DeMuth: President Clinton = Lower Corporate Tax Rate?
Today’s WSJ ran an op-ed (subscription required) by Christopher DeMuth, president of right-leaning think tank The American Enterprise Institute, or AEI. Mr. DeMuth offers several insights into what makes a think tank successful, but most interesting was an opaque prediction regarding corporate tax rates under a President Hillary Clinton:
"…I predict that if Sen. Clinton is elected president the corporate income tax will be furthr reduced during her tenure."
There are no clues in the article that would explain this prediction. But a lower corporate tax burden–as the inimitable Martha Stewart might say–would be a good thing.
