I'm not convinced corporations would necessarily hire more people due to lower tax rates. If sales forecasts don't look promising, the additional workers' net contribution may be negative even with a 0% tax rate.

The argument is that even in that case they'll at least fire fewer people than they would with the original tax rate.

But yeah, the big problem facing companies right now is not excessive corporate tax.
