My point is you don't know WTF you are talking about.
Feel free to point out a single statement I made that was demonstrably false (in other words, one of the statements based on facts, rather than purely my stated opinion on those facts.
Alternatively, feel free to admit you felt the need to sling an unsupported accusation to cover up the fact that you have no idea WTF I'm talking about because you don't understand economic analysis. Don't feel bad, lots of people don't.
Or, if you do actually understand it, feel free to apologize and start engaging in rational discussion based on actual analysis.
One we don't set the policies of foreign nations.
I never said we do.
At a certain threshold whether you are a citizen or corporation, you must pay taxes on foreign earnings including interest.
Why? Why do we need to tax a citizen or corporation on wages or business income earned in a foreign country? Why not just let that income be taxed at whatever rate the foreign country decides and leave it at that? My idea would remove the incentive for U.S. corporations to go to other countries by treating them on par with how we treat foreign corporations.
The California vs Florida thing is because states can set their own state tax policies. Florida doesn't have State Income Taxes.
Yes, and the U.S. v. Cayman Islands thing is because countries can set their own tax policies. The Cayman Islands don't have Income Tax.
Your point is absurd and irrelevant.
I can't stop you from thinking it is absurd, although you have yet to put together a single coherent statement of analysis to support that opinion. It is however, completely relevant as it goes to the heart of why companies choose to "renounce their U.S. citizenship" - because we have tax policies that discriminate against them for being U.S. corporations.
In regard to subsidies and loopholes, so often kickbacks are fed to the powers that be. Whether it be election contributions, free labor adding on a new additional to one's mansion, etc.
Then why not implement my change and remove the incentive for the loophole? It ought to be easier to adjust the income tax rate to reach the desired revenues than to leave in place a system that treats companies differently depending upon their willingness to take advantage of the ability to become a foreign corporation to eliminate tax on foreign income.
Tons of ways to take money from one hand and put it into another's under the radar for profit.
There is a huge reason people spend millions on running for a seat that makes them only around $100k a year.
Neither the status quo nor my proposed changes will stop that, but at least my proposed change would result in a simpler system with fewer loopholes.
