re: #543 Obdicut

That is the basic point: We are told by the reflexive “lower taxes” types that taxation needs to be reduced so that jobs will be created. However, corporations are already receiving profits, but they’re creating jobs overseas— helped by a tax code that actually benefits them from doing so.

People will take their business where they can get the best deal on taxes, productivity, and a variety of other market forces. I hear people complain all the time about “outsourcing” while the US does its best to take as much business from France/Germany/Italy/Japan (all international corps with facilities in Indiana btw). You cannot stop outsourcing, the best you can do is make our system as competitive as possible.
