If we could weaken China's economy

[Harpy Eagle]

Ive been an executive for consumer products companies for a few decades. You can say what you want but you will not pay more for something based on where it is made. Also China doesn’t make cheap stuff, it makes stuff that it is asked to make. iPhones are not cheap but are made their for much less than here. Most companies make products as cheaply as possible but the same factory that makes Ralph Lauren can make a walmart shirt too… just with lower grade materials and less cutting and sewing. Heck, a top of the line Calloway driver is made in China.

There are a lot of quality products that come out of China. The best graphics cards are made there.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Never did in the first place,

The article you quoted did, moron.

THAT wasn't your comment, moron.

"They were getting a break because overseas tax rates were lower".

US-23%

23% what?

Corporate tax rate, you fucking idiot.

 

[DudleySmith]

By buying less of the crap that is manufactured there. Would you opt to buy less crap and instead pay a little bit more for the things you need and stop buying the things you don't need ?

I've already been doing that for a long time now. I don't even buy products made in California any more either.

 

[DudleySmith]

There are a lot of quality products that come out of China. The best graphics cards are made there.

By foreign designers and engineers, and Taiwan makes them. Soon they're moving back here or to Mexico. The only people who love Red China are labor racketeers and heavy polluters, and they don't make anything that can't be made somewhere else. AMD and Nividia have some assembly lines in REd China, but their chips are made in the U.S. and at Taiwan foundries.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

THAT wasn't your comment, moron.

"They were getting a break because overseas tax rates were lower".

Corporate tax rate, you fucking idiot.

The US corporate tax rate is 21%, not 23%, you stupid twat.

""They were getting a break because overseas tax rates were lower".

That makes your argument even worse.

The old US rate was 35%......idiot.

Inversions are starting to revert.

When Mylan moved its corporate address to the Netherlands in 2015, the pharmaceutical company joined a wave of corporate inversion deals aided by tax advantages of a non-U.S. address. Now, Mylan’s address is coming back to the U.S. through a merger deal this week with part of Pfizer Inc., a sign that the 2017 tax law is rendering these moves less attractive than they once were.


The deal comes a month after Allergan PLC—another inverted pharmaceutical company, based in Dublin—announced its return to a U.S. parent through a sale to AbbVie Inc.


On balance, say tax lawyers and analysts, foreign addresses still confer a slight tax advantage.

But after the U.S. corporate tax cuts in the 2017 law, the edge is small enough that it might not be worth reputational and political costs.

Those changes might deter new inversions and cause inverted companies to retake U.S. addresses if other business reasons warrant such a move. Inversion deals were particularly hot from 2012 to 2015, as companies such as Eaton Corp. and Medtronic PLC took foreign addresses.

Drug maker Mylan is joining other large corporations reverting to addresses in the U.S., a sign the 2017 tax law is rendering once-popular inversions less attractive.

Can't read? DURR.

Mylan and Allergan.

And don't forget the cash..........

Investment banks and think tanks have estimated that U.S. corporations held $1.5 trillion to $2.5 trillion in offshore cash at the time the law was enacted. Before the overhaul, companies had an incentive to keep profits overseas because they owed a 35% tax when bringing it back and could defer payment by keeping funds offshore. The law set a one-time 15.5% tax rate on cash and 8% on non-cash or illiquid assets.

U.S. companies have repatriated $1 trillion since tax overhaul

That's still short of the $4 trillion in overseas profits that President Trump would return as a result of the 2017 tax law.

April 10 2003
Mylan Relocates Corporate HeadquartersPITTSBURGH, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 10, 2003--Mylan Laboratories Inc. (NYSE: MYL) a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of generic and proprietary pharmaceuticals announced today the relocation of its Corporate Headquarters to a new state-of-the-art office complex in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.
The new offices, within the Horizon Center, located in the Southpointe Industrial Park offer a convenient location, with easy access to commuter arteries, the Pittsburgh International Airport and the Company's main manufacturing facility in Morgantown, West Virginia. The new location is more accessible for its employees, customers and other visitors.

STILL based in the US, MORON.

and Allergan?

Allergan plc is an American, Irish-domiciled pharmaceutical company that acquires, develops, manufactures and markets brand name drugs and medical devices in the areas of medical aesthetics, eye care, central nervous system, and gastroenterology. The company is the maker of Botox.

Allergan plc was formed in March 2015 when Irish–registered Actavis plc acquired U.S.–registered Allergan, Inc., and assumed the Allergan name.

In 2016, Allergan sold its generic business, Actavis, to Teva Pharmaceuticals for $40.5 billion.

In June 2019, U.S. pharmaceutical company AbbVie announced it had reached an agreement to acquire Allergan for $63 billion.

An Irish company acquiring a US company IS NOT moving American companies, back home, idiot.

As your dear leader CLAIMED lowering the tax would?

Tell me again how rates weren't lower overseas

STILL not a reason for corporations to move overseas.

And how household income didn't increase.

Never said it didn't.
