I’m in complete disbelief how naive the US Government is these days by trying to take 35% of US companies profits and then surprised when some of our largest companies move their business elsewhere and take their money with them.
The US Government’s response is to create more tax laws trying to force companies to pay taxes and close loopholes. This is not rocket science, basic toddler behavior, the more rules you try to enforce the more erratic and undesirable behavior results. Maybe the US politicians have never raised a kid or they have not watched enough star wars. Give companies a reason to stay, incentivize them.
So the US is currently willing to accept 0% of profits and stick by their laws instead of accepting something less than 35% and incentivize companies to stay in the US. Seems pretty bull headed to me, but who am I to say; oh wait I’m one of the millions paying our politicians salaries!
In conclusion, it seems the US government has forgotten that our nation is built on top of our people not our policies and laws.
