Our Corporate tax rate is too damn high

[OldDog]

Perhaps the BIG corporations, the ones with the lobbying power to "write" these laws and maintain them as the status quo, would like to keep things as they are.

Small corporations, like the ones for which I do work, get stuck actually paying the high rates when they earn the requisite income. Big enough (just) to earn the income, but too small to take advantage of loopholes such as these, the owners of these small corporations are understandably miffed at the government and feel, rightly so, that they are getting screwed.
