America has tons of giant international corporations, there is nothing coming out of Germany that is going to compete with McDonald's or Coca Cola.

normally id be against this sort of thing, but when corporations decide that theyre going to find every way they can to "cheat" on taxes (including bribes to congress), this extra tax really doesnt seem like that much. Aside from this: middle class americans are being duped into more taxes, because the governement is being cheated out of an estimated 1/2 of its money by corporate america.

While foreign nations decrease tax rates to attract foreign companies/investment, democrats seek to raise taxes on U.S. corporations...so dumb. S Korea has no foreign investment tax, Germany recently lowered theirs, Mexico's is abt 6% along the border, Russia has proposed lowering theirs, & so on. Dems don't get it: lowering U.S. corp taxes to globally competitive rates enables corps to thrive, enabling expansion/projects, which creates jobs. JFK knew this: see JFK tax cuts on utube. MBA grad.

At the beginning it says it's an issue before Congress... but is it a current bill or something they are tossing around? I visited the website, but found no further information. A search on the Library of Congress webpage brings up several results for "tax deferral" in the curent congressional session. I'd love to share this video on facebook, but before I do I need to know exactly what bill this is so I can let my friends and family know what to refer to in a letter to their rep.

so you dont understand basic economics. Companies that dont grow can't hire as much, also, why work in america when you can work in china for less. Basically leave america. The biggest "american company" is boeing, and it only has 35% of its business in the US. So tell me, if the biggest company only does 35% of its business in america, and we tax them more, you think they will continue?

So y0ou want to hurt the poor? making them pay more for the same products? If someone is having difficulty paying for an american made product and the cost of that, then what would change if foreign companies had to pay more? All you are doing is hurting the poor of the country who rely on cheaper products in order to survive.

Also, you are then supporting bad business practice. Companies that do well to keep prices down shouldn't be penalized.

want fair play and free trade does not offer that
