Didn't we do just that a few years back with the mislabled Jobs Creation Act of 2004? I believe we did.
The business growth pattern did not fundamentally change. Other than the fact the level of speculation and debt increased in the following years. Of which we are now paying the price today.

Are you saying that, Microsoft, for instance, would not have announced the layoff of 5000 people if only we had let them bring back profits at a lower tax rate? (Even though they famously have billions in cash on hand now?)
Didn't think so.
Truth of the matter is that low and lower tax rates are like dumb and dumber. They tend to destroy more jobs than they create.
