More competitive tax rates will fuel investment, encourage hiring and increase wages

We know that when more people are working, they have more money to spend. And, when investment increases, so does economic activity and hiring.

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make the United States more competitive globally and to unlock domestic investment and job creation by businesses of all sizes.

Fixing our broken tax code — which just about everyone agrees is too complex and confusing — is essential to jump-starting private sector investment and accelerating economic growth.

At AT&T, we are confident that these reforms will encourage all businesses to step up their capital investment plans. Indeed, significant and comprehensive tax reform will put AT&T in a position to invest more, such as in efforts to expand our broadband fiber and wireless build-out.
