Tax Shield

The U.S. government allows interest payments to be deducted from taxes, but it does not allow this advantage for dividends. This has a significant impact on capital structure decisions.

In this discussion, propose one way that this policy could be changed in the future and, if it were changed, what the implications of that change would be. (If another learner has already posted an idea that interests you, please respond to that post rather than create a new initial post on what is essentially the same topic.)
