A followup on that report RightWingConspirator brought to my attention.

I found a section that makes me doubt its honesty - and it is where I think the LATimes pulled its remarks, as well. Not investment taxes, corporate taxes.

In a nutshell it points out the US has one of the highest top marginal rates on corporations in the OECD. It recommends the rates be cut to be competitive. The dishonest (to me) part? There is no mention that due to a number of loopholes the ACTUAL tax rate for corporations in the US is one of the lowest in the OECD. There’s no mention of closing loopholes, and in fact throughout the document more loopholes are suggested.

Sorry, when the overarching message is “cut taxes, and make more loopholes in existing taxes”, I can see why it’s good for bidness. I can’t see how it’s good for America, not given the track record of bidness and taxes.
