It’s gonna take a helluva lot more than marginal tax cuts and a few “trims” of regulation.

A corporate tax rate of 0%, a low flat income tax on everyone, sensible environmental regulation, massive welfare reduction, business-friendly rather than union-friendly laws, selling a lot of the western public lands to private ranchers and business.

There's 6 conservative steps we could take to make corporations want to stay here. Instead Trumpies think the liberal step of raising taxes through tariffs is the answer.

You can have tariffs and reduce taxes at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive. BTW was George Washington a liberal? He signed the Tariff act of 1789.

No, but fair trade is the answer, or one. And all the stuff you mentioned-—where you gonna get that. Bush managed to get a temporary, minor rate adjustment. The last significant tax cut was 30 years ago, and that was ratcheted up twice in the next 10 years.

As for environmental regulation changes, and massive welfare reduction? Really? In what universe? We had significant welfare reduction in the 1990s, but while it did move people off welfare, it did NOT move them into higher paying jobs. Most remained in the minimum wage range.

And fair trade is not a “liberal” step. It is Adam Smith’s step, and George Washington and Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln’s “step.”
