Talk to the Democrats, they're the ones widening the gap between the rich and poor, and destroying the middle class.

Stop overseas tax shelters. If the money is made in the U.S. it shouldn't be stashed overseas to avoid taxes.
A former Representative put forth the idea that if a CEO makes more than 100 times that of the lowest paid employee that difference should not be able to be written off as a business expense.
For example, if the lowest paid employee made $35,000 a year, anything over $3,500,00 could not be written off.

I don't agree with either of your suggestions. Money moved overseas just means our tax system is to regressive. Reduce the taxes, and that money will stay here. As for the "lowest paid employee" idea, what if his legitimate business deductions are over that? BTW, that socialism.
When taxes are reduced, the rich keep more money here in country, and free up more for capital investment. New companies start with this investment and more people are employed. Increase taxes, and the rich hoard more money, and move it into tax shelters, of which many are overseas. Rich people do the hiring, not the poor, or lower middle class.
The U.S. currently has the second highest corporate tax in the world, and is the only country that taxes companies that have company entities overseas on top of the taxes they pay to that host country. That needs to change. the problem is the democrats are in power, and they only know how to raise taxes. Exception being JFK, the only democrat to reduce taxes, and it worked.

Much like you deere. Lack of brain power limits you ability to even comment.

Re paying taxes to jost countries. Why do they have one room corporate headquarters in other countries that have no income taxes, if it isn't to avoid taxes here?

There is something wrong with my keyboard. Should read:

Hypocrisy is a national political disease. There is not one good side and one bad side politically, but only a thinly disguised "One-Party Two-Party" system that is bent on incumbency and the necessary re-election.
Mark Twain said, "Vote the rascals out," but the Maslar political philosophy is a bit more harsh.
"If they choose, on their own, to run for office, elect them for two terms at a time, and let them spend the first term in jail, because they must've done something."

Okay wise ass, what is the solution? And, don't feed me the typical left-wing socialist idea of distribution of wealth.

It seems to me that many Republicans, judging by their postings, remain toddlers for life. ha. I'll concede that many of us Democrats remain idealistic and unrealistic teenagers. It would be kinda nice (and kind) if some of the GOP toddlers matured to teenage viewpoint and some of the Democrat teenagers could grow up to be more realistic. Well, I suppose toddlers are cute and teenagers are promising--just that overall we need a little more generational balance.

I just told you why they don't invest here.
If they are headquartered and registered in this country, they are not exempt from paying taxes just because they have an office or facility in another country.
