United Technologies, the parent company of Carrier Corp, paid a tax rate closer to 12% last year on profits of over $17 billion. Less than I paid percent wise.

"U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly says the head of the Carrier Corporation could not point to one federal regulation which the company says was responsible for its decision to relocate facilities in Indianapolis and Huntington to Mexico."

"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."

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.
