That doesn't make any sense. That's just theft.
Lets say the standard corporate tax for EVERY business is 20%.
If we take one industry and only charge them 10%, that's effectively helping that industry make their product cheaper. I don't see it as any different as still charging them 20%, then giving them back 10%.
Either way, we've probably derailed this one enough.
