Quote:The tax rate isn't the problem. The nation's trade policy is the problem. Get rid of free trade, raise import tariffs to make it more expensive to produce abroad and you'll see a job boom in the US the like of which hasn't been seen since the middle of last century.

 

You're nuts man, you can't have the 2nd highest tax rate in the WORLD, git rid of free trade and raise import tarriffs and really thing business is going to stay state side. This isn't the middle of the century, there's just as much capital for companies to chase in Europe and Asia as there is in America. We're not the only dog and pony show in town anymore. Companies that did stay here would reduce labor as much as possible to cover the new cost, you'd have a massive wave of automated workers ( self check out lanes, drone delivery's, robot manufacturing) but the last thing a company is going to do is take on new payroll when their taxes and tarriffs go up.
