[He Said Rep. Sam Graves] Small businesses can't go out and hire a team of accountants to help them out when it comes to business taxes. But these big firms have entire departments that are looking for these very things that help them reduce taxes. The frustrating part is, we've got the second highest corporate tax rate in the world. And what that does is it drives businesses out of this country -- and into a murkier tax territory. [She Said Sen. Mary Landrieu] I'm going to be on the war path about this because for small businesses that pay sometimes 25 percent to 35 percent of their income in taxes and then to watch a company like GE walk away and not pay anything in 2010 is just hard to stomach. I'm going to try to provide some leadership on this issue so that large companies and international companies pay their fair share and do not get access to special provisions in the tax code -- putting more of the burden on small businesses.
