       | Yes absolutely. People who call this is death sentence; well
       | that's a bit dramatic. The corporate tax rate is 20% so what this

       | If headcount stays stable eventually you go back to your 2021
       | taxes. If you keep growing, you keep feeling the pain.

       | That said, this is absolutely insane and I sincerely hope
       | congress fixes it. Small companies are definitely squeezing
       | raises, laying off and changing hiring plans.
