Fox’s Own On-Screen Graphic Debunks Cavuto’s Theory That Low Corporate Tax Rates Are Good For Markets
Heh:
So according to the facts — and the information provided by Cavuto’s own graphics — the U.S. has the highest corporate tax rate among any of the eight countries listed (even though the effective tax rate is much lower), yet the U.S. stock performance increased 11 percent in 2010. Meanwhile, Italy’s corporate rate was lower than the American rate in 2010, yet its stock market declined 13 percent in 2010. But according to Cavuto, lower corporate tax rates equals increased market performance.
