How would that solve anything. If corporations are such greedy, unpatriotic scum... wouldn’t that just drive them to re-incorporate in places like Panama, Kiribati, or any other fleaspeck country with lax laws/oversight?

And then where would all those precious taxes you sought from them be?

America has a lot of things going for it... like an educated, English-speaking workforce; large consumer market; highly-mobile labor force; reliable power and transportation networks, etc. That makes it an attractive place to invest in.

What pushes business away is the overregulation, the high taxes, the litigation, and the NIMBY factor.

Fix these and business will come back on it’s own.

No it wouldn't. The take advantage of the US's copious protections for corporations.

Elsewhere they are at the whim of dictators. If they found an advantage to incorporating in a fleaspeck country they would have done so by now

The maritime industry has found that flagging ships in fleaspeck countries doesn't work so well either.

Whose paying taxes? Not GE.

You'd think that the businesses donating all that money to Congress and the white house would be lobbying to rid us of all these regulations, but they don't. In the warped "free trade" agenda, these regulations give the excuse to go search for slave labor abroad, since it isn't allowed here due to the 13th amendment.

That's exactly why transnational globalist trash corporations like GE promote the 'green' agenda and perpetuate the global warming fraud and cap and trade. They want us to legislate ourselves out of competition with communists and socialists in China and India and other 'fleaspeck' dictatorships around the globe.

That's why we call them free traitors.
