Trump's Tax Cuts and the Corporate Focus

The 2017 tax cuts under President Donald Trump aimed to reform corporate taxation by reducing the tax rate from 35% to 21% and changing how multinational companies pay taxes. Large corporations benefited from lower tax rates, encouraging them to operate in the U.S. rather than abroad. Small businesses, on the other hand, could deduct 20% from their personal tax payments. The goal was to stimulate economic growth and investment by providing incentives for businesses to remain in the U.S.
