Absolutely.
This is money stashed away in off shore tax havens. How do you think it got there ?
Revenues generated outside of the US in zero tax circular corporate structures.
Starbucks, Google, Facebook, bla bla, all of them generating vast sums in Europe and paying virtually zero tax because their ultimate tax jurisdiction is so vague.
So Trump lets then bring it into the US. No questions asked, zero fucks given.
This is money that should have helped to support the social systems where it was plundered. The free affluent societies that create an environment in which the multi nationals flourish need tax revenues or they will fail. So if Corporate giants put a bit back the social systems are properly funded relieving the burden from the citizens.
Or not, and the poor get fucked again.
