But far more actual voters seem to want corporate taxes to go up, not down — and a significant chunk of those voters are Republican.</p> <p>Overall, support for lowering corporate taxes comes overwhelmingly from core conservatives. Two of the other right-leaning groups are split on the matter, and respondents categorized in another GOP-leaning group — “Market Skeptical Republicans” — are far more likely to say they want corporate taxes raised. So perhaps the Republican tax bill will be more divisive among the GOP coalition than many expect.</p> </blockquote> </div></div></div> Mon, 30 Oct 2017 01:02:41 +0000 artappraiser comment 244391 at http://dagblog.com
