Talks on the “lock in effect” on selling stocks referring to the effect that higher corporate tax rates have on investor’s willingness to sell. Investors are more likely to hold onto their stock in companies longer fearing paying higher tax on profits earned in stock trades. The “lock in effect” does not promote economic growth as it limits reallocation of low performing stocks to more profitable investments. High rates also slow an economy as it deters people from investment which weakens businesses.

This article touches on how reform on corporate tax policy will be the next issue for the current administration to overhaul. Costly reforms such as health care, energy, and bailouts has left congress with gaps to fill in our deficit that corporate tax increase will have to cover. It also sees a reason for reform as more and more of our American Corporate tax revenues go to foreign government.
