Media Advisory - Canadian Tax and Economic Expert to Tell Capitol Hill "Cut Your Taxes or Lose Global Competitiveness"

CALGARY, May 22, 2012 /CNW/ - Prof. Jack Mintz, one of the world's most noted economists, will visit Capitol Hill with a hard and straightforward message - US corporate taxes are making the US a particularly unattractive location for investment in a global economy.

Mintz will provide new research on where the US falls in a global rank of countries, and provide lessons from Canada on how corporate tax reductions increase competiveness and prosperity.

Mintz will challenge the preconception that Canada is a high-tax country, and demonstrate that Canada is a more attractive location for investment than the US - a stunning turnaround from only a decade or two ago.
