2. Paying $0.50 more for a US made pen instead of a foreign made pen.

If you want to cut the tax rate on the US based pen maker to 0%, I'd be all for it. Giving the government more control over trade, not so much.

Me too, but I don't need a $0.50 price cut or any other kind of government intervention to know I'd be saving money over the long haul by buying the US made pen.

Lowering the corporate tax rate to 0% on those items that are made here from 100% US parts would cause an explosion of manufacturing and higher end jobs here in the US.

Which is why Congress will never let it happen.
