Would a push to reduce corporate taxes most likely be a liberal or conservative cause?

In today's environment both Liberals and Conservatives in Congress are looking to lower corporate tax rates. Both Liberals and Conservatives favor a simplified tax code that removes "special breaks" and "loopholes" that were put in the tax code passed by Congress over the years. That said, corporate taxes are part of the tax code and should be "fair." On the question of whether fairness includes higher overall taxes or lower overall taxes in respect to a new code Conservatives are more likely to be in favor of lower taxes and Liberals more likely to be in favor of higher taxes. For example, a corporate tax rate of 30% prior to closing loopholes and special breaks might be changed to 10% from the Conservative point of view and might be changed to 20% from the Liberal point of view. Both choices are lower than the original 30% but the Liberals want to pay for government and the Conservatives of today have been co-opted by the starve government folks who would take taxes below what was necessary to keep government providing services.
