>>corporations try to level the playing field<< Corporate greed knows no bounds. Any efficiency they gain which produces $$ (outsourcing just one example) they keep for the executives, returning very little to employees in wages/benefits or to shareholders via dividends. To the extent they show they're employing Americans, paying decent wages/benefits, not overcompensating their executives, and rewarding shareholders they get progressive tax breaks. To the extent they fail to demonstrate these requirements they get progressive tax rates. And sure, raise tariffs to protect Americans. If someone wants to buy a foreign product that's 3x as good and cost 5x more than the same item made in America, let them. Admittedly I've used a broad brush here ;-)
