So then if keeping business in America is so important, the reduction of taxes will keep businesses far more than raising tariffs.
The real question is what changed? Why are companies off shoring. A world leading tax rate is the single largest reason. 15%-39% (federal) + 0%-12% (state) + 0%-3% (local)
Agree, I would replace all income taxes with tariffs and sales taxes. Any thing that helps businesses is good with the exception of off shoring. It is in a category all by itself. It has social and political ramifications that are not just “business”.
