and make it so that they can not write those taxes off nor reduce the rate that they pay through tax loop holes. We can also give tax breaks to those who bring jobs back to America, hire Americans and pay a living wage.

We already influence behavior with our tax codes. So we can force any company that do business in America to manufacture in America with our tax codes.
