On last nights 60 minutes Leslie Stahl (SP?) interviewed a bunch of CEOs who have moved their ops overseas for tax reasons. Leslie actually said we couldn’t reduce coprorate tax rates in the US to meet those in Ireland and Switzerland becuase we’d lose trillions of dollars and make the deficit worse.
“Leslie actually said we couldn’t reduce coprorate tax rates in the US”
Push the meme, push the meme, push the meme. Even if it makes you sound like an idiot, push the meme....
Yep, there she was, metaphorically staring at all those billions (rolls eyes) and the thought of reducing the corporate tax rates didn’t fire a synapse in her head that told her ‘then A LOT of that money would flow back into the US’ and instead, she thought about the dollars that wouldn’t come too if the rate was lower.
Hey, Leslie, here’s an apple pie. You can’t have half of it, like you want. You can have one third of it. But, if you get a third of it, will you only think about the sixth you didn’t get?
Because if all you want is half of it, you’re getting none.
