If tax breaks and government policies helped to create the situation we have now though, you don’t mind government intervention at all do you.

Tax breaks caused our situation? What the hell are you talking about?

If our government has the highest corporate tax rates, and the taxation is less if corporations manufacture off-shore, wouldn't you agree the corporations get a tax break if they manufacture off-shore?

If high corporate tax rates exist as you claim they do, what kind of tax impact is there if the jobs are moved off-shore? Doen't that amount to a tax break for moving jobs off-shore?

Wow, put down the crack pipe.

LOL, don't you see what a conumdrum you've created for yourself here?  I mention tax breaks, and you ask me what the hell I'm talking about.  And then in your next offering (just below), you admit that government interference gives companies a(n) (what must be a tax) incentive to move off-shore...  So which is it?  Do you agree corporations get tax breaks to move off-shore or not?  See red text above.  See the following offereing from you.

I'm in favor of less government interference (that means I'm in favor of lower taxes) and you're admitting that government interference (highest in the world tax rates) gives companies an incentive to move offshore, but that somehow means I "don’t mind government intervention at all do you"?

I just asked you above, if you thought corporations got tax-breaks to manufacture off shore.  You said no.  See red text above.  Corporation's tax exposure is less if the corporation does manufacture off shore.  When we can agree on that, perhaps we'll move on.

I'll try again, with smaller words just for you.

Well I appreciate it, but perhaps you should try smaller words just for you.

I want US companies to have lower taxes here, so they don't have lower taxes there. That means more jobs here.

I agree.  It sure is stange why it takes a number of posts for you to agree that government does compel corporations to manufacture off-shore via tax incentives, whether intentional or not.

What's even stranger is watching you claim both in the same response.

I agree, government interference, in the form of highest in the world corporate tax rates, pushes corporations out.

I'd prefer less taxes, to keep corporations and jobs here.

The only conundrum is how you think our government is giving tax cuts and that somehow drives corps offshore.

Do you agree corporations get tax breaks to move off-shore or not?

Our government does not give tax breaks to move offshore.

Corporation's tax exposure is less if the corporation does manufacture off shore.

Where you're blaming less government interference, in the form of lower tariffs and fewer restrictions, I'm blaming our idiotic tax rates (and structure, taxing world-wide income) and idiotic regulation.

Can we agree on that?

It sure is stange why it takes a number of posts for you to agree that government does compel corporations to manufacture off-shore via tax incentives,

Driving corporations away is not a tax incentive.
