The book "Outsiders" talks about this in historical perspective http://books.google.com/books/about/The_Outsiders.html?id=ps...

Essentially, there's a philosophy among some CEOs that at current tax rates profitability is something to be avoided, but a healthy EBITDA and reinvesting the capex is the way to increase the shareholder value. The voluntary nature of capital gains tax makes stock buybacks or busines reivestment a more efficient mechanism of delivering value to shareholders.
