“Instead of paying $16.4 billion in taxes, as the new 21% corporate tax rate requires, these companies enjoyed a net corporate tax rebate of $4.3 billion, blowing a $20.7 billion hole in the federal budget last year,” ITEP reported.

“除了不用付164亿的税金，根据新的21%的企业税率，这些公司还能够享受34亿美元的企业退税，这让联邦预算去年产生了高达207亿的大亏空。

As former Senator Bob Dole (R-KS) once said, “The purpose of a tax cut is to leave more money where it belongs: in the hands of the working men and working women who earned it in the first place.”

前参议员Bob Dole曾经说过：“减税的目的是让更多的钱用对地方，让工作的男女实实在在的拿到手里。”

While the corporate tax laws probably needed some overhauling (Obama fought to make them more globally competitive), when hardworking Americans have to pay taxes, in some cases more than in previous years, and billion-dollar, profit-making corporations have to pay nothing, it’s hard to see who this new tax bill is benefitting.

不过这项税法也许需要好好地审查下（奥巴马努力使他们更具全球竞争力）。当辛苦工作的美国人需要缴税，而在好几年前的几个案例中几个身价数十亿、利润丰厚的大企业却一毛不拔，这个新税法就很难看出到底是谁在收益。

Of course, as Albert Einstein said, “The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.”
