I agree, government interference, in the form of highest in the world corporate tax rates, pushes corporations out.
I'd prefer less taxes, to keep corporations and jobs here.
Why? After all, you don't think there's a tax advantage to moving jobs off shore. If there was, you'd have to admit there is a tax incentive to move jobs off shore. You can't admit that, because it would end the disruption.
In fact you'd rather argue with yourself about it, than admit you've had your lunch handed to you. Here, from your last post.
You vehemently disagree there are tax advantages for corporations to move off shore. Here...If tax breaks and government policies helped to create the situation we have now though, you don’t mind government intervention at all do you.
Tax breaks caused our situation? What the hell are you talking about?
Down below in the same post you suddenly agree tax policy does incentivise corporations to corporate manufacturing off shore. Here...
I'm in favor of less government interference (that means I'm in favor of lower taxes) and you're admitting that government interference (highest in the world tax rates) gives companies an incentive to move offshore...
How could I be agreeing with you, if I admitted high tax rates incentivised corporations to move manufacturing off shore, if you didn't beleive the same thing at this point?
OL, don't you see what a conumdrum you've created for yourself here? I mention tax breaks, and you ask me what the hell I'm talking about.
The only conundrum is how you think our government is giving tax cuts and that somehow drives corps offshore.
I did not say the government gave tax cuts. I merely agreed with the thought you expressed in the last green sentence above. The government incentivises corporations to move their manufacturing off-shore.
And if you look at both exchanges above, your thoughts do reveal a clear-cut conundrum. You both disagreed with me that government tax policy influences corporations, and agreed with me that tax policy influenced corporations.
Do you agree corporations get tax breaks to move off-shore or not?
Our government does not give tax breaks to move offshore.
Okay, then you're back to disagreeing with yourself again. You two are really going at it. LMAO
If our corporations pay one tax rate, a high one to manufacture on U. S. soil, and pay a much smaller tax rate to manufacture off-shore, then I guess you'd have to be a pretty dim bulb not to realize that government tax policy does include a clear tax break for corporations who want to manufacture off-shore. When you yourself and you settle your argument, get back to me. You know, I hate to see the two of you disagree like this. Hopefully you can settle this and become friends again.
Corporation's tax exposure is less if the corporation does manufacture off shore
Where you're blaming less government interference, in the form of lower tariffs and fewer restrictions, I'm blaming our idiotic tax rates (and structure, taxing world-wide income) and idiotic regulation.
Can we agree on that?
Since I didn't mention raising tariffs as a resoluiton to anything, I find your effort to label me as someone who did, to be downright dishonest. Can we agree on that?
It sure is stange why it takes a number of posts for you to agree that government does compel corporations to manufacture off-shore via tax incentives,
Driving corporations away is not a tax incentive.
God you are dense. The government sets up tax rates. The government charges two difference tax rates. It taxes corporations who manufacture on U. S. soil one rate. It taxes corporations that manufacture on foreign soil another rate.
If you don't see a tax advantage to manufacturing off shore, you're not really worthy of discussing this issue with. And above you clearly expressed an agreement with this fundamental concept. What the hell is going on with you?
