Question is whether he seriously feels guilty for helping make the corporate income tax the highest in the world or whether he is already trying to win votes for Hillary by suggesting that she holds the same opinion when it comes to lowering the corporate tax rate by around 14% to make us comparable to the average of other countries. Hillary hasn't chimed in yet, but I know people who have said they'll vote for Hillary just to have Slick Willy back in the WH. I expect that we'll hear a lot from Mr. Clinton in the next few years, but he can't make campaign promises for Hillary. If people like what he says, it might win Hillary some votes. I have a feeling he'll be charming a lot of people and Hillary will benefit from it.
He's right on this point and following the advice would likely keep jobs here and help us a great deal. He is in agreement with Republicans on this. Thing is, he's not running for anything and is just another citizen expressing an opinion. Doesn't mean Hillary will listen or agree.

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United States currently has the highest combined corporate income tax rate in the industrialized world.
Along with the lower taxes Clinton would like to see a variety of loopholes closed which, of course, is pretty much the exact argument that Republicans have been making for years. However, it usually falls on the deaf ears of statist sheep who love to scream about the evils of capitalism and yap about how the tax rates are actually too low.
Currently, the OECD simple average stands at 25%, meaning that Clinton could be advocating as much as a 14% cut. Even if he's speaking of the weighted average, that would still be a 10% drop.
It may have taken him fifteen years too long, but it's nice that the former President seen the error of his ways. We assume his newfound love of lower taxes will last right up until the very moment that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton issues some shrill proclamation about how companies "don't pay their fair share."
