Your taxes wouldn't go up if the opportunities to invest capital profitably existed in this country. That's the problem. Not the freedom of Americans to buy the best bargain wherever that may be.
All of you protectionists behave as if it's an act of God to have the highest corporate tax rate in the world, deficit government spending, and constant monetary inflation. Your choice to "fix" things is to penalize ourselves.
Makes no sense to me.
Tell me, does it make you feel safer knowing our manufacturing base is being decimated - from a national security point of view? Or perhaps you feel you will be dead and gone long before another "real" war takes place. And no, no President in the future will use nukes even if the invading commmie hordes have made it to the shores of the Potomac.
And don't forget, their solution to the high tax rate driving our corporations overseas is to raise taxes even higher. It is a cognitive dissonance of the highest order.
Small wonder they wrap themselves in the flag and call others "traitors." Alinsky would be proud.
