Every competent economist I've heard (and many not so competent ones as well) agree that lowering the tax rate on corporations will not only stop them from leaving the U.S. (which has the highest corporate tax rate in the world), but will bring back many that left and attract many others which will pump a lot more cash into the economy than will be lost.
Very few rich people tend to simply sit on their wealth but tend to want to use it to become even richer. Allowing them to keep more of their money also allows them to invest more into the businesses that they own so they can expand and this creates more jobs. When you have more jobs you start seeing employers compete for workers by raising salaries and increasing benefits as enticements.
