But still I am not opposed to Donald Trumps plan to charge a one time 10% tax on repatriated billions. 10% is probably fair and will bring billions back home even if most goes to dividends and buying up companies.

Why would companies bring money back here and pay 10% tax on it when they can leave it overseas and pay none?

To distribute this cash as dividends and buybacks to increase their stock price. So pay the 10% or get nothing.
