5. a little misleading

Corporations have never been more "mobile"

A new tax rate won't solve the problem by itself.

We need a new vision and regulations that make sure that Corporations that use the American market for their profit pay the bill.

For example... Alibaba paid China taxation of nearly 8 Billion dollars last year.

They don't pay the US Gov't JACKSHIT.

And here they are on the NYSE with AMERICANS owning MILLIONS (billions?) of their shares?

Can we have a Globe full of foreign corporations doing business here, soaking up American investment dollars and pay no tax?
