- “Cut corporate tax rates from 35% to 17.5% to be more competitive with other nations and give incentive for companies to stay in America. With each $1T in reduction on the national deficit, the corporate rate gets decreased by an additional .5%. This will add about $172B to the deficit using straight line logic. Growth should lessen this loss in revenue but for the sake of argument, we will use straight line logic and the difference will have to be made up in additional spending cuts. Cutting corporate taxes along with eliminating all corporate welfare, and reducing or eliminating regulations will put America more on par or better than foreign countries to bring real growth and jobs back to America. Tariffs will then become a moot point.” (www.howell4congress.com)
