From the Paper:

"Through the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, the corporate tax was amended repeatedly to reflect national economic sentiment of the time, to stimulate productivity and growth or advance social purposes, or provide broad economic development. President Kennedy's Tax Act of 1962 and President Regan's Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 can be seen as growth-oriented, while the Tax Reform Acts of 1976 and 1986 were "fairness"-oriented. The Bush Administration attempted to convince Congress to substantially lower capital gains rate to stimulate investment. (Hufbauer and van Rooij, 1994)."
