I would also like to point out that the democrats took control of Congress in 2006.


Think of how we would be doing if we correctly taxed offshore money, didn't have a 20 year long War, and didn't make a gigantic tax cut for corporations in the United States. Pretty sure it's more than a drop in the bucket

For the past 70+ years, the US tax receipts average out to about 18.5%. Taxing more doesn't increase the percent and taxing less doesn't either. If you want to increase tax receipts you have to grow the GDP. It isn't rocket science.

The first 13 years of the GWOT only amounted to $160B/yr.

We don't tax "offshroe money" for the same reason people in Lousiana don't pay property and income taxes to California.

They hype doesn't live up to the math.
