    It looks to me that US businesses have historically been parking their money in Europe to avoid taxes...

    But in all of his bitching, he never really says specifically what is unfair. So what the fuck is he bitching about? I want answer from people with at least a minor in economics or equivalent business acumen (read Wall Street Journal more than once a week). I don't want any motherfucking guesses.

    This is Trump's explanation today.

    We’re like the piggy bank that everybody’s robbing,” Trump said.

    If I can pay employees $3.50 a day to make a widget, but you have to pay $13.00 an hour, who can sell their widgets for less?
    That's exactly why cutting taxes won't bring jobs back to America that Trump promised.

    The one area where I disagree with Trump.

    He still believes that cars, manufacturing and other labor intensive jobs can make a come back in America.

    if you look at the world through his lens, America was great when we built shit.

    It won't be labor intensive anyway. It will be manufacturing with robotics.

    He's not eh o my one who thinks that.

    Amdn not sure he is entirely wrong about it.

    The fact is, there are, and for the foreseeable future, will be, WAY more people who have no role in an Tech/services economy than those who do.

    And our economic relations with china go well beyond IP theft.

    Our exports go through vetting and more economically inefficient bullshit than you can shake a stick at.
