All of that creates revenue that will be taxed.
What's the use of taxing Ford 35% of nothing as opposed to taxing them 15% of a company building in the U.S. plus the expanded tax base that will be created?
Don't we WANT companies to build and hire in the U.S.?
The alternative is what we've had for the last couple of decades as company's have fled the U.S. for greener pastures.
The U.S. should BE the greenest pasture of them all...right?

You're right about not thinking it through. Honestly I'm still hungover from last night
I'm a blue dog Democrat so I'm all about companies making money etc. , after all, WE are business owners LOL We should be the first place the world goes to do business & manufacture, not China, though we can't compete with their $2 an hour average wage.
