corporations wont pull up stakes and move their over sea operations back to the US if tax rates drop to ZERO ..
wont happen as long as they can get cheap ass labor.
the end.
The whole point of the tax cut is to encourage corporation to bring their overseas profits back to the US, not to bring jobs back. Currently they're holding the money offshore, because they will be taxed at their current rates on the amount they bring home.
While I agree that moneys which have been taxes overseas, should not be double taxed when it comes home, I strongly disagree with the notion that multi-nationals are paying 35%.
The only corporations paying the top rate are small, closely held corporations. The effective rate for large multi-nations is in the neighbourhood ot 10 - 15%. So the proposed cuts will benefit large multi-nationals most of all.
the $ isnt double taxed ... and those profits that make it back home do what, start a business, or go into an investment portfolio ?
The right seems to think that these corporations will use the money to create jobs. Given that these same corporations are already awash in cash, and could easily expand and hire using those $$$ and haven't, I seriously doubt that ANY of the money currently off=shore will be used for anything other than dividends and executive bonuses.
