I heard Neal Boortz say that Japan dropped their corporate tax rate 5%? 10%?
The USA now has the highest corporate tax rate at 39%. Want them to hire? You might try doing away with it or at least drop it to 10 percent permanently.

Japan tax rates:
Personal income: 40%
Corporate: 40-87%
VAT: 5%
Japan is still higher than US.
Imagine the economic activity unleashed if US corporate rate was dropped to 10%!
