   U.S. President Barack Obama aims to cut the country's corporate1 tax rate from 35 to 28 percent, while eliminating dozens of tax-saving deductions2 American companies now enjoy.

  Treasury3 Secretary Timothy Geithner unveiled the tax overhaul4 Wednesday, two days before a tax proposal being offered by one-time venture capitalist Mitt5 Romney.  He is one of the leading Republican presidential contenders seeking his party's nomination6 to face Mr. Obama, a Democrat7, in next November's national election.
  Government officials said the plan would cut the effective tax rate for manufacturing firms from the current 32 percent average to 25 percent.  But the proposal would raise taxes on oil and natural gas companies.  It also would require, for the first time, that U.S. companies operating overseas pay a minimum tax on their foreign earnings8.
  The top U.S. corporate rate of 35 percent is among the highest in the world, putting American firms at an economic disadvantage.  But numerous U.S. corporations, after taking allowable deductions for business expenses, often pay at a substantially lower rate, and occasionally, nothing.
