I'm glad you are approaching the final time. Here's the comment to which I responded:
If the products produced by US companies inside the US are going to be taxed at 35%, it is only fair to levy a stiff tax on imports to level the playing field.
It is as "not quite accurate" as mine, why don't you apply the same standard? And why aren't you arguing that the tax be removed on U.S. companies for their operations overseas? That would "level the playing field," since the U.S. is practically the only industrialized country in the world to punish its corporations in such a fashion.

Actually you responded to a comment from Soul of the South speculating about an issue of fairness, to wit leveling the playing field: "IF ...". Raising taxes on foreign corporations was spoken of as a method of "leveling the playing field" if a certain condition existed.
My post contributed the information that corporations both foreign and domestic, especially large corporations, were very creative in avoiding corporate income taxes.
You seem to have confused Soul's speculation and suggestion, and my additional information both as across the board recommendations for raising taxes.
I linked back to Soul's and my posts, in hopes you would realize that without me having to spell it out for you.
