    Ah so you CAN tweet... but oddly no response to my question about why the UK slashed company tax rates and wages FELLhttps://twitter.com/BCAcomau/status/922610048253157376 …

    Bernard Keane added,

    Business Council of Australia @BCAcomau
    .@ScottMorrisonMP is right - a competitive company tax rate has become an "urgent" priority as other countries move to undercut Australia. https://twitter.com/bcacomau/status/919813851272462337 …

        As UK corporate tax rates were cut repeatedly, real (inflation-adjusted) median wages fell in the UK.pic.twitter.com/VNR4GAkE7g

        In Canada the economy went backwards as the tax cuts went to the Caymans.

        What are we actually competing with? We are mostly a market of consumers that business will pander to, no matter the tax rate, while ever we have credit to burn #auspol

        The standard answer to this is "wages would have fallen even more if we hadn't cut taxes" BS of course.

        Experience with company tax cuts in the US has been a short term boost followed by a decline to lower levels of activity, State & Federally.
