Buttigieg: Corporations Can Be Competitive at a 28% Tax Rate, They Were Extremely Competitive at a 35%

EXCERPT:

BUTTIGIEG: "So as you know, the jobs plan envisions this being covered through corporate taxes, and the president believes very strongly that this is not something that should burden ordinary American families at a time when we’ve got so many corporations that have paid literally zero. And I also would argue that there’s ample evidence that American corporations can be competitive at a tax rate like 28 for the simple reason that they were extremely competitive at a tax rate like 35. If they could handle 35, surely they could handle 28, which was lower, of course, is lower, would be lower than it’s been for most of my lifetime.”
