Making a change requires selling that change and possibly paying a political price to do it. If it is permanent the only way the Dems change it is by going and doing it. If it is permanent then if with nothing done it expires.
Republicans won't change it, and if Dems are in power, they will definitely change the corp rate a little higher in order to give low income or middle class more.

You think they will bring the taxes down on low/middle? They didn't when they were in power in the past. They coould have even done it bipartisan while Obama was pres.

Can someone educate me what the difference is between some parts expiring in 2025 and some parts being permanent?

For example come 2020 or 2024, and the Dems take over the House, Senate and Presidency, they can revamp and tax rules they want. The Reagan tax code was also permanent until it wasn't permanent anymore this year.

So why the outcry over what is temporary or permanent?
Nobody knows who will be in control or what shape our economy will be in.

I meant they will definitely raise the corp rates, in order to pay for more entitlement programs for the low middle class.

This and doing so will cost them politically and they may not be able to get it through depending on who the Dems are among other things.

But those are the big bad corporations. That can't be benefiting the average Joe. This must be another Fox News scam. Oh wait, was that the old grey lady?

From the utilities should be more than that. They are regulated to make a specific ROI and this changes the calculations. They will be forced to calculate it into their rates.
