German investment in the US is expected to rise by 39 billion because of lower US corporate taxes.
German economists are warning that the changes sought by President Donald Trump mean that significant amounts of new investment and jobs will shift from Europe to the United States.
The tax competition will have a new dimension, said Christoph Spengel, chairman of the corporate tax department at the University of Mannheim. Mr. Spengel, who is also a research associate at the Center for European Economic Research, and a group of tax experts at the university have done a detailed comparison of the two countries tax systems and published a report under the heading, Germany loses out in US tax reform.

Good. US President placing US interests first is what’s supposed to happen.
Germany can go pass their own tax reform if they want to remain competitive.

It's not screwing the taxpayer if it puts Americans to work. The tax payer is screwed now.
- He pays for the cheap import.
- Then pays again to support the unemployed Americans.
- Then pays again because the unemployed Americans aren't paying their share of taxes.
- The taxpayer is hit again, when the unemployed Americans aren't buying whatever products or services the taxpayer provides.

And it isn’t like their muslim “immigrants” are likely to help, either-they’re smart enough to know Poland would just love an excuse to kick terrorist ass...

No they can’t. I’m working with a nice Polish lady online on an IT ticket.
She’s probably a REAL Catholic Girl too.
They can invade AFTER she closes that ticket with that exotic accent.

Thanks Trump20162020. That's a shame. Hey! Maybe Angela can get the United Nations to repeal the tax reform! Or get the court in the Hague to find it illegal! /sarc
