I often find myself amazed at the brainpower and experience of those who offer their thoughts on this forum. I would welcome some comments on a few questions that never really seem to asked when I'm listening to the folks on the radio about how their tax reform ideas are the only way we are going to make it in the next decade.
I have heard many people suggest that if we remove the corp. tax from companies that we would see major company's coming back to the shores of the USA. I often wonder if such a move would really increase our ability to compete against the world market or rather just become a tax hideout for the megacompanies?
The same folks have also indicated they felt the workforce in America would also increase, I'm not so sure of this. I wonder if such a move in tax reform would only benefit the stockholders or would it actually increase jobs for the average American? Would we see a return in manufacturing jobs since no corporation taxes per say would be paid and the now freed funds being used to maintain employees and manufacturing in this country?
Would we perhaps just see a shift of taxes onto the shoulders of the American public?
