  • The benefits to a strong, growing economy from a competitive U.S. tax system are in jeopardy. America’s current corporate tax system supports sustainable, long-term economic growth and enable a level playing field for U.S. companies operating globally. Higher taxes on job creators will harm American workers, stifle wage growth and slow economic recovery.
  • A Business Roundtable survey of its CEO members found that increases in U.S. domestic and international tax rates would have a negative effect on business expansion, hiring and wage growth, investments in research and development and innovation, and U.S. competitiveness in the global economy.
  • Tax increases will hurt the economy. Prior to the pandemic, the current tax code helped lower the unemployment rate to a 50-year low, boosted wages to the fastest two-year growth in 20 years and increased household incomes. Unraveling these tax policies will make the U.S. less globally competitive and will undermine investments in American workers, families and communities.
