    Time to dump the myth of company tax cuts as being about economic growth. They are part of an economic war on Australians by big business.https://twitter.com/JAWestacott/status/919794849917763584 …

    Aus is falling behind on many fronts, but our tax rate is something we can control. We have to pull the lever to be competitive @SkyNewsAust

        Any real reason companies should not pay for roads, police, fire services or army? No, so they should be paying taxes.

        The businesses are ALREADY here. They just aren't paying ANY tax. How much lower can you go? Gift them $800m like the LNP did to News Corp?

        We've given them tax cuts so they'll invest in Australia, also removal of Penalties, scraping our Clean Energy Plan, what more do they want?

        If the BCA think a low corporate tax rate is the best solution then surely they are also in favour of removing dividend imputation.
