Look- I'm all for lowering the corporate tax. The difference between the US and France, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden, is they don't allow the labor dumping situation!!! Those countries heavily tax their workers and get the money that way. Does France have an L1 or H1B program where workers can come from 3rd world countries and get paid in their local currency in an offshore bank- NO. If we close the borders, and don't allow the free flowing movement of labor, completely cutting off the visas, we'd probably have a surplus and be hiring again!!! We have offshored a ton of jobs, but offshoring is a risky venture with no international travel allowed for your workforce. Plus where would you get the people that speak the Indian dialects? Our schools don't teach it. We either 1. Raise corporate income taxes or 2. Close the borders like Europe does Those are the 2 options! US companies want both, no corp taxes and no labor requirements- I am fed up, Oracle corp should LEAVE, hopefully Larry doesn't let the door hit him in the @ss on the way out!
