Under the current tax regime, $300,000 in profit would cause $105,000 in tax liability.
Cut taxes 10 percent (from 35 to 31.5 percent) and your taxes drop to $94,500. If you can't hire a $50,000 employee for $30,000 in tax savings you definitely can't hire one for $10,500.
Like Goebbels said, lie big and often and people will believe it.
