I agree that we should lower tax rates but let's think something through. Congress is established to deal with common goods not particular ones. If we allow business to ship jobs overseas, pay little in local, state and federal taxes when they do leave and then turn around and sell their crap in the US I call bull. Business is a particular interest and should be dealt with as such. Our economy, defense, and general welfare shouldn't be held hostage because some jackass at any company can make a bigger buck in another nation. Yes government needs to get off the backs of business but it's about time business stood firm for their own country not the global market place.
