Give the job creators what they want, or the economy gets it:
The 288 companies paid an effective federal income tax rate of just 19.4 percent between 2008 and 2012, far lower than the standard 35 percent rate. However, the rates ranged widely by industry, from 2.9 percent (for gas and electric utilities, which benefit greatly from accelerated depreciation) to 29.6 percent (for the retail/wholesale trade and health care).---Baron VMcIntyre says retailers and hospitals pay the highest rates because "they can't threaten to leave" the country.
