"We pay the highest corporate income tax rate in the world, it should be mystifying why people think taxes should be higher in order to keep these companies from leaving."

What's truly mystifying is that there are those who believe only America should exercise Adam Smith's version of Free Trade and Commerce when the entire rest of the world are mercantilists seeking and gaining advantage.

Tariffs are not a pure tax. They add cost ONLY to imported goods.

Yes, we should completely eliminate all corporate taxes and move those costs to the border.

One could even make it revenue neutral and still do the nation a great service.

They add cost ONLY to imported goods.

Then how do they protect well-paying American jobs? Do they do so with no cost?
