“It’s called freedom Donald. If we were not regulating and taxing them to death they’d be coming here, not leaving.”
Don’t forget that the large corporations are often to blame for goverment’s over regulation and over taxation of business. It seems counter intuitive at first - why would businesses want to add to their own tax and regulatory burden?
The answer is that due to their size, the cost of compliance is negligible as a percent of their revenue, where the smaller businesses they compete with are crushed by the same burden. They can afford teams of lawyers, accountants and lobbyists to minimize or avoid compliance, and they can afford the option of relocating to escape the taxation or regulation altogether.
One of the most common ways large corporations use the government to knock out their competition is through regulatory and tax ‘reform’, the ostensible justification for which is usually product safety, environmental safety or anti discrimination. The real reason is that the largest corporations can afford for example wheelchair access throughout their facilities, whereas the competition would be wiped out by such a requirement. The big corporations know this and lobby for excessive regulations and fees on purpose. It happens all the time.
Trump is right, everything is rigged and the biggest corporations are the ones doing it - they use the government strategically to enforce monopolies this way.
You can be against the big corporate lobbyists and still be a true free market conservative. It took me a while to figure it out, but once you see it it’s pretty obvious what’s going on.
Of course the latest scam is global warming. This clever ploy was created by Turd world nations trying to get their hands in our pockets with a big chunk getting kicked back to the rotten politicians pushing this rip off. I absolutely agree much of big business is in on the rigged game, but the solution is not tariffs. They are just taxes with the ploy of irrational nationalism thrown in.
What is the solution to the rigged game? It so happens I wrote up the answer right here.
