2. Paying $0.50 more for a US made pen instead of a foreign made pen. If you want to cut the tax rate on the US based pen maker to 0%, I'd be all for it. Giving the government more control over trade, not so much.

Lowering the corporate tax rate to 0% on those items that are made here from 100% US parts would cause an explosion of manufacturing and higher end jobs here in the US.
Which is why Congress will never let it happen.
