you are conflating corporate taxation with individual taxation.
To argue that higher corporate taxation rates has no negative impact on job growth is just plain non-factual.

Mind you ... I am not arguing for trickle-down.

But that said, in the context of this proposal, why shouldn't we reduce the corporate statutory rate, while closing loop holes ... thereby, raising the effective rate? Especially, in the context of tying such a move to infrastructure repair (jobs), incentizing on shoring of manufacturing jobs (more jobs), incentizing investments in small business (more jobs), a minimum corporate tax (revenue), and punishing off-shoring of profits (more revenue)?
