The Case For A Cut In Federal Taxes
Washington lawmakers should pursue the Jobs Creation Act as outlined by Rep. Jack Kemp to slash federal taxes. The plan would raise the investment tax credit to 15 percent, cut the corporate tax rate, end double taxation of dividends, and aim to boost capital investment by about 75 billion dollars in the first year, creating millions of new jobs. Kemp argues lower taxes lift growth and revenues through faster economic expansion, citing Kennedy era tax cuts as a precedent.
