Since he first started running for president in 2016, Donald Trump has sought a 15% corporate tax rate. Unleash Prosperity co-founders Larry Kudlow and Steve Moore were in the room with him nine years ago when he first started talking up that rate.

In the 2017 bill we got the rate down from 35% to 21%. Corporate revenues increased. Trump ran on 15% in 2024 and won. Still the House GOP tax bill has no rate cut. Even the scaled back 15% rate for made-in-America companies is nowhere to be found. This could have easily been paid for with the Trump 10% tariff revenue.

What is disheartening to us is that instead of the 15% business rate, the House Republicans chose to extend Biden’s Green New Deal subsidies for windmills and solar boondoggles.

The Senate should resurrect the 15% rate.
