I Love My Country More When It Doesn’t Tax Me Blind

Didn’t George III used to make a similar argument about tea-drinkers?

  1. Yeah, they’re fleeing the country to avoid crushing corporate taxes. And they’re also fleeing because NAFTA and a raft of such agreements have made it dirt-cheap to manufacture in China, Indonesia, Taiwan, Mexico… Six million jobs gone and counting.

    Couldn’t we do something about those “perverse incentives,” instead of just jaw-boning businesses?
