OK, never mind.
U.S. multinational corporations increasingly are shifting more of their global profits to such tax havens as Ireland, Bermuda and Luxembourg.
Yep, so lets reverse that trend and bring them here:
Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee,
Rep. Bill Archer (R-TX)
August 12, 1996
- "A recent survey was done, in Europe and Japan, of the major corporations and I was astounded at the results. They were asked, 'If the US abolished its income tax and went to a sales tax, would that have any impact on your decisions?' Eighty percent of the corporations said they would build their factories in the United States of America. Twenty percent said they would move their international headquarters to the United States of America."
Never thought of Ireland as a tax haven. Now I finally understand this.

Taxes are high because people want the gov't to do and provide more and more. I don't blame politicians anymore, I blame the voters.
Why not make America the world's best tax haven? All you have to do is replace the income tax with a National Retail Sales Tax and abolish the IRS!

We will never be a truly FRee people so long as we have the income tax and the IRS.
