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.

Abusive tax rate? You haven't been keeping up have you. Over fifteen
hundred Corporations paid no tax. If a corporation is paying the 35%
they better get a new tax accountant. When they do pay taxes, everything
including the kitchen sink is deducted before taxes.
Individuals usually pay a higher rate.
This spiel is getting old. Surprised many still swallow it.
If they make their money here, on Americans, they should pay their taxes
here to support the Republic. If they paid their share everyone else
could pay less, in theory.

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.

Funny, I don't blame them. A iPad made in China and sold in China is
supposed to pay DC income tax?

Maybe China should impose a 5% currency loss taxes on US....

Hear yourself think? Look GE, putting $2B into China, moving its medial
where the profits are. Makes sense.

You backwards fleabeggars need to know the universe does not rotate
around USA. Who knows, maybe Apple will pick up sticks and move to
China. All USA has to offer is just more debt and debt-taxation.

Which is really why jobs suck, not a good environment.

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.

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.

If I have $100 billion in China and I pay 15% tax in China I have $85
billion. Then when I repatriate that money I pay 35% on my $100 billion
leaving me with $50 billion. Why would I ever want to lose half of my
profits just to bring the money to the USA?

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.
