>>No, I don’t get ‘your point’.

It’s very simple:

Is a tax on moving employees an incentive or disincentive to create employment in the place that does so?

>>>In the meantime, companies that are planning on leaving will cancel plans because of a pending tax, and this will compel them to get behind Trump’s tax reform and other reforms with full commitment, resulting in Congress passing the reforms by large margins.

So.. correct me if I’m wrong:

He will only use it as a hammer to get them to support reduced regulation and taxes?

Do you really need a hammer for this, they’d be for it?

Is he not going do the new tax and regulation (on companies employee-moving) if they support it?

And if he’s going to do it anyway, you’ve just added new taxes and regulations and dis-incentives to doing business in America.

There’s no logic here in your scenario. Is it even in Trump’s plan - this strategy your propose? Is this his plan or what you’re proposing?

I guess people have to go really slow with you eh? This will be the last you get from me because dense is not worth fiddling with.

We are talking about moving factories, not employees. And the ‘mental experiment’ you suggested in a previous post is completely invalid because Texas would not be allowed to tax a company for moving out of state under the US Constitution.

So there is no answer to your question because it is nonsense. American factories moved overseas for cheap labor will lose the incentive because they will face a tax on goods coming back in. There is no ‘movement of employees’ to talk about.

Move along now. You had more than your five minutes.
