Chapter Chapter 5 in Investing in the Trump Era, 2018, pp 59-76 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter examines the case for cuts in corporate income taxes and for personal income taxes separately. The main argument for lowering corporate tax rates is they are well above the average of other advanced economies, which creates incentives for US businesses to shift production abroad. This is one area where the goals of the Trump administration overlap with the Obama administration, but where the approach to resolve the issue is very different. By comparison, the case for steep cuts in personal income tax rate is less compelling, as tax rates in the United States are in line with other countries, and the economy is close to full employment.
