    well, i think that no matter the changes that we make to our tax structure for corporations in reducing their taxes even further than we already have over the last century, it still WILL NOT keep them from off shoring their businesses....no matter the tax break, it will not keep their jobs here because the labor costs overseas, outweighs any benefit from a miniscule tax cut....imho.

    No taxes is not a miniscule amount. Putting in place a 30 or 40% penalty tax for those that out source is a strong deterent as well.
    People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

    Also eliminate all government aid to businesses. Let them either live or die, that is the way capitalism works.

    I am for preserving America. Taxes are not anti-capitalism. Sorry. In that tax system the business has a choice stay and have no taxes or leave and pay them. That is not limiting capitalism.

    Capitalism refers to an economic and social system in which the means of production are predominantly private[1][2] owned and operated, and in which investments, distribution, income, production and pricing of goods and services are determined through the operation of a market economy. It is usually considered to involve the right of individuals and groups of individuals acting as "legal persons" or corporations to trade capital goods, labor, land and money (see finance and credit).
    People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

    or take the entire company and move it to a nation that allows international bussiness....thus the entire employee base is lost....

    or they can simply hire all local people at an increased wag rate and then just pass those costs along in the form of higher prices.....then watch their market share drop to the foreign international companies unless the federal government impose tarriffs on foreign products which will in turn cause foreign govts to impose tarriffs on us products......so where are you then....a closed economy .....
