Reply #2: so... I guess the robots would be cheaper if [View All]

if they were located right here in the United States. The you don't have the ship the final product across the Pacific Ocean to where the customers are, in the United States.

So when is this huge boom in robot manufacturing going to start in the United States? Oh wait... never? Because the owners of the corporations don't want to pay US taxes, they just want to sell their product here... and deposit their cash in the Caymans.

I am not sure there is a better solution for taxing corporations. They will always find a method to avoid paying. Maybe the best solution is a sales tax on everything. Anything SOLD in the United States gets taxed at a higher rate. Just give corporation their zero tax rate, so there would NEVER be an excuse to move a company outside the US. But then at the same time, increase the tax rates on the wealthy.

Trade "no taxes for corporations" for "increases on income taxes". FYI... most corporation ALREADY pay zero taxes.
