2013 State of the Union address: on Corporations


Marco Rubio: Lower corporate tax rate; it's the highest in the world

Simplifying our tax code will help the middle class, because it will make it easier for small businesses to hire and grow. And we agree with the President that we should lower our corporate tax rate, which is one of the highest in the world, so that companies will start bringing their money and their jobs back here from overseas.

Rand Paul: Cut corporate tax in half to create millions of jobs

With my five-year budget, millions of jobs would be created by cutting the corporate income tax in half, by creating a flat personal income tax of 17%, and by cutting the regulations that are strangling American businesses. The only stimulus ever proven to work is leaving more money in the hands of those who earned it!
