Too bad Apple is keeping most of their cash in China (a fact)

Maybe if we didn't have such an abusive corporate tax rate they would
repatriate some of that money and perhaps, make something here.

Too bad we don't penalize companies who ship jobs overseas or reform
the tax code, so that companies who do business in the US pay US
taxes.

Taxing companies in foreign countries - they are just going to tell the
USA to **** off. And why some have already moved. DC can tax them on
imports, but Americans pay. Sort of like oil, tax oil you pay. As it
should be.

Did you know that DA Plume's native Iceland is actually one of our
better trading partners. Their exports (fish) to us are less than our
exports to them.
But our trade balances with China, Mexico, Canada,Japan, and Germany
need fixing. Maybe some more tariffs on them. And eliminate Nafta.

NAFTA haters would like to cut their own throats. Fact is if you have
to pay more for things, you will consume less. You can't protect your
way to prosperity but you can raise costs and lower consumption.

Be my guess, the people that hurt the worst with this bull**** are the
same ones that propel it.

For example, local office furniture shop needs steel, but has to buy
inferior and more costly US steel has to charge more for furniture and
offset it with lower wages or higher prices. In the process people buy
less and less employment. In the end less prosperity for all.

Take oil. Go ahead, tax them more. They will pass the costs right to
you at the pump.

Seems like paying your bills with real money is no longer the accepted
behavior in USA. Perhaps that is the problem and not the the solution.
