Oct 2017

Even I can see possibilities for blowback from our allies overseas, perhaps affecting their potential investments here.

Questions:
1. Were taxes paid on these monies in the nation where they were earned?
2. Is any of this money profits from US operations that were transferred to overseas subsidiaries to avoid US taxes?
3. Do you think a significant amount of this money would be used to invest in new job producing operations in the US?

Thanks again for your input!
