agree with Stein, I can't ever take him seriously after that intelligent design "documentary".

Tax rates are not whats holding our economy back
