WTF. No wonder they want to stop that. The government wants its hand on all the tax money.

Funny how he is OK taxing individual immigrants who are already poor but not wealthy coporations that have $2.6 trillion overseas.

At a 35% corporate tax rate, that's $910 billion in tax revenue we are actually supposed to have but don't.  He could build 20+ walls with that money but, you know, he'd rather piss off immigrants than his rich buddies and himself/family.

So are you for protectionist policies or not? Because those tax havens are created by two things (super lax trade and complex tax code that allows for so many loopholes) and both have had pretty bipartisan support.
