Tax Foundation Proposes Long-Term Solution to Economic Woes, Not Quick Fix
Hillary Clinton unveiled her economic stimulus package today as Congress and the Administration continue to discuss quick fixes for the economy.
The Tax Foundation weighed in on the issue with a proposal to focus on long-term solutions instead, such as lowering the corporate tax rate, currently the second highest in the industrialized world.
