This is the best argument in favor of lower corporate taxes to levels found in other countries. How wounderful it would be if companies in other countries were using the US as their tax haven instead of money flowing OUT of the US. Lower corporate taxes and businesses will keep their money here.

Indeed, Ireland alone collects billions in tax revenue from US companies, that could be staying here.

Lower the rates, close the loopholes.

Odd that no googlicious leftists have seen fit to chime in yet.

I've stated exactly this proposal on CD before. If we make our country more corporation friendly with regard to taxation, more businesses will set up shop here, and more jobs will move here, and more people will be employed here, and more people working will be paying taxes here.
