New Hovde TV ad blames corporate tax rate for jobs going overseas
Eric Hovde’s latest TV ad says the nation’s corporate tax rate, highest in the world, makes it “no wonder our jobs are going” overseas.
Hovde opens the spot by stepping in front of a chart showing various nations’ corporate taxes rates and saying “We always want America to be first, but in this case, the top spot is horrible for our country.”
“Corrupt politicians gave us corporate welfare and loopholes too,” Hovde says. “So giant companies pay nothing, and small companies get killed.”
Hovde says the nation spends about $160 billion a year in tax preparation before ending the spot, “It’s time to throw out the tax code and start over.”
