“Tutor Perini managed a minus-37% actual U.S. tax rate last year.” – HOW IS THIS REAL LIFE??
When the tax code is a game, it will be gamed. There is a natural tension between ideas like wanting to encourage investment and development … yet the need to collect enough revenue to properly fund operation of the government.
It feels like some kind of minimum tax would be a solution to the revenue issues but I am not smart enough to speak to the impact such might have on economic development. I mean, would (say) Amazon really have done anything differently had they had to pay a minimum 10% tax on their revenues? Really don’t know.
