Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Capital investment gives corporations the ability to plan a long-term strategy to expand their businesses, which is more beneficial to the U.S. economy than handing over millions of dollars to the government in taxes.
52% : Besides paying billions of dollars in taxes, FedEx significantly contributes to the U.S. economy by employing almost half a million individuals in America.
45% : Just last week, Sen. Bernie Sanders tweeted the objectively incorrect claim that "If you paid $20 to mail a Federal Express package overnight, you paid more to Federal Express than it paid in federal income taxes over the past 3 years."
42% : Those fundamental facts about how businesses work haven't stopped liberals from pushing false claims in hopes of stoking populist ire to support their ideologically driven quest to raise taxes, regardless of consequence.
39% : We are in the midst of a long legislative slog in which many in Congress will fight to raise the corporate income tax rate out of the simplistic belief that corporations somehow do not pay enough in taxes.
