You know what would turn it up instantly? If the potus would accept that allowing companies to make money overseas and bring it back to the US WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL TAXES would allow them to pay dividends, buy back stock and pay higher wages to US workers... rather than ship more and more high paying R&D and manufacturing jobs overseas where they can spend the cash without the tax hit.... We'd get much of it back by taxes on the dividends, higher asset prices in pension funds, higher US salaries that would be taxed.... but we seem to have elected official who think success should be punished with taxation.
