• Simplify taxes. The principles of simple, fair and progressive taxation are vital. If you lower rates, eliminate loopholes, and otherwise simplify the code, you create opportunity for growth. Studies show that permanently lowering the corporate rate by even 10 percentage points would increase GDP by 1% to 2% without lowering tax revenue. That means our government could still fund programs critical to success while allowing individuals and businesses to invest more for growth.
• Invest in infrastructure. We must expand and modernize our roads, bridges, airports, seaports and other modes of transportation. China, India, and others are investing big in infrastructure while the U.S. lags. We need a long-term national approach with accountability and multiple funding mechanisms, including user fees and innovative partnerships with the private sector.
UPS and FedEx are major users of the transportation system, and we are prepared to pay our share for the use of new roads, bridges, and aviation systems. But we also believe those funds should be dedicated specifically to transportation infrastructure. And the time is now to find new ways of encouraging productivity, such as longer combination vehicles and safety enhancements.
• Free and fair trade. In a globally interconnected world, trade is vital to every American. With 95% of the world’s consumers located outside the U.S., we need to lead globalization through negotiation of high-standard free-trade agreements. Similarly, policies like Open Skies have enabled companies like ours to serve a global marketplace.
